Decorating ideas for
and fun and unique DIY ideas for the
Alice in Wonderland themed tea party decoration ideas:.
A good start for an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday is a table to eat at!
Use a white tablecloth with cards and hearts taped to it.
Scattering confetti also makes it look nice and glittery for that extra touch.
As for teapots, teacups, plates and cutlery - it has to be mismatched!
Instead of a knife and fork, use a spoon and a spoon or a fork and spoon. One of the boys at the party got two spoons, he didn't look too happy but took it all in good humor, and everyone had a giggle. To give the napkins an Alice in Wonderland theme, get red ones and cut hearts out.
We also bought really small teacups and everyone found it funny (and frustrating!) to have to constantly pour in more iced tea after one gulp.
If anyone at the party is exceptionally good at photography, maybe get a few disposable cameras and get them to help out with taking photos of the party!
Around the table, make sure the chairs are all odd so everyone has to sit at different heights, just for giggles.
For some magical-looking decorations, be sure to hang lots of colourful streamers, playing cards all over the walls and hang up some signs that say "This way", "That way", "Up", "Down", "Mad Hatter", "March Hare" etc.
Get creative and create your own unique cake stands by gluing odd plates, cups and saucers. Be sure to add "Drink Me" labels to teapots and bottles!
Not Alice-In-Wonderland enough? Buy silk roses and stick googly eyes on them!
Everyone thought they were funny and they were a great hit.
Attach big, artificial butterflies to the walls and from the ceiling. Lanterns also make a nice finish.
Turn the ceiling into a magical rabbit hole like we did with a plush rabbit jumping down into Wonderland. Get a black piece of cardboard and cut out a large circle. Stick it to the ceiling with the rabbit following. Everyone thought it was hilarious!
Create an Alice in Wonderland garden picnic feel with a lot (and we mean A LOT) of tissue paper flowers. They're absolutely gorgeous, especially if you put red colored hearts on the white flowers. Drawing them on with red marker is also a fun way to do it.
Tie a few tissue paper flowers to actual plants and put them in the corners for a creative twist!
Another fun idea instead of streamers would be to inflate balloons with helium, or maybe put up a banner saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE". Confetti would also be a cute and fun addition.
You could put a party hat and party blower near each of the teacups for each guest. We did this, but with lollies instead. Everyone was on a sugar high for the entire party.
A good decoration would be a cutout, like the Cheshire Cat smile or the Suites like we had. Of course, don't forget the yard sign (we had TO WONDERLAND upside down on the fence).
A great idea for the entrance would be to get a small kiddie tunnel and make them crawl through it to Wonderland! If that isn't possible, then put flamingos at the entrance.
For indoors, try and get some fake grass to really make it seem like a garden.

A few decorating ideas might not have used but would be lots of fun for smaller children:
String fairy lights around doorways or chairs for a pretty effect if the party is later in the day, and put a few clocks around, all stopped at tea-time. You could also print out (or draw) a picture of the cheshire cat smile and have that on a wall facing all the guests.
Favor Bags:
Say "Thank you" in a fun and unique way. Fill an inexpensive tea cup (thrift store) with small items like lip gloss, nail polish, lollies and a small deck of cards!

ICE BREAKER GAMES:
Secret Sticker
For this fun activity, all the guests are given a sheet of stickers and must get rid of them by secretly putting them on other guests. If caught they must take one of the stickers from the party guest who caught them. Only stick one sticker at a time - first one rid of their stickers wins! Use stickers from your birthday party theme.
Cooperative Musical Chairs
This is a fun version of musical chairs. For this game set up a circle of chairs with one less chair than the number of birthday party guests. Play music as the guests circle around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone has to have a seat. Unlike the traditional game, the person that is left standing isn't out, instead, someone else has to make room on their chair! Take away another chair and start the music again. The kids end up on one another's laps and sharing chairs - it's really fun!
Egg Carpet
Spread out a newspaper on the floor like a red carpet and put 10 or so eggs on the paper. Randomly choose a guest and give them 30 seconds to memorise where the eggs are. After that 30 seconds, blindfold them and tell them they have to walk across it without stepping on any of the eggs. Everyone else has to quietly take the eggs off the newspaper. This game was really fun and everyone played along well, screaming at random times as if the guest was about to step on an egg.
Swap
At random moments, announce that all the guests have to move down a seat or swap chairs.
About MePass a roll of toilet paper around, telling the guests to take as many sheets as they think they'll need. When it's gone around the entire table, explain that they have to say one thing about themselves for each sheet of toilet paper.
We hope you have fun with your very own Alice in Wonderland birthday party!
