PartySavvy: Tea Party

Kids will be tipping over and pouring out with delight over this sweet-as-sugar birthday Tea Party.

Pull out the good china and cut the Lemon and Raspberry Birthday Cake or pass your partygoers some Teacup Birthday Cupcakes. For something sweet but not cakey, these Chocolate Marshmallow Pops will have them ‘spouting’ with joy. And for a little-less-sweet treat, try our Sugar Scones.

But it’s not all about the sweets. No tea party is complete without the classic tea sandwich with the crusts cut off. Kids will love Cucumber with Cream Cheese Tea Sandwiches and Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches served with a side of healthy and yummy Veggie and Hummus Pots. Quench their thirst with some Lemonade with Herbed Ice Cubes. And of course, serving a proper tea at any tea party is a must.

Turn your dining room into a perfect English parlour with these easy decor ideas, including tissue paper flower toppers.

A tea party doesn’t have to be all prim and proper—get a little messy and plant a pot of flowers, have a teacup egg race or get creative with some costume jewellery necklaces to wear for the occasion.

They’ll be filled to the brim with happiness, if you send the girls off with their own tea set or the boys home with these adorable top hats.

So get a handle on your child’s next birthday with our great ideas from this month’s Tea Party—it may not be short and it may not be stout but the last thing you’ll see afterwards is a pout.
