Tea party games are always fun to plan. If you are looking for the best tea party games, you have come to the right place.
Teacup Swap is a game for big or small groups. In your invitation, ask each guest to bring a teacup and saucer that they are willing to trade. Suggest a place that they might find one if they do not have one on hand (an antique store in the area is a good bet). Make sure that you have extra in case someone forgets, or cannot afford one.
When your guests arrive, have them place their teacups at their place setting or have them already arranged there if you are providing them.
When you are ready, have everyone walk around the table, admiring each teacup and saucer set. When everyone has finished, let them know that the first guest to arrive is the first to choose a teacup.
Continue in the order in which the guests arrived, or you can go in age order, or have numbers drawn from a hat.
It is lots of fun if you keep the fact that they will be trading teacups a secret. Just make sure that those bringing their own know that they should make sure they bring a teacup that they don't mind giving away.
Teacup Swap is lots of fun because each person gets to keep the teacup and saucer set of their choice!
The second game you are about to learn is called Tea Tasting. This is a great game to play with smaller groups. Make sure that you have several teapots handy, and a little trinket to give away for a prize.
Steep a couple of teas in teapots.
Give each guest a little bit of the teas, keeping the flavor a secret. Serve everyone one flavor at a time.
Go through each flavor in the same way, and at the end the best guesser can win a small trinket if you would like.
Don't forget to write down what tea is in which pot so you don't get confused!
When buying your teas, make sure you purchase contrasting flavors. Familiar flavors are good if your guests are not usually tea drinkers (It will make the game easier for them).
In general, avoid buying mixed teas because the flavors can get confusing.
Try out these great teas for distinct flavors:
Peppermint
Rose Hip
Orange Zest
Green Tea
Lavender
Chai
Chamomile
Ginger
Raspberry
For a fun and silly game at a relaxed tea party, have each guest make a tea party hat.
You will probably need materials, and a dollar store or a craft store clearance sale will probably carry everything you need.
Any crafty supplies will work, as most tea party guests can get quite creative.
Here are some ideas of what to provide:
Silk flowers
Ribbons
Lace
Buttons
Beads
Thread
Bells
Fabric
1' x 1' pieces of organza or tulle work wonderfully. They bunch up well and are lightweight.
Having a hot glue gun around is important. The more hot glue guns the better!
If you do not have any hot glue guns handy, a few bottles of quick drying craft glue will suffice.
When each hat is complete, award a prize to the most creative hat, the prettiest hat, the smallest hat, etc. Make sure you take lots of pictures!
