Party: A Tea-riffic, Hat-tastic Party!

Our eldest is 10! Her also birthday marks a decade of parenthood for Mummy and Daddy, and that's a milestone worth celebrating!

Girl #1 is a fan of Ever After High, a web series based on the lives of the offspring of famous fairy tale characters. Her favourite was Madeline Hatter, the daughter of the Mad Hatter, who loves tea parties. So she wanted to have a little tea party with her fellow fan friends.


In keeping with the theme, we had lots of blue, purple and pink colours, polka dots, cupcakes and teapots and teacups. Mummy spent several weeks sourcing for suitable tableware and decor, cake and finger food suppliers (4 different ones!!), craft materials and door gifts, as well as bidding for Ever After High dolls on eBay and having them shipped back all the way from the States.

The day of the party was a particularly hot, sunny afternoon. But thank God that everything went smoothly and everyone had a memorable time drinking tea and rejoicing in 10 years of His faithfulness and grace upon Girl #1's life.
