Party TIPS
from Amy Atlas Events:

Styling Tip
Mix and match unusual vessels such as teapots, creamers, jugs, and hatboxes. The more mismatched the better!

Serving Tip
Offer a high tea buffet. Serve guests an assortment of teas, as well as tiny finger sandwiches, mini-quiche, scones, petit fours, chocolates, and cupcakes. Finish it off with a "Happy Unbirthday" cake, as was done in the Alice in Wonderland book!

Entertaining Tip
Have guests create made hats at the party and hold a mad hatter fashion show at the end of the event. Provide hats, pipe cleaners, paper butterflies, plastic bugs, flowers, scissors, and tape for each guest to decorate.



We are welcoming Spring in less than two weeks. I believed many of you (including myself) might already started planning your Spring/Summer outdoor parties. Isn't this Alice in Wonderland Party idea come in right on time for that?! As always, I hope these styling shoots inspire you to plan your next event. Be it a wedding, bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner or a sweet sixteen birthday party; I hope you have fun planning it!


Have a fun weekend too, my dear blog readers!
