Whether it takes place in your backyard in the afternoon sun or in your living room with the "good china," give your favorite little girl a Birthday Tea Party that she will remember forever. Here you can find some a tea party birthday ideas for your little girls.

Invitations:

Get the kids involved: Another idea is to purchase mini bears dressed like little ladies and attach an invitation to the paw. Let your child help by decorating the invitation with crayons, glitter or tea party stickers! It might be fin to invite the kids to each bring their favorite teddy bear as a guest to the party as well!

Decorations:

Twist together pink and lavender streamers and drape them from the ceiling. You can also use streamers to outline doorways and windows.
Fill pastel-colored balloons with helium and tie them together in groups of three. Tie each group to the handle of a tea cup and set them around the party area. Add a Tea Party Mylar balloon to some of the groups for added fun.
Fill a large tea cup with flowers or flower petals and use this as the centerpiece for the table.
Set out large white doilies at every table setting, and set the table in the traditional fashion. Write each guest's name in calligraphy on a tent card and place it at their designated seat at the table.
Cut large daisy shapes out of white fabric, and add the flower center in yellow fabric. Tie one flower to the back of each chair at the table.
Hang a banner above the entrance to the party area that reads "Please Join [child's name] for Tea Time".
Set out small bouquets of pink and white flowers on all tables, and line windowsills with flower petals.
Make tissue paper flowers to set around the tables or to hand out to each guest. You can make your own with our free instructions, or get everything you need in one package with our Tissue Paper Flower Kit.
Play tea party music (classical choices work well) in the background.

Food:

There are no pizza and hamburgers at a tea party! Make this event an intimate affair, where your guests will really feel like grown-ups! Here are some ideas:

Shaped Snacks: Use cookie cutters in the shape of tea pots and flowers to make cookies. You can also use the cookie cutters to cut out shapes in sliced cheese to serve with crackers.
Finger Sandwiches: A must-have at any tea party! Make sandwiches in a variety of different flavors, such as cucumber & cream cheese, ham & cheese, peanut butter & jelly, and tuna salad. Cut the crusts off the sandwiches and then cut each into fourths. Arrange the pieces nicely on a platter for serving.
Linzer Heart Cookies: These elegant snacks are a delicious alternative to the traditional shaped sugar cookies.
Petit Fours: Serve these dainty sweets on a silver tiered serving tray for an even bigger impact.
Let each guest make their tea their own! Set out a small bowl of sugar cubes, a squeeze bottle of honey, a small plate of sliced lemon, and a creamer of milk.
Additional Beverage Options: No need to stick with just tea at your tea party! Along with the warm beverage, try serving fruit punch, lemonade, and sparkling cider as well.
Chocolate Fondue: Set up a chocolate fondue pot or a chocolate fondue fountain in the center of the table. Give each of your guests a plate of goodies for dipping, including strawberries, marshmallows, lady finders, bananas, and apple slices.
Tea Party Cake: One circular cake can create two teacup cakes! Cut a circular cake in half. On one side of each half, cut out the shape of the cup handle. Frost each cake in white frosting and decorate with pink and purple decorator icing and candies.

Favors:

You can have a lot of fun with favors for a tea party. Fill a beautiful tea cup and saucer set with Hershey's kisses and wrap the cup in a cellophane bag. Or go fill your own bag (or go with a prefilled Tea for You favor box) with an assortment of fun gifts like:
