There is so much in the way of Alice-esque stuff. Recently, I was perusing Urban Outfitters and I saw some crazy Wonderland glassware. Naturally, I ordered it. Enjoy this sequel to my first post on a Wonderland party. Hopefully, you'll find some ideas here that will prompt you to bring your next afternoon gathering into the garden for tea!
I can't decide which place card holder I love more: the tiny chairs or the little teapot. At a truly mad tea party, I suppose I could use them both! And then I saw this wacky little set, looking rather Hatter indeed:
I've posted these favor bags already (see Hippy Chic), but if your party is more brightly colored (a la the Disney version), these would be perfect - so much nicer than cellophane or plastic. A Wonderland party is great for little girls who like stories but aren't into the whole princess thing!
Alice had a locket, and so should your guest(s) of honor! At under $37, this sterling silver locket is a perfect, memorable party gift that will be even more special if you have it inscribed. It even holds 2 pictures (I'm not ashamed to admit I have my two beloved Bostons inside my favorite locket). Below, more of a splurge version (just under $3000) of a Victorian locket:
If your party is only inspired by Alice, and your brainstorms morph into an afternoon garden tea, the card below is subtle, feminine and timelessly classic.
I love huge teacups. They lend a surreal bit of kookiness to your tea party!
I am NOT a collector of figurines, but how cute would this be on top of your little Alice's cake? *Update: recently a reader asked how to find the Cheshire Cat above. It's a Disney piece; most of the items above are hotlinked for further information and your shopping convenience. Hope I don't beat you to it!*
*Just wanted to add, after I put this post together, I clicked on one of the cakes in my original post's collage. It took me to this blog, specifically devoted to Alice in Wonderland weddings. she's got some beautiful pictures of Mad Hatter cakes. What Wonderland soiree is complete without petit fours and fancy cookies proclaiming, "Eat Me!"
