379.0. "Help with Tea Party" by USCTR1::MMCCALLION () Sun Nov 08 1992 21:51

    I need some help.  I want to have a Tea Party with Emily who is 3.5 yrs
    old and some of her friends.  Problem is, it's been too many years
    since my days of tea's.  I don't want go as far as wearing white gloves
    (am I dating myself here?) but I would like to have small fancy
    sandwiches or juices...
    
    Is there some quide books for children's games, party ideas etc?
    
    Any ideas are appreciated.
    
    Thanks

    I just managed to survive my daughter's 3rd birthday party on Saturday!
    
    The kids (6 of them) were great fun and we played the games that I used
    to play at parties when I was a kid: Pass the Parcel; Pin the Tail on
    the Donkey; Musical Chairs/Statues/Bumps.
    
    The food can be as plain or fancy as you like - the children will still
    eat it like there's no tomorrow! My wife even made a "Hickory, Dickory,
    Dock" clock cake - the design for which was given to us by a friend.
    
    We have a book at home which gives details of fancy party foods. If you
    like and depending on when and where this party is going to be (I'm in 
    the UK) I could copy some ideas and send them to you.
