Instructions
1
Send invitations. Make them yourself or find online versions to print out and send. Invitations in the shape of a teapot or tea cup are eye-catching. Request that guests wear their nicest clothes to lend a formal tone to the party, and state the time and place.

Because a tea party is all about allowing kids to feel grown up, set the table with a table cloth and fancy dishes. A bouquet of flowers and individual place settings with place cards make guests feel special. If you are afraid of breaking grandma's china, buy cheaper versions at a discount store. A cup and saucer makes a nice take-home gift for kids after the party.
3
Along with tea -- or juice -- serve tiny sandwiches and fancy cakes or cookies. Bite-size foods allow the guests to sample many kinds.
4
Play games that are appropriate for a tea party, such as croquet, or set up a dance floor so guests can show off their fancy clothes. Girls in party dresses may enjoy putting on an impromptu fashion show.
