What are some good tea party games?

We Answered:

Everyone loves musical chairs, maybe with cute fairytale music? Or, the kids could all dress up as their favorite fairy tale character and put on a cute play! When we had a tea party with young kids, they did a fairy tale scavenger hunt in Wonderland, where they found a cheshire cat plushy, a stopwatch, etc.

Kitchen Tea Party Games?

We Answered:

Hi we play a game, cant remember the name of it though.
You give everyone a piece of paper and a pen.
The paper should have a margin draw at the side and sectioned off into squares (you need to have 5 squares)
Do the same going along the top.
Then draw lines down and accross to you end up with paper with grids on it
Get some small square s of paper and think of some catergories ie: films, food, drink, childhood toys, singers, songs etc. Put them into a container, into another container you pick some words that have 5 letters in - cant have the same letters in as its wont work ie:- beach, light, grain etc are good words.
Get someone to pick out a 5 letter word, everyone writes this down the side margin, then you pick 5 catergories out of the other container and write these along the top.
The idea is to find a word that s in the group that begins with a letter out of the side margin. You usually set a timer. you need to try and find more obscure words you keep them to yourself and when the timer goes off, swap papers start with the first letter and go around the group if someone else get s the same word as you you get 5 points if noone has the same word you get 10 points add up at the end to find a winner and we ususally have small prizes. Its really good fun and you have a laugh and it suits all ages. We have played it with a 5 yr old and with my nan who is 94 yrs old.
Hope you try it and i hope you have a great time- we run the sheets up on the computer, and do the words and groups beforehand its easier that way.

What are fun games to plan when having a "mock" Tea Party?

We Answered:

How about "Spin the Nazi"?

Or "How can you be fatter and more repulsive than Rush Limbaugh?", except I don't think that's even possible.

Trivia questions based on various of Beck's insane lies, such as his moronic fantasy that the Nazis are "left wing" or "nationalized the German auto industry", both idiotic manufactured fake facts that lying scum used to sell his trash...those could be LOTS of fun!

Holy cow, Fat Man, I could go on FOREVER.

We've all gone mad.
The March Hare, Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat.
Welcome to Wonderland family and friends,
But if you're late the Queen will be off with your heads!
Down the rabbit hole with Alice you'll go, (alternate endings to rhyme below)
To the club house from one o'clock till four.
A Mad Hatters tea party is where you'll be.
With sandwiches, cookies, tarts and tea.
This way, that way, directions are attached,
If you get lost just ask the Mome Raths.
(DATE), please mark the day,
Remember, all ways are the Queens way.
So give us a call, don't make her mad,
Let us know if you can make it to Wonderland! (RSVP date and phone number)
ALTERNATE ENDINGS:
Down the rabbit hole with Alice you’ll:
Run (if the party ends @ one)
Shoo (if the party ends @ two)
Flee (if the party ends @ three)
Slide (if the party ends @ five) etc…
On the front of the envelopes you can print small clip art images of the Queen playing croquet and place it in the top left hand corner of the envelope. Where the flamingo croquet mallet is , place a small colored fuzzy pom pom representing the hedgehog.
In the middle of the envelope print off medium sized clip art images of a red card bent in half from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. On those , print the addresses to whom they were to be mailed out to.
Directions can be printed on the back of stationary. You can use casino night stationary, floral stationary or make your own with Alice in Wonderland clip art. Evite.com allows you to create your own invitations with your own images and pictures and it’s absolutely FREE! No catch. You can email your invitations to your guests.
MUSIC: purchase the soundtrack on ebay.
TABLEWARE:
This really isn’t complicated. Your local dollar store or wal-mart may have solid color plates and napkins. You can use pink and purple for the Cheshire cat or red and white for the queen of hearts. Wedding plates with roses on them or floral prints are great as well. The casino section of your party store may have plates with cards or card suits on them and sometimes online stores have Easter and Valentines day stuff on sale. Just make sure they don’t say Happy Easter or Happy Valentines Day on them. Incorporate more of the bunnies and plain hearts into your theme. Orientaltrading.com is great but your favorite online store is worth checking out. Trust me…people will get it.
FOOD
As the invitations said, sandwiches, cookies, tarts and tea. Use white rose (or any floral) garland. You can pick these up at dollar stores. Have each platter at a different height making the table visually appealing. ( Using different height boxes on the table use lavender (or any color fabric from the sale bin. Even paper cloths are fine) satin from the fabric store to cover the tops of the unattractive boxes.) Enlarge clip arts of the bread and butterflies and hang those above the table. On all the cookies with writers icing or home made write "Eat Me" and on all the plastic tea cups write Drink Me with a plastic pen (craft store).
Make mini sandwiches with white and wheat bread, PB&J for the kids cut in quarters ham and swiss for the adults or anything you’d like really.
CAKE
This cake is my FAVORITE! I took card suit cocktail stirrer sticks (if you can’t find these use paper, craft foam or felt and cut out the card suit heads and attach them to toothpicks.) and made them look like the cardsmens heads. I used white circular yard sale stickers and colored them with a flesh tone marker (You can keep them white if you wish). I made some happy faces and some scared faces. I stuck these in the middle of the card suits and snapped the stirrer sticks about 1/2 in. down from the top. Using a lighter I carefully melted the ends so as to not scratch the guests. I took Blue Bonnet snack cakes (vanilla square ones for $1.20 a box) and with Fondant icing (red and black)drew the card suits in the middle of them. You can use gingerbread house icing and dye one batch red and one batch black.
recipe: 1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tsp. cream of tartar
3 egg whites
Beat all ingredients until very stiff. Icing will harden as it sits, so add a few drops of water as needed. Place in piping bags or cut a very small corner off of a sandwich bag and use that with a steady hand. One bag for each color.
I took the card suit end of the cocktail stirrer and stuck it down the middle of each individual cake (long ways) so when they stood up they represented card guardsmen. Then I adhered (with white fondant icing)the bottom portion of the stirrer stick to one side of the "card cake" as a guardsmen stake. I made 40 of these and with fondant icing adhered them to a 13"x19" cake board with white fondant icing. (Again, the frosting recipe works great above) I lined them all up like an army and between the two stakes of the front guardsmen and had a paper Banner attached in the middle reading "Happy Birthday ______".







DECORATIONS
BUNNY TRACKS
?
http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/bunny_f…

Print these out, or copy them, and then cut them out. You can tape them onto your walkway leading to your front door, put them on the walls inside the party. They really are cute “White rabbit” trails.
In the background have the Disney Alice in Wonderland Soundtrack playing.
Alice in Wonderland yellow door craft:
?
Need: a large yellow piece of foam board or poster board, one round white Styrofoam floral ball, one cardboard toilet paper roll, black permanent marker, craft glue (but bottled school glue will do) and yellow paint (acrylic works well but poster paints ok)
CRAFT: Paint the toilet paper roll and Styrofoam ball with yellow acrylic paint and let dry. While this is drying, draw with a light pencil the outline of Alice’s door (above) MINUS THE DOOR KNOB. Once you have your outline perfect, trace your outline with a black permanent marker and color the key hole mouth in black as well. Once your painted items have dried, attach the foam ball to one end of the painted toilet paper roll and wait about 5 minutes for the glue to become tacky. Then glue the open end of the toilet paper roll where the door knob would go on the face. Hold this in place (or dry with a blow dryer) so that it doesn’t topple over. Attach this to your front door or to the entry of the party as this is how Alice enters wonderland.
CARD GUARDSMEN
Need: Two large white poster boards, red and black paint, two sheets white paper and two sheets of felt, foam, or poster board (one red and one black)
On one poster board draw a heart in the middle and paint red. On the other draw a spade and paint black. Cut out a large heart from the red sheet and a large spade from the black sheet to make the guard men’s heads. From the white sheet cut out a full circle for their faces. (face: eyes are two small smiles, black oval nose drawn long ways and the mouth can be a circle or a smiley face drawn in black marker.) Once your painted poster boards dry adhere the heads to the top of them matching the suits. Then glue the faces onto the card suit heads. Place these one on each side of the room or entry.
TABLES:
Line up your banquet tables in a row if that’s what you are using. Otherwise, this would work with individual round or square tables too. Lining them up creates the tea party table effect. Lay out pink table cloths. (This is the color of the table cloth in th tea party scene) If you have tea cups or pots place them sparingly down the middle of the tables. If you don’t have any, dollar stores always seem to have tea cups or coffee cups if nothing else. If you wish, you can fill the tea cups up with water and place one floating candle in them. (Tip: all wax floats. If you have tea lights, remove the candles from the tin and place the wax candle inside the tea cup) Tea light are inexpensive. About three dollars for a bag. Using red roses (or any cheap walmart or dollar store fake flower find), place two in a vase and line them down the middle. Small vases can also be purchased for under $2 each at walmart or dollar stores. You can use these anywhere. If using individual tables, the tea cups may be all you have room for. You can buy silk rose petals at your local craft store and sprinkle on the tables like confetti. Using poster or acrylic paints you can paint your white lanterns different colors. Paper lanterns can be found at orientaltrading.com. If you can’t come across any you can hang different color balloons upside down on a string OR you can make them. This is great for the kids to get in on too. Then hang them above your party tables like in the movie. TIP: For a more festive touch….string Christmas lights over head to hang the paper lanterns on instead of regular string. (provided that you can get to your Christmas décor this time of year)
PAPER LANTERNS:
Different color construction paper (or white paper is fine), tape, string and hole punch
Take your full sheet of paper and fold it in half (as if you were making a card). Cut the sheets in half on the crease. If using white paper you can color these with paint or decorate them however you wish although white lanterns are pretty as well. Roll each sheet individually just so that the ends touch and tape them together. (Each sheet of paper makes 2 lanterns) With your hole punch, punch the top of one open side. The first hole should be in the center with the other one directly across from it. Run string through the holes and hang from a longer string. You can also
