A Tea Party

June 15th, 2009 @ 2:20 pm by Mrs. Mascara

When my sister Dani and I were little, we used to spend hours playing tea party with my aunt. She would break out her best English accent and make up ridiculous names for us like “Mrs. Snodgrass” and “Miss Tiddlywink”. I’m pretty sure we were close to having water poisoning… we seriously drank SO much water out of our little pink plastic teacups! Sometimes I miss being a kid.

When I saw this Alice in Wonderland themed bridal shower on Project Wedding, I immediately thought of our days playing tea party. Seriously, how fun would it be to be a guest at this party? Everything is so whimsical and bright!

I’m definitely filing this one away in the inspiration folder, just in case I have to host a shower or girly party sometime soon!

What are some ways to really play up a “tea party” themed bridal shower?

:-) I love the stacked teacup centerpiece — and the three across from three set-up SO reminds me of Alice in Wonderland!

My MOH threw me an Alice in Wonderland tea party just like this. All the guests brought me a vintage tea cup as part of my gift so now I have a gorgeous collection of my own.

Very cute!

I love the pink and blue together- everyone says they are baby shower colors but here is proof that it can work! You just have to have context and balance…
I want someone to thow me this shower!

So beautiful! We’re doing a high tea party for my MOH’s bridal shower next month! We’re doing centrepieces of fresh cut flowers in tea tins, and we’re making a collection of fascinators and little hats so guests can pick out as they arrive. I’m so excited to make a tower of tea sandwiches (did I mention I’m a girly nerd?)

Love this, especially the watering can champagne ice buckets - I just went to a tea party bridal shower, we all had to wear hats. I miss my English scones with clotted cream and jam.

@sally: Me too! I always felt bad for her mother. “I love you honey, but Snodgrass, really? Sigh, ok. I’ll be Mrs. Snodgrass.”
