Tuesday, February 13, 2024


Are you looking for a fun and unique way to celebrate your little girl's birthday? A  dress-up tea party might be just the theme you're looking for if you have a little one who loves getting fancy! This charming and girly theme is perfect for little ones who love to play dress up and sip "tea" like royalty. Read on for tips on how to throw a dress-up tea party that your daughter and her friends will never forget!


Invitations: 

Start by sending out the perfect invitation to set the tone for your party. Our Girls Dress Up Birthday Party Invitations featuring a floral teapot design are easy to personalize and beautiful to look at! With its vintage charm and customizable details, your guests will be excited to attend! 

You can choose from three colorways: a classic floral bouquet, a bright and fun coral teapot, or an elegant, soft pink and lavender design

Add any details you'd like to include into the custom text box! Some ideas to personalize your party:
  •  Ask your guests to wear their fanciest dresses, or dress in a themed outfit to fit your event. 
  • Encourage guests to bring along dress up clothes to share. 
  • Everyone will love bringing along a favorite stuffy or doll to join the tea party! 

After your invitations are personalized, they're ready to order! If you're in a hurry, digital downloads are also available for purchase to save time. Go paperless and send your invites immediately by email or text! (And for those who need physical cards, you can order as many or as few as you need - there's no minimum limit.)  

Decorations: 

For a dress-up tea party, you'll want to create a fancy and whimsical atmosphere. 
Hang matching bunting or use a garland made of lace or tulle around the party area. Welcome guests with a personalized sign. Use pretty tea cups and saucers as part of your decor.  Your tea party table can be full of fun finger foods and cute table signs that relate to the tea party theme! 

Food and Drinks: 

For tea party snacks, serve bite-sized sandwiches, scones, or petit fours on pretty tiered trays. Personalized cake pops, cookies, or candies can make your table, and the birthday girl, feel extra special. Don't forget to offer a variety of  kid-friendly drink options, like lemonade, juice, or soda, as they are unlikely to actually enjoy tea. Spruce up your table setting with personalized plates, cups, or fancy place cards with guests names written on them! These cute personalized mugs can double as party favors! 


Dress-Up Station: 

Set up a dress-up station with plenty of accessories like hats, scarves, and jewelry for your guests to choose from. You can also add a DIY element with a fun craft activity like decorating their own party hats or making their own bead bracelets.
Another great idea is to set up a small photo booth area with fun props and a backdrop for some memorable photos! 


Party Favors: 
Send your guests home with the cutest party favors so they can remember what a fabulous time they had!  Some great ideas to include are: a dress-up t-shirt or accessory, a bag of homemade cookies with a cute matching label or thank you tag, or these adorable matching drink mixes (they come in cocoa and lemonade as well as tea).
