You're Invited to a Tea Party!

When it came time to plan for my birthday week... I decided I wanted to have a birthday party. And not just a birthday party, but a tea party. I had the most amazing tea set that I got for my sixth birthday, but one fateful day, I left it at my babysitter's friends' house and never got to have the dream tea party I always wanted. I invited everyone that I loved dearly and by some stroke of luck, my bestest friends ever from college were also able to attend! Yeeeeee!

I went to Goodwill on a whim to see if I could find any sort of anything that could be used for my tea set. It seems like I just got lucky all around for my party- I found not only tea cups, but matching plates, creamers, tea pots, and tea set materials galore! Not only that, but they were on all on sale- 50% off. My 50 cent cups and plates were 24 cents. I spent eleven dollars on a 30 piece tea set. Does it get better than that?

I opted for my Modcloth polka dot dress with a white ruffle detail- it felt vintage and if I had to have tea with Kate Middleton, this would be my dress of choice. The great thing about my little town in Idaho is that there are some great-and cheap!- vintage shops. I found my 1960's white vintage hat for only seven dollars! I loved what people came up with for their "British tea party" outfits. It was a blast!

Niklaas took all of these pictures. He looked pretty cute himself in his blazer. Overall, it was a wonderful little tea party and I truly loved being around every single person I adore (minus one or two people). The only way it could possibly be better is if all of you bloggers could have been there ;)!

Oh, and I definitely wouldn't fit in at the Queen's palace.

I love it! You all look so cute! Looks like so much fun. I tried to do a theme birthday party once but none of my friends dressed up so your friends must be way cooler than mine!!! The last photo is hilarious.

That was such a brilliant idea! I think every little girl always wishes that she could have a marvelous tea party dressed up with all of her friends, complete with dainty teacups and dainty finger sandwiches. :) It sounds like you and your friends had a delightful time!

That's awesome! I really want to host an Alice in Wonderland (the book) themed tea and brunch, but I'd never be organized enough to do it. That looks like so much fun.

This has gotta be one of the neatest themes for a birthday party! Well, a girl party anyways.

I can remember a few times when I was a kid and I had tea parties with my friends and we loved playing dress up.

I would probably be SO excited to get invited to this.
