Sunday was Gayatri's big day: seven years old! She had recently read the book by Lewis Carroll, so when I saw an idea for an Alice in Wonderland tea party in a magazine, I knew she would love it! She invited about 10 friends over, and that's about as many as our house can handle. We made garlands out of playing cards, and Gayatri used some of the left over ones to make place cards. Aunt Suzy came to visit from New York. She made a caterpillar to hang on the wall for a "pin the hands and feet on the caterpillar" game. There was also a game of "flamingo croquet" ( with a garden flamingo from the dollar bins at Target - gotta love living in a country where you don't even need to search to find such a thing).
I prepared different kinds of tea-sandwiches: tofu-salad, veggie-ham, and peanut butter & jelly, served with grapes and chamomile tea (Gayatri's choice). Chocolate and vanilla/strawberry cupcakes (but wouldn't it have been fun to have this cake!). After the party was over, most of the kids ended up staying to watch Alice in Wonderland together.
