From the age of three throughout elementary school, tea parties are very popular with girls. Although a generalized tea party can be thrown, many girls prefer a celebration with a tea party theme. Here are some tips for tea party planning.
Princess Tea Party
The most popular theme for young girls is that of a princess tea party. When choosing invitations, make sure they reflect the theme. An invitation that looks like a crown is perfect for this type of tea party. Have guests dress in their fancy dresses and provide each girl with a crown when she arrives. Inexpensive crowns can be found at dollar type stores as well as party type stores.
Disney Princess Tea Party
While some girls are happy with a standard princess tea party, others prefer a Disney tea party. This theme could allow for girls to come as their favorite Disney princess. Throughout the years Disney has provided many memorable princesses that little girls look up to. Suggested princesses that guests can dress up as include:
- Cinderella
- Belle
- Rapunzel
- Mulan
- Tiana
- Pocahontas
- Ariel
- Aurora
- Snow White
- Jasmine
Due to economic times, not every young girl can afford a princess costume. An alternative idea is to just have everyone dress up and bring an item that represents their favorite Disney princess. This could be in the form of a doll, accessory, DVD or even a simple picture.
Tea Party Themes
Of course, not all girls are into princesses. Fortunately, there are many other tea party themes to be considered. Due to Tinkerbell and the popular book series, Disney Fairies, which includes book titles such as The Trouble with Tink, Vidia and the Fairy Crown, and Rani In the Mermaid Lagoon, a fairy tea party or Tinkerbell party theme could make for a successful girls tea party.
Hello Kitty is popular for this age range and could be a fun theme for a girls tea party. Another suggestion is to have a teddy bear tea party whereas guests bring along their favorite teddy bear to the party. Pre-make guest seating cards for the girls attending, but allow them to make place cards for their stuffed animals after they arrive. Additional ideas for a girls tea party include Dora and Barbie themes.
A tea party for girls can be great for a birthday celebration or just for fun. A tea party theme can make the celebration even more special. When planning a tea party, be sure that the entire party reflects the theme including invitations, decorations, activities and thank you cards.
