How to Make Your Own Invitations for a Mother's Day Tea

Make your own invitations, inviting Mom to a Mother's Day Tea.

Your Sunday School class, classroom at school, or some other group would like to host a Mother's Day Tea. Do you want to make your own invitations, but can't think of any great ideas to do so?

Discover an easy way to make your own invitations. It will be a hit from the moment Mom receives the invite.

Things You'll Need

• Construction Paper
• Printable Tea Pot and Cup
• Tea Bags
• Marker
• Colors
• Glue
• Tape (optional)

Instructions

1. 

   Print off a tea pot and cup coloring sheet (see resources for link). You will need one copy per child.

   Ask all members of the group to color the tea pot and cup just as mom would like. After coloring, have children cut out the two, to make their own invitations.

2. 

   Use a piece of pink construction paper. Fold in half, short ways. Glue the tea cup on front and save the pot for the inside. Make your own invitations by having children write "You're Invited" above the cup on the front.

3. Write a jingle. After you finish the front, open the card. On the left hand side, write a cute little invitation poem or jingle, such as:

   Warm and sweet
   Just like mom
   Our tea wouldn't be the same
   Unless you come!

   Fill in the date, time, and place of the Mother's Day Tea. Make sure you send a slip asking for replies, because you don't want that one child to not have someone there to celebrate with.

4. 

   Glue the tea pot in. After writing in the jingle and details, now comes the fun part to make your own invitations.

   Have students glue the tea pot on the right hand side of the card (inside.) Do not glue the top part of the tea pot, where the top is located. Allow to dry.

5. 

   Cut the tea pot top off. Use one tea bag and tape or glue. Tape the tea bag tag just above the tea pot, where the top is supposed to be.

   Glue or tape the top back on and allow to dry. There is now a tea bag dangling on the pot for Mom to make herself a cup before the party.
