For years it has confused me about why ANYONE would want one of these dull and boring events for a party.  Then one day I had a brilliant plan for a fun way to put on this DRAB afternoon party.</td>

<h3>So came my brain child of a Twisted Tea Party</h3>
<p>The concept of the event is to have silly games while in the disguise of a formal tea party. To begin you need to pick your menu and Kid friendly Tea. Make sure your menu is designed for kids with your finger foods being things like</p>
<ul>
<li>Peanut butter and Jelly</li>
<li>Cream Cheese and Fruit preserves</li>
<li>Cream Cheese and cucumber</li>
</ul>
<p>For the TEA you are not limited to tea although having one or two hot teas and a few cold drinks as well.</p>
<ul>
<li>ginger ale with a couple sweet syrups (strawberry / lemon) goes over well</li>
<li>bottled water</li>
<li>pink lemonade</li>
</ul>
<p>See to it that the table is setup very formal, I would even go so far as to have formal invitations sent out. Place a small plastic plate on top of the good stuff for the kids to eat from. Or read the <a href="http://www.balloonguymike.com/cupcake-fun-birthday-activity/">CupCake Post. </a></p>
<p>Now that the boring part is taken care of get creative and think of some crazy games.</p>
<p>A fun game is to pass the tea pot. Your gonna need music.</p>
<p>Rules</p>
<ul>
<li>Start the music</li>
<li>Start passing the tea pot</li>
<li>randomly stop the music to eliminate players</li>
</ul>
<p>Put some candy in the tea pot so that thoes eliminated get something. When the last person is left holding the tea pot they get a nice prize. I find that a  $5 Toys-R-Us gift card goes over like the holy grail at a childs party. Then again I have been known to get the participation of a easter egg hunt to 100% with even adults helpin by showing a $20 bill being added to the mix.</p>
<p>Also if this is the Madd Hatter Tea party. Randomly make everyone change seats. CLEAN CUP CLEAN CUP MOVE DOWN MOVE DOWN CLEAN CUP CLEAN CUP MOVE DOWN.</p>
<p>Until Next time. Don&#8217;t stress and enjoy a fun party.</p>
<p>And keep in mind that Balloon Guy Mike entertainment helps plan birthday parties and even does a <a href="http://www.balloonguymike.com/birthday-party-blast/">FULL Madd Hatter Tea Party.</a></p>
