Tips for Planning a Successful Easter Tea Party

Invitations

To start off, you’ll need to send out invitations to your guests. You can create your own invitations with an Easter theme, or purchase pre-made ones online or at a party store. Make sure to include the date, time, and location of the party, as well as any special instructions, such as whether guests should dress up in Easter attire.

Decorations

Next, you’ll want to set the scene for a fun Easter tea party with colorful decorations. You can use pastel colors, Easter eggs, bunny rabbits, and flowers to create a festive atmosphere. You can also set up a table with a cute Easter-themed tablecloth and place settings for each guest.

Menu

For the menu, you can serve a variety of kid-friendly tea sandwiches, such as peanut butter and jelly, turkey and cheese, or cucumber and cream cheese. You can also serve Easter-themed snacks such as bunny-shaped cookies or chocolate eggs. Don’t forget to offer a variety of teas, such as herbal, fruit, or decaf options. To make it more fun for the kids, you can have a tea party game where they get to choose their own tea and pretend to be a fancy tea party guest.

Easter Craft Ideas

To keep the kids entertained, you can set up a craft station where they can decorate Easter eggs, make bunny ears, or create Easter cards. This is a great way to get everyone involved and add a personal touch to the party.

Games

You can organize fun games such as egg hunts or a bunny hop relay race. You can also have an Easter-themed trivia game with questions about Easter traditions and history. This will keep everyone engaged and add some friendly competition to the party.

Party Favors

Finally, you can send the kids home with a small Easter-themed party favor, such as a bag of jelly beans, a small stuffed bunny, or a decorated egg. This is a great way to thank your guests for coming and ensure that they leave with a little something to remember the party by.

Tea Pots, Cups and Saucers, and More

If you are looking for ‘real China,’ you can see above the perfect set.  Every guest can have their own color pattern.  The tea pot goes perfectly with these real cups or the paper cups.  The tea pot holds 4 cups, however, for most tea parties, you can add apple juice to the tea pot to look like tea.  Depending on the size of your party, you may need to refill this pot a few times or grab 2 pots.

Tea pot party favors will be a hit of the party.  Kids will be so excited to take home their ‘own tea pot.’

Planning for crafts during the party is a great idea.  Here are few crafts that won’t get too messy. 

Bunny Decorating Kits

Easter egg hunts are fun, but have you ever thought about hiding rubber duckies or mini bunnies?  This would be a cute hunt and find game.

An epic menu for the occasion will be one to remember.  Finding kid friendly foods with a unique touch is a great element.  You can also turn the tea into a cook and serve tea party by having the kids help with their menu items before going to the tea table. Here are some fun ideas.

What about the Tea?

Most young kids would likely rather drink apple juice or flavored water and pretend it was tea.  However, if you have a pre-teen group or a teen group, they might want to try their hand at a flavored tea.  If so, think about keeping something to sweeten the tea and spoons.  Honey is a great compliment to tea.  Let the tea cool a little before serving, you want to make sure that it is warm but not hot.

In conclusion, an Easter tea party can be a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. By following these tips, you can plan a successful party that everyone will enjoy. Remember to include plenty of decorations, tasty food and drinks, crafts, games, and party favors to make it a memorable event. Happy Easter!
