 Can you think of anything more feminine, more lovely, more "girly" than a group of young girls ... all dressed in their
princess finery sitting down to a decked out tea table with
royal dainties? Girls across the globe love dress up and love
tea ... so why not combine the two and make the perfect event for
your girls - a Princess Tea Party!
Here are 7 easy steps toward making the perfect memory for your
little princess:
1. Set a date: Keep in mind the ages of your little ones and
set the time when they won't be too tired, too hungry or too
cranky! The "official" teatime is late afternoon, but that
doesn't mean you can't have a wonderful teatime in the morning
as well.
2. Invite: The fun begins. Being a princess requires
invitations of the most royal kind. Lovely linen paper is easy
to find at your local craft or office supply store. Run it
through your home printer with a fancy font and you're done.
Send the invitations out about 2-3 weeks before your tea so
your guests can plan accordingly.
3. Decorate: Let your princess help with this part ... after
all, it is HER event. Royal colors include purple, gold, pink
and silver and aren't those the favorites of girls anyway?
Balloons, streamers and more balloons! We'll talk about the tea
table in a minute.
|  4. Make the food: Traditional tea fare includes scones and clotted cream. Other royal tea treats are chocolate covered
strawberries, thumbprint cookies, cucumber sandwiches (or
substitute the ever popular PB&J sandwich for younger ones) and
miniature teacakes. More details on tea party food can be found
on our website at http://www.funevents4girls.com.
 5. Set the table: Go all out here. Use a lovely tablecloth, cloth napkins and real teacups not plastic. Not only will this
be fun for your little ones, but it'll be a great lesson in
etiquette as well as they learn to put on their finest manners
for your tea.
6. Plan some games: Great princess games abound but keep it simple. Hide some gold-foiled covered coins around the house and have a hunt to return the royal treasure. Use a lovely
glass bowl as the treasure chest.  Spread your gold and silver
balloons all over the "ballroom" floor and play classical music
for a royal ball with much dancing.
7. Enjoy the day: Most of all make it fun. Take many pictures and record the memories. Your little princess will go to bed
that night smiling from ear to ear with the joy of the day!
