A few months after I got to NJ it was Christmas. I was helping my Aunt take all the Christmas China from the cabinet; That's when I found the most beautiful tea set I've seen. That's when I decided to have a tea party for my 25th birthday. I started to look on pinterest and other tea party websites. this is what I came up with:
This is the main food table
This is the other table in the living room
My theme was rose color and a hint of Alice and Wonderland. The picture above, I bought Alice in Wonderland paper from the original book, door knob and key hole, the heart keys, and the aged cards I got off of Etsy.
The beautiful invitations I got off of zazzle
Napkins:
Broach I got off Etsy.
Bar pins I got at Michaels
Hot glued the pins onto the back of the broaches
Rolled up the rose colored napkins I got off Amazon and
pinned on the broaches
I made about 10 of them
Table Cloth:
I bought Rose color solid table cloth and then put
a white lace cloth on top.
Chairs:
I bought bows like you see at weddings; added the perfect pop to the chairs.
Strawberry Pizza:
Oil the bottom of the cupcake pan. Put a small ball
of sugar cookie and cook for about 5-7mins but
be sure to check frequently cause it burns fast
Cut strawberries small, add sugar and put in the fridge for 24hrs
(optional)
add strawberry cream cheese, and the sugar covered
strawberries on top. Taste sooo good
Banana Pudding:
I found little appetizer cups and spoons at Party city.
Crumble pie crust, add a few thinly sliced bananas, then vanilla pudding,
then a few sprinkles of crust for the top. yum!
7 layer dip:
Bought tumblers at the store, perfect size for
individual portions of dip.
1. refried beans 2. guacamole 3. sour cream 4. salsa 5. grated cheese 6. olives 7. tomatoes
Cucumber sandwiches:
In FL there is this grocery store called Publix. They make this bread
called Rainbow bread for back to school. Its just italian bread
with food die. we used cookie cutters to make flowers and butterflies.
inside is cucumber slices, mayo, cream cheese and garlic salt.
Other appetizers we made were croissants, strawberry butter, cupcakes, Pillsbury strawberry lemonade cookies, Pinwheels, chips, salsa, fruit, veggies, and tea
Strawberry butter:
- Stick of room temp butter
- strawberry preserve
mix the two together and wa-la strawberry jelly which tastes amazing on warm croissants
Here is more pictures of the layout :)
lamp shades (David Tutera), candle holders, tooth picks, and lanterns I got off of Amazon.
Alice in wonderland Tea cup and saucer:
take a porcelain cup and saucer and draw on the dish with sharpies. put the dish in the oven and set the oven for 350* for 30mins. when the timer goes off turn off the oven and allow them to cool with the oven. now the markers are baked onto the glass. hand wash only to make the colors last :)
Love you all,
