Tea parties are a great idea for birthdays or for a simple get-together for girls and their friends. Girls love the idea of a party where they can dress up in tutu skirts and other costumes to have tea and cookies with friends in a decorated and imaginative setting. Decorating and setting up a tea party does not have to cost a lot of money, but can make the difference in creating a fun and exciting experience for the party attendees.
Costume ideas
The Alice in Wonderland theme is popular for tea parties. Some of the costumes may include tutu skirts, butterfly wings, top hats, and rabbit ears. Children might also dress up as different animals like rabbits or cats to match the story theme.
Tutu skirts can be combined with various other costume add-ons such as rabbit ears and butterfly wings. There is no such thing as a perfect way to dress up for an Alice in Wonderland tea party, so be creative and have fun with the costume choices.
Decorating
The decoration theme should be based on a sort of random and creative design that mimics the Mad Hatter tea party. Decorations might include paper lanterns, various teapots with different colored saucers, and “odd” furniture. The theme typically involves a lot different colors, so as many variations of color as possible can be used for the best effect.
A chess set might be put out with the board and pieces scattered about. Another idea is to decorate walls or other areas with large playing cards. Fake or real flowers are a great addition, and smaller playing cards can be used to decorate flower vases.
Other ideas
Playing the soundtrack from the Alice in Wonderland animated movie sets the musical scene. Food and drink ideas can be as simple as cookies and punch, or slightly more elaborate Cheshire cat, top hat, and clock-shaped cookies with decorative frosting. Gift bags filled with stickers, candy, small mirrors, or toy jewelry make great party favors.
Be Creative
There are many ways to go about decorating and dressing up for the party. Costumes can be as simple as tutu skirts or as elaborate as rabbit and cat-themed costumes. The most important thing is to have fun with the design and preparation of a Wonderland-themed tea party and let your imagination take care of the fine details.

There’s nothing little girls love more than playing dress up, so when it’s time for your little one’s birthday, why not throw a ballerina party? This girl’s-only affair would require attendants dress up in tights, tutu skirts, ballet slippers and anything else with ruffles or frills.
Of course, there’s more to ballerina parties than tutu skirts. In fact, you’ll need to take a few things into consideration during the planning stage. For instance, when and where will the party take place? How many parents will be able to chaperone? How many children will be in attendance?
Once you’ve answered these vital questions, you can move onto some of the more fun aspects of party planning. For instance, consider the sort of decorations you’ll need to purchase or even make to give the party all of the tutu skirt frilliness it needs. Consider buying some pink tulle at a local craft store and hanging it up around the room or around the backyard. Buy plastic party cups in white, pink or black with party plates to match. And don’t forget the napkins! Little kids are messy, so have plenty for cleanup.
Consider the foods that will be served. If this is a birthday party, make sure the cake is completely decked out in the ballet theme. Other foods should just be simple and tailored for kids. Hamburgers and hot dogs always work.
Buy the tutu skirts, and decorate the area with tulle. The children can have fun dancing and twirling around feeling like little princesses.
In the end, have fun when planning a ballerina party and remember: your kids will have fun, no matter what!

A butterfly birthday party is a perfect idea for a little girl. You can create a magical birthday party with a fun butterfly theme that she will never forget with these fun creative ideas.
Get Ready to Flutter
Begin by stocking up on all the necessary birthday party supplies – plates, napkins, balloons – all with a butterfly theme. Check your local dollar store for these supplies at a fraction of the cost of other places. Then get your invitations ready. Cut out butterfly-shaped cards the size of a post card, and let your child decorate them with stickers. Tape the actual party invitation to the back on one side, and then mail it off.
Butterfly Decorations
Draw and cut out large butterflies from poster board. Color and decorate the butterflies and hang them from the ceiling. Make large flowers to tape to the walls. Decorate the tables and walls with pastel-colored crepe paper and balloons. For a table centerpiece, fill a large vase with colorful flowers, and add tiny butterflies to the flowers. Butterfly magnets make great place holders the kids can take home.
Butterfly Party Activities
A fun activity for your butterfly birthday party would be to make coffee filter butterflies. You need a clothespin, coffee filters and markers. Have the kids color sections of the coffee filters. Spritz them with water, and the colors will run together. Let them dry, and then pinch the middle of the flat coffee filter and push it up into the clothespin so that two wings seem to puff out. Add wiggly eyes and chenille stem antennae.
You could also cut out wings that are large enough for the party guests in advance. Use paper bags, and cut wings from the large sides of the bags. Tape them together, and punch holes near where the wings meet so you can tie the wings on the children. Then, the guests can paint designs on the wings, and you can attach the wings to the children’s backs so they can fly around.
Butterfly Birthday Cake – It’s Easy to Do
Bake a round cake according to the directions on the cake mix box. Cut the cake in half. Turn the two halves around on the cookie sheet so that the round sides touch in the middle and the wider, flat edges are pointing out. You can leave it like this, or trim the rounded edges for a more triangular look. Ice the cake in pastel colors, pipe an icing body down the middle, add licorice antennae and you have a beautiful butterfly cake. Pastel-colored ice cream completes the party.
Party Food
Everyday food becomes fun when you give it a new name and add a twist. Try serving these fun foods at your butterfly party.
Butterfly Nector – Combine equal parts apricot nectar (in the juice aisle) and 7-Up. Float rainbow sherbet on top.
Butterfly Jewel Sandwiches – Make jelly sandwiches in a variety of colors. Use flavors such as grape, strawberry and peach. Remove crusts and cut in half on the diagonal. Place sandwiches on a small plate with the wide side facing out like wings. Add a baby carrot in the middle for the wings, raisins for eyes and licorice for wings. “Glue” in place with small dabs of jelly or icing.
Garden Goodies – Celery sticks, baby carrots, mini tomatoes and tiny radishes along with dip are the perfect accompaniment to this part.
Goody Bags to Go
Send the kids home with goody bags decorated with butterflies. Include items in the bag such as butterfly-shaped toys, butterfly and flower stickers or a small book on butterflies. Wrap up your party by having your child send out butterfly-themed thank-you notes.

Butterfly Invitations
You can use a large colorful picture of a butterfly for your butterfly birthday party invitations. Make photocopies and cut out the invitations. Include your party details on the butterfly wings.
The wording of your butterfly birthday invitations can say: “Butterflies are pretty and fly so free – come to (name of your child)’s 6th (7th, etc.) birthday tea. There will be games to play and wings to make. We will enjoy a butterfly cake. So dress up as pretty as you can be, and join the fun at (name of your child)’s Butterfly Tea.” Then include all your butterfly birthday party details.
You can make butterfly party invitations more personal. Draw (with a help of your child) a butterfly on the front of the invitation card (make sure the butterfly is big enough). Then make color copies of your picture for the rest of the invitations. Write the above wording inside you invitations and mail.
Butterfly Decorations
You can create a special atmosphere with your butterfly party decorations.
 Decorate a gate (or any other area in front of your house) with a banner “The Butterfly Birthday Party is Here!” Tie balloons (mylar butterfly balloons are best) to pinwheels, and then stick the pinwheels in the ground by the walkway leading to your house. Have colorful paper streamers everywhere around your backyard.
Hang nylon butterflies on strings from the ceiling inside the house. Place any butterfly related toys (e.g. flowers, bugs, etc.) around the butterfly birthday party area. Attach butterfly posters to the walls for colorful effect.
Cover your table with table cover with mini butterflies on it. You can attach colorful ribbons to flower pots, and have one or two of them for table centerpiece.
Tie a large butterfly mylar balloon to birthday child’s seat. Make a huge banner “Happy Birthday (Your child’s name)!”, and hang it by the table area.
Butterfly Favors
 For your butterfly party favors you can have such items as butterfly stickers, bean bags, butterfly hair clips, sunglasses, toy butterflies, flower seeds, gummy caterpillars, and butterfly shaped rings.
Butterfly Birthday Cake
Butterfly Cake: Bake 9″ round cake and one cupcake.
Cut cake in half. Place curved edges of the cut halves side by side. This should resemble butterfly wings. Frost the cake with white icing and decorate it with candies and gumdrops.
Place the cupcake above “the wings” to resemble butterfly’s head. Place licorice for antennae and gumdrops for eyes.
Butterfly Food Ideas
- Butterfly Bagels: Slice bagels in half. Split the halves again in the middle resulting in four half circles per bagel.
- Butterfly Sandwich: Cut bread in the form of butterfly wings. Add a celery stick body, cherry tomato and carrot stick antennae. Put veggie pieces on the bread for “spots”.
- Butterfly Treats: Cut celery into small pieces. Fill them with peanut butter, cream cheese or other spread. Put a pretzel on each side of the celery to form wings. Use broken pretzel pieces for antennae and raisins for eyes.
- Caterpillar Gelatin: Prepare gelatin according to directions on the package. Add gummy worms – so every gelatin cube has a caterpillar. And then refrigerate.

If your child loves butterflies, give her a party that centers on her favorite insect. Let the guest of honor participate with planning, choosing treats for the party favor bags, activities and cupcake centerpiece or butterfly cake. Make this a celebration that guests will say was over much too soon.
Invitations
 Pass out or mail colorful invitations in the shape of butterflies with information on date, time and place of the party. Attach or include a magnetic butterfly to keep the invitation posted on the refrigerator as a reminder and let the birthday child decorate the envelopes with butterfly stamps.
Party Decorations
Cover the party table with butterfly-themed paper table cloths or a few yards of fabric printed with colorful butterflies. Table decorations include butterfly-shaped paper plates and butterfly-printed cups and napkins. Place cone-shaped butterfly printed hats and attach a butterfly-themed balloon at each chair at the table. Wall decorations can also include giant butterflies, butterfly streamers and nylon butterflies suspended from the ceiling. If the party is held at home, decorate the front door with a butterfly party door cover.
Party Favors
Create party favor bags with butterfly-themed goodies such as butterfly sunglasses, sun catchers, butterfly jewelry kits, rings and necklaces, butterfly wings, butterfly shaped lollipops, butterfly wands, temporary butterfly tattoos, fans and little butterfly bottles of bubbles. The guest of honor can hand the favor bags to each guest as they leave to go home at the end of the party. Have the guest of honor dress up in a beautiful butterfly costume which includes butterfly wings, butterfly tutu skirt and a butterfly fairy wand.
Refreshments
Place decorated cupcakes with pastel colored frosting on a tiered serving tray with butterfly candle toppers as the centerpiece guests will enjoy last. Serve finger foods such as “Caterpillars in a blanket” (hot dog halves wrapped in a biscuit) with dipping sauce like ketsup or mustard and “Butterfly Pizza” (pizza cut with butterfly cookie cutter).
Activities
Have a few craft projects ready for young guests to make. These include a Butterfly Life Cycle art kit with embellishments, painting ceramic butterfly pots, decorating giant butterflies with stickers, making butterfly magnets or coloring fuzzy butterfly pictures. Add a little physical activity with a butterfly piñata filled with candy and treats guests can swing at with a stick.

Bouncy and bright! Balloons and flowers are the theme for this backyard birthday party.
Nestled in the clearing of any backyard is a birthday-girl’s dream garden: A lawn-blanket meadow grows in the center; colorful balloon blossoms, Botanicus rubberous, line its borders, and the sweet fragrance of cupcakes fills the air. A floral-themed birthday party features all of these delights, and it isn’t difficult or expensive to pull off.
Invitation How-To
Hint at the party’s theme with balloon invitations. To make, punch six holes in a store bought card — one in the center and five surrounding it. Starting at the center, weave a long balloon through the holes; tie them off inside the card and trim excess. Thread a green balloon through four punched holes to make a stem and leaf.
Flower Balloon How-To
These giant balloon blooms are easy for a parent to make. You’ll need regular 5-, 11-, or 16-inch round balloons. Fill them with regular air or with helium (rent a tank for this). Before you attempt to make balloon art with helium-filled balloons, it’s a good idea to practice on ones filled with ordinary air, so any slip-ups won’t fly away. Don’t blow up the balloons fully; leaving a little slack will keep them flexible enough to turn and twist without popping. To tie off balloons, pinch the necks with one hand; with the other hand, pull the neck of the balloon to stretch it, wrap it around two of your fingers, and pull the end through to make a knot. If you can, make at least one flower for every guest, since the kids will surely want to take them home.
1. For the petals, you will need five balloons that are the same color and size. Inflate the balloons, comparing each to the first one so they match in size. If you are using helium, place the balloons in a plastic bag held under a table so they won’t float away.
2. Tie two of the balloons together: Stretch their knotted necks to make them easier to tie. There’s no need to knot them tightly, since they will naturally hold together as you manipulate them around. Set aside.
3. Next, tie the remaining three inflated balloons together: First tie two of them together as described in step 2, then tie on the third.
4. Join the two balloon clusters: Push the pair into the set of three so the necks wrap around each other.
5. Lock the two clusters together by rotating the necks of the balloons around each other several times until secure. Don’t worry about the balloons popping. They’re more durable than you might think. Set the petals aside.
6. For the center, inflate two balloons of a different color; use balloons that are the same size as the ones used to make the petals, but fill them with less air so they are slightly smaller. Tie the two balloons together.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to insert the two balloons into the prepared cluster. Arrange the petals around the centers, twisting balloons several times to lock them all together.
8. Be sure the two balloons that make up the center are positioned correctly; the cluster should look like a flower whether viewed from the back or the front.
9. Wrap nylon string around the center of the cluster several times, changing direction to keep balloons well bound. To finish, pull one end of the string between two of the petals and cut off the other end. This will keep the flowers floating upright.
10. If using helium, tie the end of the string to a weight, such as a rock, or to a garden stake that you can plant in the grass. If using air, hang the balloon flowers from overhead.
Favor How-To
For favors, fill pails (available at party-supply stores) with candy and give each a paper daisy with a lollipop poked through its center.

 Throwing a little girl party is fun. Girls love to have parties and hand out invitations to their friends. They also like to have goodies to give to their friends that attend the party, so you’ll want goody bags and these are generally done in the theme of the party. So now you have to decide with the help of your little lady what kind of party she will be having, whether it be for her birthday or just a fun girls day. Here are some ideas:
Little Girl Party Idea 1: Princess Party
Princess Parties are always a hit. Get some inexpensive little crowns and some pretend makeup for the girls that will be attending this party that is designed for four to ten year old’s. There are some things you will need for this party and each girl will get to dress up as a princess to go with the theme. The girls can do each others hair and wear little crowns. During the princess party you can have a parade with your princesses and have them dance.
Little Girl Party Idea 2: Tea Party
Tea Parties are a lot of fun and can be incorporated into birthday parties as well. You will need a tea set (you can actually have tea if you like). If your child is around four or so then a tea party with their teddy bears and dolls will be nice for them. (They can have friends over with their teddy bears too just make sure you have enough room for them to sit.) You will needs some gloves, hats and costume jewelry for the girls that are going to attend. The table can have flowers in the center or a teapot for this party.
Little Girl Party Idea 3: Pajama Party
Pajama Party Pajama parties are a great alternative for girls that are not old enough for sleepover yet. The girls all arrive in their pajamas and get to play various party games. These parties only last for a few hours so some small snacks and simple games are sufficient since these are normally limited to three or four children.
Little Girl Party Idea 4: Slumber Party
Slumber parties are typically better for girls over the age of eight. These will last all night so be prepared. A movie for them to watch depending on their age is good for keeping them calm for a few hours. Junk food is the normal path taken here. Although you might like to give the guest the option of fruit as well to keep them from ending up with tummy aches in the end because while they may not want to you are going to want them to go to sleep.
These are some of the most basic party ideas for little girls. When planning a party for your little girl it is important to plan far enough in advance that you know what you are in for before the big day. There are some things such as inviting the guest that has to be done in advance. You can either purchase or make invitations for you child to give to those she is inviting that are based on the theme. These can be as simple as card stock with a design for the party placed on them.
Decorations are needed for parties as well. The decorations will be dependent on the theme as to whether or not you have streamers, posters or whatever you choose to decorate with.
Little Girl Party Idea 5: Buggerific Party
My family and I just celebrated my daughters 3rd birthday! We arranged to have our party outdoors. One game we played towards the end of our party, which the children enjoyed playing a Scavenger Hunt for Bugs! We scattered large bugs all over our yard, lady bugs, crickets, centipedes, any kind of toy bug I can pick up from local stores, hiding them in the grass, by the trees, on bushes! The toy bugs also decorated our backyard for the entire party! Another game pass the bumble bee around when the music stops you’ve been stung! You can pick up at any local store an insect of your choice.
Decorate your area with butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs and bees go to Bugs-n-Blooms for beautifully made bugs! They are so beautiful you may want to keep them up in your child’s play area or bedroom!
