Pretty Princess Tea Party Ideas

Presentation is important when you are using princess tea party ideas, but it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Start off by decorating a table, preferably kid-size if possible, with a pretty cloth or paper tablecloth. Use cheerful colors such as pink, purple or yellow. An easy way to decorate the tablecloth is to use glitter glue pens, creating fun designs. If the children are old enough you might try enlisting their help in decorating the tablecloth. You could also decorate it using sponge painting and then sprinkling glitter on the wet paint. Of course, you will need to account for drying time so be sure to decorate the tablecloth ahead of time.

Set a small vase or bowl on the table and put some fresh flowers in it. There is nothing more gentile or lovely than flowers to decorate a ladies tea party table.

Get a Princess Tea Party Set

Tea party sets are the perfect accessory to use with Princess Tea party ideas. Fancy plates and teacups are always appealing to little girls. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on china. Great bargains can be found at secondhand stores. Uniformity isn’t necessary. You can mix and match a variety of elegantly decorated plates and teacups. For decoration, place a princess crown on each plate. Before eating, each little princess will find her seat, taking the crown and placing it on her head.

To make it majestic and elegant as possible, use cloth napkins. These can also be found at secondhand or dollar stores. Get creative by turning the cloth napkins into a dove. You can easily find instructions for doing this online. If possible, find child-sized silverware or to make it almost regal (it is for a princess), look for gold plated silverware.

The center of the table can be decorated with plastic jewels or sequins randomly tossed about. Another idea would be to have a colorful bowl in the middle that is filled with plastic necklaces, bracelets, and rings. The girls can pick an accessory to wear. Check out our Princess Candy page where you can find edible bracelets, necklaces and rings for your princess and her young lady guests.

Of course, no princess tea party is without that special “tea recipe.” You can concoct any creation of tea using a variety of beverages like ginger ale and orange juice. Or you can use some of the special juice mixes you find at the store. My favorite is peach mango or pineapple and coconut. Pour the juices and sodas in a beautiful crystal punchbowl. Add several scoops of rainbow sherbet. Another princess punch recipe is to fill half of the bowl with red punch and the other half with 7-Up. You can mix and match the flavors of sherbet and punch. To make an extra special effect for your princess tea party punch, add a squirt of whipped cream to each little girls punch cup.

Princess Party Food Ideas...Perfect For A Tea Party

Princess party food ideas begin with food choices that are pretty and dainty. Tea parties are all about finger sandwiches. You can assemble a variety of popular sandwiches such as peanut butter and jelly, bologna and cheese, turkey or try a chicken salad or cream cheese and strawberry jam. Take the bread and carefully slice away the crust and then with the portion you have left, cut in half or in quarters. You can take the finger sandwiches and display them on a beautiful platter. Use a silver platter and cover it with a paper lace doily.

Other delicious and pretty princess party food ideas include a lovely bowl of fruit containing a variety of sliced fruits such as grapes, watermelon, strawberries and apples. Instead of putting your fruit in a bowl you can place cut up fruit on skewers. Of course, you also need special fruit dip. Blend together a yummy flavor of yogurt with marshmallow fluff or whipped topping. Cheese and crackers cut and served on a tray would also make a nice part of the meal.

Princess tea party ideas need one more thing. You can’t have a tea party without cake! With a little creativity you can create a teapot-shaped cake. You can also frost a cupcake and use some licorice to form a handle. Party stores may offer a special teapot-shaped cake pan. You can decorate the cake with icing, gumdrops, and other yummy goodies. Otherwise you can bake a 9x12-sized cake and decorate it with miniature plastic teapots.

With a little bit of creativity and not a lot of money, you can have a grand princess tea party for your little girls birthday party!
