Are you searching for unique birthday party ideas that will thrill a little girl? An American Girl mystery tea party could be just that kind of party. In addition, her friends will also love the theme and the tea party games provided.
American Girl dolls are finely crafted dolls that depict certain eras from American history, such as dolls outfitted in Victorian period dresses or dolls who are dressed in Jazz Age frocks. Besides the dolls themselves, the company which manufactures these dolls provides books and accessories for each doll describing who she is and what her historical period was like.
Having a birthday party revolve around an American Girl mystery tea party is easy to plan and execute. Here are some birthday party ideas to help create a special birthday with the American Girl mystery tea party theme.
"Mysterious" Tea Party?
Bring a little mystery into a little girl's birthday party by having her and her friends listen to pre-recorded music snippets and guessing which doll corresponds to the music's historical period. "Grab bag" is another fun mystery game which involves placing many small items in a bag and having each girl reach in and guess what the item is by just feeling it. Also, guessing how many jelly beans are in a jar at the beginning of the party is always a crowd pleaser. Count the jellybeans at the end of the birthday party and give whoever came closest to the correct amount an American Girl themed prize.
Fun with Tea Party Food
If any of the guests own American Party dolls, ask them to bring their dolls to the birthday party. Decorate a table big enough to accommodate them all with a fancy tablecloth, two or three teapots, small saucers and teacups at each place setting. Instead of tea, you can serve milk, punch or juice, along with any of these types of tea party finger foods:
