Themed Birthday Parties are so much fun, and my sister threw another excellent one, her best one yet. If you are wanting to throw an Alice in Wonderland, tea inspired party, this post should give you plenty of ideas to get you started!
Invitation
1. First up, the invitation: the invitations were a Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland Custom Birthday Invitation digital file from November Blue Designs.
Decorations
2. The decorations were amazing, and I’m not just saying that because my sister has a gift for throwing fantastic parties and because I helped set out the decorations. The thing I loved best about them is that most of them were repurposed or recycled!
3. Banner/Bunting
- The banners were made with pages of an old book, colored card stock, doilies and twine. The hearts were made from 12 x 12″ card stock and old book pages. Simply cut the paper into 1″ wide strips measuring 4″, 8″, 10″ and 12″ in length. You can attach the hearts with double sided tape or a stapler. Follow this detailed tutorial here. The doily banner was so easy you don’t need a tutorial. Purchase a pack of doilies from the $1 store, fold the doilies in half, add the strand of twine in the crease, and glue them together.
5. Food. The food was exactly what you’d expect at a tea party; finger sandwiches, scones and tea, and the food didn’t disappoint. It was delicious!
- Tea Sandwiches {cucumber & dill, chicken salad, and turkey & cheese}
- Fruit Skewers
- Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze
- Herbal Tea & Lemonade
- Cupcakes with Printable Toppers
- Cake Pops
Extra Touches
6. Empty Frames Photo “Center”! Rachelle painted different sized “old” frames and then set up a backdrop for some fun photo opps! She even took things a step further and made props to add to the fun!
7. “This Way, That Way” sign: a signature Alice in Wonderland piece, this sign was a hit at the party. The kids love reading the sign and posing by it for the perfect picture!
Games
8. Croquet – Because you know that an Alice in Wonderland Party wouldn’t be complete without croquet. Aren’t the pink flamingo’s fabulous? They were from Target’s $1 bin area. The big playing cards are from a local party store.
And that’s How to Throw an Alice in Wonderland Themed Tea Party.

About Angie
You are amazing.
Enough said.
Rachelle definitely knows how to throw a party. I loved that I got to contribute a lot of the decorations to the party! 🙂
This was awesome. I wanted to be there based on pictures alone! The decorations were magnificent (of course the pocket watch made me smile).
It turned out so well! And I loved that so much was repurposed!
I adore this party!!
Yay! I’m so excited to see the birthday party on your blog! I had so much fun planning it.
Thanks, Ang!

Oh my word. You two need to start a party planning business. For lazy moms… like me.
Darling. And Disgusting. lol.
So, so, so fun! Tremendous amount of creativity and effort, I love it, well done. Wish I lived closer to you girls, then I could just enjoy it and not have to do it myself, lol, just kidding, that actually is the fun part, putting a party like that on 🙂
OMG….that is absolutely one of the cutest parties I have ever seen! My daughter loves Alice in Wonderland and I may have to show her this. The heart banner was my favorite part!!!!
I love this. Thank you so much for sharing.. Such great ideas.
That looks like so much fun! I have some free Wonderland Tea Party printables on my site that could be used for a tea party like this: http://printabelle.com/?page_id=3539
Thank you for the link, printabella. They are great!
Why are you like the funnest mom EVER!
I am going to do this for my daughters 30th Birthday Party. She has always loved Alice in Wonderland since she was a little girl. I will surprise her with this very special theme. All the suggestions are wonderful. Her birthday is in Nov so I will set our living room up as the croquette room. Bring out our outdoor cartpeting for grass. I will have alot of fun with this one. Thank you!
This is AMAZING!!!!
Wow!! I kind of want a girl…
Wow, this Alice in Wonderland party has so many great ideas!
Where did you find the giant playing cards for croquet?
I found the large cards at a local party store called Blake’s. Since the party the store has gone out of business. You might try Oriental Trading Co.
A 2011 study published in Cochrane Reviews found evidence that zinc may also help slow up the
severity of cold symptoms. Around 15 grams of fat per meal is known as to drastically lessen or maybe eliminate these treatment effects.
Another missing link for the equation will be the taking the top
v3 slimming capsules. A reputable v3 dieting pill will advertise itself
factually, in plain language, with believable claims.
