Decorating can be fun for you and your daughter. Lace or linen tablecloths will give the party a touch of elegance and sophistication. Using mismatched china and cuisine will make this experience very special. If you do not want to use your good china, consider visiting the local thrift store of the flea market to pick up some cheap teacups and dishes.
For afternoon birthday tea, the menu can be simple. Afternoon tea is light fare such as tea sandwiches, fruit kebabs, tray of cookies and small tarts and a special looking birthday cake to end the party.
Finger foods are simple and can be made ahead of time. If you have an era of time being used as your subject, you may want to serve some foods or tea sandwiches that are of that time period.
Have fun and make a menu that you post in the area. Make it look official and colorful. Be creative and name the items you will serve with the character name. For example, Kit's Peanut Butter and Jelly Tea Sandwich or Josefina's Chicken Nuggets are served with honey mustard dipping sauce. The girls will be pink and tickled, knowing that they are eating their favorite characters' favorite food.
Activities can be everything from watching the latest new American Girl movie or reading one of her favorite books. Consider hunting a scavenger, or a paper lantern kit made for his "penny pincher" birthday party. The activities will depend on the age and interest of the girls.
This is a great opportunity to take pictures of guests and their dolls. Later, when you send a thank you card, you can attach a copy of the photo of your guest and their doll. They have to cherish it and remember this special day in the future.
As the party winds up, you want to give your guests a special gift to help them remember this day. A tea set that they can enjoy with their American Girl dolls is a good idea. Miniature teacups with a small bow can make a nice decoration that they can hang in a special place forever.
