I took my daughter to her first tea party, and she absolutely loved it! It was a mother-daughter princess tea party put on by a friend of mine for the homeschool mothers in the area. My daughter liked getting all dolled up, with ringlets in her hair. We both wore blue dresses. She knew that she looked beautiful.
Normally she runs around the house like a pack of elephants. (She does have three brothers.) I didn’t know if her boundless energy would contain itself long enough to be calm, quiet, and polite for a couple of hours. But she did it! My husband pointed out that she was playing the part. Basically, her energy was re-directed to act like a princess. She enjoyed all the many yummy treats that were displayed in such a pretty fashion on gorgeous little China sets. On the way home, I asked her if she liked the tea party, and she exclaimed, “Yes!” quite enthusiastically.
How fun! Did you have this at someone’s house? I work at a historical society and I am thinking this might be a really fun thing for us to do with some sort of theme!

Yes, the tea party was at a friend’s house. A historical theme would be fun, like Victorian times!
Oh how lovely! I would have adored a tea party with my mother as a little girl!
I would have loved it, too!
