Our daughter, Gabrielle turned nine on November 29th. It still boggles my mind that she is nine! She is all girl and really wanted to have a Tea Party Birthday Party this year.
I usually start planning a party with the invitations. For this Tea Party Birthday Party, we wanted to give each guest their invitation inside a teacup. I was able to find some adorable tea cups and saucers at yard sales this past fall that were perfect for the invitations.
We made the Tea Party Birthday Party invite so it would hold a tea bag and all the party information was inside.
You can download the invitation HERE.
The Tea Party Birthday Party invitation is easy to put together, you fold along the lines and you need to cut a slit at the top to have the tea bag string go through it. (See picture below).
We put the invites inside the teacups.
Then, we boxed them up in rainbow party boxes to hand deliver them to my daughter’s friends.
For the party, my daughter had certain things she wanted on the table. She has really started wanting to get involved with every party I plan or set up for. She is becoming the little party planner. 🙂

She wanted different shaped tea sandwiches with different options inside of them.
She wrote the tea sandwich menu on a chalkboard for the table.
We set up a tea station (including Teavana’s Perfect Tea Rock Sugar) for the girls to choose their tea from.
My daughter loves the Rock Sugar and was excited for her friends to try it.
Each guest had a place setting with little gift boxes and a tiny cup filled with jelly beans (my daughter requested jelly beans for the party). The clear, plastic cups are actually wedding favors. I picked them up at a yard sale last summer. They had two boxes of them that weren’t used at their wedding. They were too cute and I knew I could use them for something.
No tea party is complete without jewels all over the table. 😉
Since my daughter’s birthday is so close to Thanksgiving, she wanted to make the Turkey Pops we made for Thanksgiving for all her guests too.
I knew my daughter would love these brightly colored flowers I found at Sams.
I was right.
This tea party was a big hit with all the girls.
They ate, drank tea and had the cutest conversations ever.
I always like to plan activities for the kids to do at each party we host. For this party, we made homemade teacup candles! You can see how we did that HERE. The girls absolutely loved this activity!
I found some of the cutest tea party supplies online that you would use for your tea party birthday party!

Love the teacups! Such a fun party to have for a nine-year-old!
It was a lot of fun and making the homemade candles was a first time experience for everyone. I will share that next week.
