Does anyone have any ideas for a 7 year old tea party? It's my little sister's birthday next week and she wants a little tea party themed one, and so my mom and I are pulling it together.
So far we have.....
Food:
Little mini finger sandwiches
Mini cupcakes
Decorations:
A little vase of flowers in front of every girl (for them to take home), pink flowers all over the room, pink streamers, old fashioned looking tea pots and tea cups (one tea cup for every girl to bring home)...
Games:
A scavenger hunt. At the end they'll find their tea cups and other little prizes to bring home.
A pinata of course.
Anyways, does anyone have any cute little-girl-friendly recipes for a tea party? Any game ideas? Any more awesome decoration ideas?
You ladies are always sooo creative.
When you love someone, you can tell. When you're in love with someone, everyone else can tell.

Re: 7 year old girls tea party ideas
A pink and grey tea party inspiration blog post?
Mary Poppins tea party?
A butterfly tea?
Alice in Wonderland?
A princess tea party?
Haha you can tell that I like reading planning blogs.
Food ideas, veggies and dip, fruit, petit fours, hot cocoa or iced tea (like pps mentioned, kids don't really like tea).
As far as food goes, I can mostly think of sweet things, but little anything is awesome. Petit-fours look awesome, cookies or some sort of bread (banana, cranberry, whatever). And I love the iced tea idea, so they feel like they're getting tea, but real tea is too bitter for little kids.
sister2groom: my little sister REALLY wants a pinata. haha, so no taking that away or there would be a big issue...
And Bren, wow, those blogs are pretty intense tea parties! Thanks!
When I think of little girls tea parties, I think of them dressed up in mom's clothes and acting very grown up; maybe play some "old fashioned" type music in the background. Crackers and cheese (thinking lunchable type things) would be good munchies as well. Crystal light (and the house brands) have some really good iced tea flavors (and you cut out the sugar, too), so they could try one or all of them even (I know I've had lemon, peach and raspberry flavored).
Have fun!

LOL not if you make it right! I don't know what kind of tea you drank growing up, but I was always a tea drinker. It was never "bitter" for me!
There are a ton of great flavored teas out there. Bigelow makes sweet flavors like blueberry, vanilla caramel, cherry, pomegranate, orange. Now, my favorite tea, Russian Gunpowder, <em>that's</em> too bitter!
How about painting mugs as an activity? You can get plain white mugs and pottery paints at craft stores. I think to set them, they just need to be put in the oven. Here's an example: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4438279">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4438279</a>
As for food, how about some sliced fruit and scones and mini muffins? Also a cake in the shape of a teacup? <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.parents.com/fun/birthdays/themes/tea-time-birthday-party/?page=2">http://www.parents.com/fun/birthdays/themes/tea-time-birthday-party/?page=2</a>
