Celebrate your Daughter’s 5th Birthday with a Tea Party

Your daughter will be delighted to celebrate her 5th birthday with a fancy tea party, because she can play dress-up and sip tea with her friends and teddy bears. Your daughter and her friends can play grown-up while celebrating her birthday. Make your daughter feel like a duchess with these tea party ideas.   

•    Invitations and post party “thank you” notes: Create a tea pot or tea cup invitation for your daughter’s party. Use catchy phrases for the invitations such as “Wear your fancy dress, white gloves, hats and pearls. We’re having a tea party!” Choose a venue that suits the theme like your garden, daughter’s room or a hotel suite. The theme can be more realistic if you ask a “butler” to deliver the invitations to the guests’ houses. Let your child show her gratitude to her guests by sending them post party “thank you” notes. Choose postcard printing for your daughter’s “thank you” notes.

•    Decorations: These complement the theme of your daughter’s party. Decorate the party venue with festive table cloth and pastel colored balloons. Put flowers on a huge tea pot and use them as table centerpiece. You can also add lacey paper fans to accentuate the tables. Play classical music to set the tea party atmosphere.   

•    Party Favors: Give the little girls tiara, jewelries or bejeweled headbands as party favors and place them in a giant tea bag or tea pot. You can give Victorian inspired calendars to the little girls’ moms. Ask your daughter to help you in designing the calendars. But if you are not good at designing, you can try the design templates of calendar printing companies.   

•    Menu: Serve your guests foods that are usually present in tea parties like cakes, small finger sandwiches, cupcakes, fruits and tea. Place the foods in fancy paper plates with elegant table napkins.

•    Games and Activities: Prepare games and activities that your guests will enjoy. You can set up a hair and make-up booth, so the little girls can get primped for the tea party. Come to a nail art salon and avail of their services for your daughter’s party. The little girls will enjoy playing Kiss the Frog and Pin the Butterfly on the Flower. Do not forget to prepare prizes for the contestants.
