Homemade Tea Party Invitations
Yes, it's a tea party. The very idea to me conjures up images of Alice in Wonderland, a sneaky looking cat with a huge grin, and a white rabbit. Days gone by, or so I thought. The tea party is alive and kicking. Our children have them, The gals (or ladies) congregate now and then for one, they make good fundraising events, and they still have that big one in Boston. So here is our section of hand made invitations for the Tea Party.
Images or charms you might want to think about using when making your party invitations: Teacups, saucers, a kettle, tea bags (why not use the real thing) the Mad Hatter, Alice in wonderland. Don't forget you can always throw a coffee party.
If you are interested in basic party etiquette when hosting your little tea party then check out these tea party etiquette tips. You will find a whole heap of menus and theme ideas as well.
If you have made your invitations and feel the need to share them with us then by all means send them through via the contact form. We'd love to see them.

Spring Tea Party Invitations
These gorgeous invitations to a Garden Tea were made by with supplies that Alisa received in her Vintage Party swap goodies pack. We can see some classic vintage images of a fine young lady on the front of the invitation with an embellishment in the top right corner made up of ribbon, buttons and roses, so simple to do. The details are on the reverse side with a banner and image of a tea setting.

Biggest Morning Tea Party Invites
These invitations were simple enough to make.
Beige card printed onto with the home printer on the inside. On the front of the card is a teacup that was hand drawn on to handmade paper from k-mart and cut. It is a very basic easy to draw a plain cup with no flashy bits on it. The writing on the inside of the card was done with word. There was an insert with so additional information about the Australia's Biggest Morning Tea which we were fundraising for.

Birthday Tea Party Invitations
The event:
A 3 year olds Birthday Tea Party, come dressed up, favors to be presented upon arrival of each guest were sweet pink Easter Hats.
Instructions:
Cut 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock into 4 equal pieces and set aside.
The 'Fun Pass" and flowers were both 'Close to my Heart' stamps. The small hat is a Stamping Up stamp. I used black ink and stamped all images on various scraps of patterned paper. The images were cut out. First I adhered the Fun Pass. The "Tea Party" was added by brushing paint directly onto CTMH alphabet stamps before pressing on the cardstock, carefully lining Party along the Fun Pass. The other stamped images were added along with brads and a few extra flowers. I did not add many embellishments as I knew the recipients, like my daughter, would be carrying these around for play afterwards. The cup of tea stamp is Stamping up. When all was dry, I filled in the pertinent information.
Hot tip:
Don't forget to make one or two extra - one for Moms scrapbook and one for the birthday girl to play with.
Tea for Two invitaitons
These
were our handmade tea party invitations and place cards for my daughter's
"Tea for Two" (a second birthday party) I used stamps from Stampin' Up; some alphabet stamps from PSX; a roller stamp from 'stampin'
around', some pink Bazzil linen cardstock and the 2peasinabucket flea
market font for the invite and I used the same stamps on an invitation
size envelope for the place cards.
