Tea Party Birthday Party

Planning a birthday party for a toddler is something all parents look forward to. After all, your little one is turning a year older and how can you possibly not make this occasion as special as possible? These are precious moments in your child's life, with so many new and exciting changes to celebrate every year! But coming up with birthday party ideas for toddlers can be a little overwhelming as you want to plan a event that not only your little one loves but the other kids enjoy too. When planning a birthday party, you have to ensure that the everything is taken care of beforehand. Here are some birthday party planning tips that will help you:
  • Make sure that the party does not continue for a long time. For toddlers, an hour or hour and a half is a good time span before attention runs out.
  • While choosing a location for the party, besides your home, it is best to choose someplace where independent play is encouraged, like parks and indoor playhouses where it will be easy to keep the kids entertained.
  • Party invitations for toddler birthday parties should not be elaborate. Handwrite the basic information on an invitation matching the theme in crayons, and add a picture of your birthday boy or girl.
  • Give out party favors to all the kids while the birthday boy or girl is opening gifts so that the other kids are entertained throughout the gift opening.



Tea Party Games


Simple and enjoyable games in the party are what make kids to have a great fun. The following are some of the most interesting games that kids of 4-5 years can easily follow and enjoy.
Blowing bubbles is always tops in fun. This wise hostess placed a low flat pan in the center of one of the low tables. In it she had put a mixture of soapy water and a few drops of glycerin. She gave each child a straw. Soon the air was filled with squeals of delight from the youngsters as the bubbles floated upward. The straws were excellent blowers, made no mess, and were easily replaced when broken by chubby fingers.
After the activity of these games the youngsters were ready to settle down at the tables to try finger painting. Each child was fitted with a large paper apron to protect his party clothes. The bib-style aprons were made of heavy butcher's paper on which ties and halters of tape had been stitched. Finger painting of course is that familiar childhood art of smearing finger paint onto large sheets of paper with the fingers. Our hostess made a generous supply of three colors of finger paint. Here is her recipe.

Birthday Tea Party Planning

If you want to be at peace on the day of the birthday tea party, plan it 6 – 8 weeks in advance. It'll give you enough time to purchase and mail the party invitations and to make travel plans, if needed. If you have less time, don't panic. Just a little careful planning and every thing will be set. Of course, if you want to increase the number of guests attending the tea party, it is advisable to plan everything in advance.

Birthday Tea Party Invitations

Send the invitations as early as possible. This will give the guests ample time to organize their trip, if they live far away and make sure that they are able to attend the tea party. Also don't exceed the number of guests above 5 or 6 people. A good way to send invitations is to send an inexpensive tea mug or a real tea bag with a tea label invitation attached. The invitations should be creative, short and simple.

Birthday Tea Party Decorations

Hosting the tea party outdoors is a good idea. However, if you're hosting a birthday party indoors, you will need to make special arrangements, like, bringing a few garden flowers indoors for decoration. The area where the party is to be held should be filled with balloons, streamers, confetti, etc. All the decorations should be done keeping your little girl's preferences in mind, like, if she loves the color purple, add a purple touch and a feminine look in your decorations. Decorate with lots of candles and colorful tablecloths. A few things that you could use for the decorations and overall ambiance are:

  • Paper dollies
  • Pink and white streamers
  • Silver foil balloons
  • Fresh flower bucket
  • Dolls and stuffed animals
  • Playing the girl's favorite music

Themes High Tea


The wide variety of haring aids and hearing aid technologies now available can make it difficult for the hearing-impaired to decide which hearing aids will be most effective in their individual circumstances.
And, given that fifty percent of all people over the age of fifty--and that means millions of Baby Boomers--will experience high frequency hearing loss as the “hair cells” in their inner ears deteriorate and can no longer convert sound waves into the electrical impulses which travel along the auditory nerves to the brain, hearing impairment is becoming a mainstream health issue.
To make matters even worse, high frequency hearing loss can result from overexposure to loud noise or music; and sufferers of high frequency hearing loss need help understanding conversations in noisy environments. Those with broadband hearing loss, on the other hand, need help across the entire auditory spectrum with both high and low pitched sounds.
Oticon, Inc, is the manufacturer of Delta hearing aids. Their Delta hearing aids have a revolutionary triangular design, with cutting edge digital technology specifically aimed at the Baby-Boomer-and-younger generations who are experiencing hearing impairment in the mild to moderate range.




The brushed-metal Delta hearing aids, which come in an astonishing seventeen colors, have tiny receivers attached to transparent wires. Because the receivers are inserted into the Delta Hearing aid user’s ear canals, they have made possible new designs previously unavailable to the hearing-impaired. Delta hearing aids have both the cosmetic appeal of inner ear hearing enhancement and the technological capabilities of behind-the-ear hearing aids.
Delta hearing aids, with their digital technology, allow their users to adjust them so that they only amplify the sounds which the users have difficulty hearing. Those one-in-two people who suffer from high frequency hearing loss can amplify the high-register sounds, without having to magnify the bass frequencies to an unbearable level.
Delta hearing aids, in a Crayola-box range of colors from Sunset Orange to Green Chameleon, with Mother-of-Pearl for the more formal set, are turning traditionally, well… ugly, hearing aids into fashion accessories!

Afternoon Tea Party


Are you planning a bridal shower but want to make it a bit different than the usual shower? Consider incorporating an afternoon tea theme into your plans. The event doesn't need to be a serious high tea with straight faces all around. Make it fun for the bride and the guests by going all out and inspiring everyone to get involved.
If you want your guests to arrive prepared, make sure their invitation states that they are invited for an afternoon tea party. Hint that they bring items to help lighten the mood, such as fancy gloves, hankies or hats that they can use all through the shower. Getting the guests involved before the shower means fewer surprises during the shower and gives them a heads up as to what they can expect. There will always be some guests who won't feel comfortable participating, so don't let them get you down.
It's also a great idea to have some extra costume pieces for guests who don't have anything at home that they can bring.
The best way to get the atmosphere of an afternoon tea is to serve tea in fancy tea pots. Borrow these from friends and family if you don't have them yourself. Just be careful with them to make sure they don't break. You'll also require fancy tea cups and saucers and entice everyone to drink with their pinkie fingers in the air! Make it light-hearted and turn it into a shower game!




You can also use tea pots as vases and fill them with fresh flowers. These would make excellent centerpieces, set on a napkin or embroidered cloth.
To accompany the tea, serve dainty sandwiches filled with cream cheese and cucumber slices. Scones with homemade preserves and thick cream are also applicable for this theme. Small cookies and squares will introduce some diversity to your party menu.
An afternoon tea bridal shower isn't complete without, of course, the tea. But don't feel constrained to only this beverage. You can serve iced tea, coffee, or punch as well, but keep in the spirit by serving all of the drinks in tea cups.
If you have lots of room, set up dainty tables with four or five chairs at each table for the atmosphere of smaller parties going on at the same time. If tea is the main beverage, you can set up one pot per table and let your guests help themselves.
Keep the bride involved in the theme by providing some tea party garments for her. She may appreciate the theme since it will take some of the attention and pressure off of her as the guests get caught up in their tea party. Having a theme also helps to keep the festivities going without those awkward silences that occasionally happen because it gives people who don't have a lot in common something to talk about.
Make sure that you and your co-hosts are willing to jump head first into the shower theme. The more you are willing to get into it, the more willing your guests will be to follow suit. Your enthusiasm will be contagious and will make everyone else more comfortable to join in. If you're having fun, your guests will too.
