Don't worry...I'm not soon parting with my mom's set, just the cheapo one that my daughter had! :D

Not only are tea parties popular with the little ones, they are becoming increasingly popular with us "adults." Additionally, one of DD18's friends had her 16th birthday party at one of the local tea rooms. They are always doing events there for people of all ages. I also know of many people who do them at their homes for their kids and/or their own friends. (Way cheaper than the tea rooms). ;)

Last week I got an invitation to a bridal tea shower. On the invite it even says to wear a hat. LOL

I remember having little tea parties with my dolls when I was younger. My daughters had them when they were little and my 3-year old niece is now getting in to them with her little dolls and stuffed animals. I think tea parties will never be unpopular.

What you are doing is very kind and thoughtful. That little girl will appreciate it so much.

I guess I'd be in deep puppy chow if I got invited to a tea party. I don't like tea, and I'd either have to wear my RFD-TV cap, or my turtle fur toque. :D

LOL I would be wearing a baseball cap that I wear while fishing if a friend of mine didn't give me a hat several years ago for a party we went to. :D

Aren't Tea Parties called Orgies, now..:D

What????:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

What kind of TV shows are you watching?

I just meant that everyone is growing up so fast, these days, they don't have time for tea parties. It's a shame, I think.:(

My 10 yr old grand has received her monthly visiter already..:eek: . I was just burping her yesterday!!!!!

My little niece (2yr old) and I just got done with a bedtime tea party... it was too cute!!

She loves playing tea party!! Such an imagination!!

I had tea parties, dd had them, and now my granddaughter does, too.

I got her a little porcelain set - nothing expensive, maybe $10 - when she was 2. Most of that broke in the toybox, moving.

:rolleyes:

No probs, so she gets another at christmas - it's always a good gift to her. I'll make cookies or there will be some other snack, and either there's plain water in the cups, maybe juice, once we did actual tea! She puts on her princess dress if it's at my house. Only the elite stuffed lion or kitty gets to join us.

B2Y, that is an awesome thing to give some little girl. You're going to make her day!

:hug:

I was just reading old threads and I came across the tea party topic. A few years ago I gave my 4 y/o neighbor girl a princess tea set. She would come over and have tea parties with my mini dachshund, Baxter. She would set the cup on the floor and he would put his nose in to investigate, drinking his "tea"(water). They were just too cute. Both of her parents were Marines and it was always fun to see her big Marine dad sipping tea out of little princess cups!
