Please Help! Need Ideas For A Mad Hatters Tea Party...?

nvitation:
Don't Be Late!
For a Very Important Date
"name" Birthday Party

If you're feeling quite MAD
We'll make you right GLAD
On the date that is given below.
Come in foolish Attire
For all to admire.


Decorations:
Make from construction paper-hearts, spades and diamonds. Place these around the room and on the backs of chairs. Make large playing cards on poster board to set around the room. Toss hats everywhere. Fill them with flowers. Use dolls hats for holding nuts, cookies, etc.

For a spring theme, decorate with flowers, pussy willows, ribbons, bows, and paper streamers.

Cake:
Make a straw hat cake. Bake a cake in a round 11", 6 cup oven proof bowl. Invert the cake, frost and decorate with sugar flowers.

Madeline's Hat cake: Bake a round cake layer and one small soufflé or roundish oven proof dish dish cake. The little cake will sit on top of the large cake to form a hat. Ice in yellow. Broad strap licorice for the black bow and flowers and candles in the brim.

Pampered Chef makes a very easy recipe for a tea pot cake from a cake mix and their round bowl. Decorate it with red roses, cards, sugar bunnies (where are those Easter Peeps when you need them??!!?) and maybe a croquet/pink flamingo. It will sit next to the "Eat Me" tea cakes, right next to the small bottles of juice labeled "Drink Me"

Food:
Serve Ginger-ale in champagne glasses, or tea cups. Make small cookies, cakes that say eat me. Set out conversation hearts.

Goodie Bags:
They will take home a hat that they make themselves.

Hit the garage sales and purchase simple, delicate all white china sets. At a local craft supply and purchase paint pens (specifically for china). Placed each child's name on the china and decorate it with roses. Write on the back "birthday girls 3rd Birthday" and the date. They can take this home with them to continue to have tea parties.
Additionally, you can purchase small white resin chairs so the children will feel "grown up" at their little table (instead of the dining room table looming over them). These chairs are can then be detailed with a matching motif and their names. Tie tulle and some simple pink curling ribbon to dress them up.
During your garage sale romp, pick up very elegant gloves, bright costume jewelry, scarves, boas, and a few 1.00 dresses. Decorate a cardboard box with floral wrapping paper and tons or ribbons (anything flashy looks good to a young girl). Each little girl will have a chance to pick pieces to wear from The Queens Treasure Box. This can also serve as prizes for games.
When they are all dressed, and after the hats they made have dried, take a Polaroid picture of them with the birthday girl to take home with them.
Games and Activities:

Decorate Hats:
Need: straw hats that will fit the children. If you prefer, make paper hats using firm paper plates and paper bowls. Cut out center of plate and tape and glue bowl to top. Let the children decorate them with "silk" flowers, tissue paper flowers, ribbon feathers, bows, string, streamers, etc. Use a glue gun with older kids or brads to attach.

Creative Hat Contest:
After they are done decorating. Hand out awards for their accomplishments. Make sure you have a ribbon or prize for everyone. Make up categories - most creative, most beautiful, silliest, etc.

Paint the Roses Red:
Need: butcher paper, one piece per team, with drawn roses with black marker. Red crayons or markers.
Divide kids into teams. On go the first person in line picks up a red marker/crayon and races to the rose sheet and fills in one rose. They then race back to the next in line.
First team to color all their roses red wins.

Teacup Relay:
Need-plastic teacups and saucer. Water.
Have teams ready, first must fill the cup with water and race to designated area and back again with out spilling.

Mad Spotter:
Need Colored stickers (different colors). Assign a point value to each color then stick these all over outside or in.
To Play: Give each player a card or paper and let them find as many spots as possible. Total the scores to see who wins.

Play Croquet

We Answered:

Yeah. People in general are so screwed up that I feel as though I am at the Mad Hatter's tea party.
