When I am at home, you rarely see me without a cup of tea in hand.  From black teas, to green tea, and herbal, I like to consider myself a tea connoisseur.  As a child, I remember lining my dolls around a table and enjoying a spot of tea  as we sipped our invisible drinks and enjoyed our air finger foods.  

A tea party celebration is such an adorable theme for a child’s birthday party–a chance for party guests to sit around and chat with friends, pinky fingers raised high into the air.  Whether you are looking to host the party at home  or away the possibilities are endless.  Tie the party together with some adorable tea party decor or with one of their favorite books.  Here’s a Fancy Nancy book which would work perfectly!

We found a few tea spots which would work perfectly for your child’s next event–take a look–
