Mother's Day Party Inspiration: A Mother and Daughter Tea Party

Posted: 04 May 2011 04:17 AM PDT

Today's post is courtesy of my sweet, talented friend Alexandra from Enchanted Events and Design. I just love the idea of a sweet tea party on Mother's Day and I'm pretty certain my little girl would LOVE dressing up in hats and gloves for the occasion! :)

A mommy and daughter tea party : I set up one table for the moms with cakes, sandwiches and black tea and a separate, smaller table for the girls with kid friendly treats and herbal tea. The first stop for the girls was the desserts table., and then they picked up hats, white gloves and pearl necklaces!

At the girls' table they enjoyed carrots (with celery bow ties attached with cream cheese), ants on a log (peanut butter on celery with raisins), strawberries, sandwiches, hard boiled eggs and yogurt melts.

The weather was beautiful. It was an incredibly enjoyable time. This is the first year our three year olds are fully grasping the concepts of holidays. Watching them skip around the yard looking for eggs all on their own while we got to sit and relax was absolutely thrilling!

Well Alexandra, this was a truly stunning party with a very girly feel - My kinda party!

Thanks so much for sharing your fabulous party ideas here! :)
