Mad Hatter Tea Party Baby Shower

Last week I had my Mad Hatter Tea Party Baby Shower, and I had a blast.

In the weeks prior to the baby shower, I was on Google, Pinterest, Ravelry, Etsy, (everything!), looking for inspiration and ideas on how to make it a fun afternoon for everyone. I made all the decorations, including a Mad Hatter bunting, crochet love heart garland, paper flowers, Cheshire cat tail, and This Way signs, so that my family and friends could get a wonderland feel about the party.

I even found this guy during the after Easter sales, perfect for those need to "follow the white rabbit.”

For food, we had cupcakes, biscuits, slices, jam tarts, cheese platter, sausage rolls, dips, veggie sticks, and cake, most of which was gobbled up at the party.

And I can’t forget the tea, hot and iced, mr gasket even bought me a brand new tea pot just for the party!

I asked everyone to wear a hat during the baby shower (and to my surprise most people did), and even more impressively, a lot of the party go-ers made their own hats, nice work people! I made my own hat, and I also made a few back-up hats in case anyone forgot to bring theirs.

Yes, two decks of cards and two Alice in Wonderland books were harmed in the making of this hat.

Overall I had a great time, although I didn’t get to mingle as much as I’d like to, and my good friend did an amazing job at hosting all the games, which including Price is Right, Everything Baby A-Z, and Baby Shower Bingo. The baby got lots of beautiful, fun and practical things, it makes me feel really blessed to have such wonderful and generous people in my life.

I had so much fun with this themed tea party baby shower, I’m already thinking of the next themed party to have … maybe for the baby’s first birthday … but mr gasket thinks I might be getting a bit off with your head ahead of myself.

Let me know what you think of my baby shower, or let me know about the best themed party you hosted/attended!
