How do you put on a girls birthday tea?

We Answered:

The first thing you need is crystal, or crystal-like, dishes. Each girl should wear gloves and a hat and be invited to look her very best, wearing a dress. A fun game idea would be a tea cup decorating activity. Each girl would get a piece of paper in the shape of a teacup, and on it, she could color her name and any designs she wants to represent her: flowers, etc. Next, she would get a little holder of some kid to affix to the back of it, to be used as a placecard at the table. Next, you can buy little disposeable cameras, if you want to, for each girl, to snap pictures as she wants to at the party, and they can give them to you at the end to make sure all the most candid moments are captured.
You should have decaffeinated tea: there are many flavors such as peach, cinnamon, and apple, etc., for your little girls, and next, the sandwiches, and cookies, etc.
The following website has some wonderful recipes:

Common sandwiches to have are egg salad and cucumber, both found on this site and others you can find online with ease.

Another excellent thing to have which I have no recipes for is a kind-of three salad sandwich loaf. For this, you need tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, and white, wheat, rye, and whatever other kind of bread you want to use, and you mix up the salads, putting a different kind of salad in between each kind of bread, stacking it up and alternating the kinds of bread so that there is a variated color.
When you have about five to six layers, cover the whole thing with softened cream cheese. Refrigerate it for a few hours, and when it is chilled, cut it. Each slice will have all the alternating breads and the alternating salads in it. It is special and festive, but easy to make.
I hope you enjoy your tea party! I've been robbed of my chance to have girls! Have all my fun for me!

Haw do I entertain the girls during tea time at my daughter's tea party birthday ball?

We Answered:

Think of creative topics to talk about that are decent to me conversated amongst the girlies like school gossip, movie stars, fashion and all that fun stuff. For fun can try to talk in british accents or impersonate one them, was fun to do when I was little.

Hope that helps and hope you and your daughter have a great time with the time comes :)

This may help. but also contact some of your upscale hotels, Many have high tea and are more than happy to accomedate children. Is there an American Girl Doll Store in SF? If so, it's a GREAT place for this sort of party.
Good luck & have fun!

Adrian Said:

Ideas for girls birthday party - party bags, games etc?

We Answered:

Hi There!

If your are doing cupcakes instead of cake... how about getting the kids to decorate their own cupcakes? You could just do plain cupcakes with just vanilla or chocolate frosting and have the kids decorate them themselves. They can put some sprinkles or stick some jelly beans on them, or something like that.

We had kids decorate cookies in our store once and it was a huge success!

Another idea is to do a craft.

For example you could cut paper towel rolls and then cut circles out of cardboard. If you glue the circle onto the paper towel roll you now have a craft cupcake for kids to decorate (along side an adult buddy might be best for this). Then they can put glitter, feathers, googly eyes, pompoms etc... or you can cut up pieces of fabric for them to glue on and make some funky decorative cupcakes.

Or... though this may be tougher to set up you can set up a bit of a scavenger hunt for the kids to do in the park (again with an adult buddy) to find little treats or little toys. All the toys or treats then get divided up among the kids equally so that they all get to go home with something.

These are just some ideas off the top of my head, I hope that they help!
