Any ideas for a glamourous childrens tea party?
Answer:
Just ignore the haters. :) I think a tea party is a really cute idea, and making it a tradition means your daughter and her friends will look forward to it every year.
My suggestion is to allow the girls a chance to create their own recipes this year. They'll have fun playing "kitchen" before getting all dressed up, and they'll also have a sense of accomplishment. Provide them with ingredients that couldn't possibly taste bad when combined and allow them to create the recipe (I'm thinking about ingredients that can just be poured into a bowl and mixed together, but you can certainly venture out more if you're brave). You could even encourage them to make up names for the ingredients (pretzel sticks could be magic wands, marshmallows could be princess pillows).
Another idea is to let them "bring" their favorite book character to the party. They can bring the book and have an invisible book character friend with a place set for them at the table. After the tea and crumpets, the moms could take turns reading the books to all the girls.
Have fun, and let us know how it turned out!
add some yard games, or charades. Sounds a bit over the top for a bunch of 4 year olds-How in the world would you keep them in their seats?
my first idea is to remove the word glamorous.
your child is four years old!
she is not a mini woman, she is a child.
at this age, all kids want is to have fun.
i hope your dress up bin's appropriate.
also, i think you aren't worried about your child having fun, you're worried about what the other mums will think of you.
this is your kid's party. start thinking about her.
How about some lawn games?
Oh, that is such a cool idea, hon. However your daughter might be out growing it. First, ask her if she still wants to do the tea parties. If she feels she has outgrown them, you and she choose another theme for a get together. Maybe a hike, fishing, stuff like that.
Discuss this with your daughter, maybe she has an idea.
I have discovered that as my children get older, they have ideas of their own.
Maybe she has another theme for the party, craft's or games.
Hope this helps.
Well, I dont know about for now , but when she is slightly older you can take them all out for manicure and get their hair done, etc.They have something here in my town for children where you an go for a party and do manicures, pedicures, and dress up too. It sound fun. I have 3 boys though so I cant do that. I do have a girl on the way though.and I would definitley like to do that for her.
After the make overs then come back for the tea party.
It is important that you look at your daughter and what she likes. Maybe you could let her have a one day makeover deal. You could allow her to feel like a runway model. Have your daughter play dress up with barbies maybe. Like mentioned before, a few lawn games won't hurt. If you'd like, you could put a few cute banners up. Take pictures and after everything is over, you and your daughter could make a scrapbook of the entire day.
One thing you must remember though, your daughter is 4 years old. Also as previously mentioned, most of the time anything is fun to children. She probably won't remember this 2 or 3 years from now because after 5, her brain starts to keep track of memories. Any time before that, she could most likely forget.
I don't if you have a big age group, but, my son and daughter have attended a tea party that had a woman teach etiquette. This woman actually does a full dress up with the kids and teaches them basic etiquette. I am sure that there must someone in your area that does something similar. It was actually a lot of fun for the kids, they learned how to greet people, receive and give compliments and gratitude and much more.
In addition to letting the children dress up, you sould style there hair & put lipstick on them & make them feel older and sophisticated! Little children think it is so much fun to be older, and if you are wanting to do something really different, you should let the kids do there own/eachothers make up. This may get messy, so this may be something that you don't want to do. But I can assure you they would have fun. Because when i was 4 years old i always wanted to be just like mom.
