Need your ideas! Tea Party...

FutureFung · March 2011

This is a fun request! My school's annual auction is coming up and we're in full-on procurement mode! I'm working on putting together a basket to make as a donation. This year's theme is an Alice in Wonderland theme, "Through the Looking Glass", so I thought a little tea party basket would be a fun one for a parent to buy for their kiddo. Then our good friends at Pinwheel Lane donated some cute party decos to go with the theme, so I thought I'd make it a tea party birthday party basket! I could use some ideas to help round out the basket. Here's what I have so far:

Pinwheel Lane party decos

Tiara

Tea Set

Tea Party book (the one by Sarah Ferguson!)

Box of children's tea

Certificate for a dozen cupcakes

Any other recs for fun stuff I can buy to put in this basket?? I want to make it a little girls party dream come true Smile

Hit me with your ideas, crafty ladies! Thanks in advance!

table cloth or place mats?

big hats and gloves - for some reason I always wore these when I was little and doing tea parties

place cards

Feather boa? Other play jewelry? Play dress up gloves? Box of tea cookies? A "furry friend" to have a tea party with (like a teddy bear)? You said tiara but when I think of tea parties I think of big fancy hats.

If you have extra money to spare a gift certificate for mother / daughter tea for here:

A tutu! (These are actually super easy to make if you just do elastic and knotted tulle, you can google instructions. Maybe red, black & white?).

One of those cute mini hats with feathers 'n netting? Might be able to find something at Claire's or Hot Topic.

A DVD of the movie? Either animated or Johnny Depp?

Maybe check the Disney store web site, I bet they have a lot of items. Maybe a stuffed cheshire cat?

Oh yes, I knew I could count on you ladies!

I love the Queen Mary certificate idea - I had lunch there on Monday and picked up a few items there. I left a letter with the owner to see if she'd donate... fingers crossed.

Adding to list: tutu, gloves, bear(s), cupcake toppers, invitations...

Love!

Im not big into stuffed animals, but I think a white rabbit would be perfect here...bonus if it has a waist coat or pocket watch!

When my sister and I had a tea play date I gave her a fancy paper invitation, we wore dresses and gloves, I had a feather boa and she had a parasol. We had tea and scones and held our pinkies out and did our best fake British accents. My favorite piece was probably the scone tray - it was a three-tierd plate and it was the showstopper at the table. I never see them with tea sets these days, so that might be a nice addition. Antique stores, tea shops and sometimes second-hand stores are good places to find them.

i like the parasol idea!

Slightly off-topic - I'd be happy to donate again, Fu. I have tons of inventory just sitting here. Let me know!
