Since the weather outside is cold, why not warm up with some hot tea.
Did you know? January is National Hot Tea Month, however if you can’t have your tea party in January, any month is a great time to have a tea party.
There are so many different types of tea parties to have with your girls. Below I will share some great ideas to get you started.
Let’s start by sending invitations home with your girls. Allow them to invite an adult guest, to the tea party. This can be a mother, father, grandparent, aunt, etc. Invitations can be store bought or handmade by your girls. The choice is yours. The invitation should include whether guest need to dress up or wear casual clothing.
Then you have decorations and set up, below is just what I did at our tea party. I used different color table clothes, got place-mats that have activities on them and had crayons at table so when girls arrived they could do something waiting for others to get there.
If you are not sure on decorations it really depends on what type of party you want to have. Checkout a few of these ideas for themes for your tea party:
There are several options for your teapot. You can use the traditional tea kettles that whistle when they are hot. You also have the option to use an electric tea kettle then pour it into a teapot, when it is hot. Depending on the size of your group, will determine how many teapots you will need.
There are several options for your teacups. You can ask the girls in your troop and their guest, to bring in a teacup (saucer is optional). If your’e not having your tea party for awhile you can pick up tea cups at garage sales, etc.
Rather not do hot tea? I know with younger girls sometimes there is fear of using the hot tea could burn their tongues. Then customize it and make iced tea to drink. You can get cute Tea cups that hold cold beverages from oriental trading.
The tea flavors should be limited to 3 to 4 choices. At least one fruit tea is a good option when having a tea party with younger girls because many are picky. Make sure to have sugar cubes, milk, and artificial sweetener on hand for everyone to use if desired. Of course all that will depend on if you are doing cold or hot teas.
Food Ideas: Finger sandwiches such as chicken salad, egg salad, tuna are some ideas to serve at the party. Some other ideas are cookies, cupcakes, small desserts and fruits salad. Silver, glass or tiered serving trays will make your food look even more delicious.
Place several tea cups on a table. Players stand behind a line and throws tea bags into the tea cups. They receive 1 point for each tea bag that goes into the cup. The player with the most points wins.
Place a sugar cube on a spoon and carry it to the end of the line and place in a cup. If it is dropped on the floor they have to return to the starting line and try again. It can be an individual or relay race.
Have several boxes of sugar cubes. Set the timer for 2 minutes. Stack sugar cubes as high as they can before the timer goes off. The tallest sugar cube stack wins.
As you all know as leaders there are so many fun patch ideas out there for events like this one. I wanted to share 3 that I loved and wanted to share them with you. Pick the one that best fits your event or search the web for something different. If you find one that you think other leaders would love send it my way and I can add it to this post.
