A Wonderland Birthday Mad Tea Party

Happy Tuesday, party lovers! 😊

Today I'm sharing the most wonderful Wonderland "UnBirthday" Mad Tea Party with you, courtesy of my talented friend Smita.

This is a perfect party theme for a spring birthday or baby shower (or even bridal shower!), as the weather is a little nicer, you can take the tea party fun outdoors!

I was thrilled to work once again with Smita to design the party printables for her gorgeous little girl Aashi's 4th birthday party, and I'm in awe of all the incredible ideas and fun decorations (not to mention food and party games!) she created for the celebration!

Check out all the stunning details and party re-cap as told by Smita below!

Upon arrival, guests followed either (i) the path to the real front door, or (ii) the white rabbit's paw prints to a mini version of the front door! Playing card guards flanked the entryway and there was plenty of signage to both guide and confuse the guests.

If the wreath didn't sufficiently warn the guests to run while they still had the chance, they entered to be greeted by a whole topsy-turvy wonderland inside, complete with a mad tea party! 

The entry table contained playing card activity cards listing all the activities to be enjoyed at the party, rabbit headbands for the little guests to wear, and signs quoting some words of wisdom (and other such nonsense) from the book. 

The backdrop featured giant paper flowers that I made from cardstock and giant playing cards. 

In addition to a topsy-turvy cake that I decorated with fondant toppers, the dessert table contained:

* cupcakes with "teacup-shaped" wrappers and topped with fondant toppers

* queen of heart home-made jam tarts

* curious oyster filled cookies

* vials of candies labeled "eat me"

* mini sugar cookies labeled "eat me"

* more sugar cookies featuring the Cheshire cat and other motifs from the book

* character cake pops served in tea pots.

Games and fun party activities to keep the guests amused included:

* Mad Hat Making with the Mad Hatter

* Pin the Smile on the Cheshire Cat, manned by the cat himself

* Painting the Roses Red the Tea Cups whatever color you want!

* Playing Card Cornhole

* Tea Cup Ride : Oh yes, we did! My daughter loved the tea cup ride at Disney World and wished for one for her birthday, so we made one out of a tire and an old chair! 

* And my favorite, flamingo croquet!

We also had a mad photo booth complete with a tiny rabbit house for the kids to sit in and feel "big" ♥ What an amazing day! Happy unbirthday to my sweet daughter!
