Alice in Wonderland Decorations

The beauty of Alice in Wonderland Tea Party theme lies in mixing elegance with oddity, so here are some fun ideas to prettify the place.

1. “Mad Hatter Tea Party” Sign

Let’s get started by sprucing up the entrance with a bold “Mad Hatter Tea party” sign. You can use a wooden or acrylic board and apply UV DTF transfer stickers featuring Alice in Wonderland themed designs onto it to customize your own signage. These vibrant and no-background stickers stick beautifully on sturdy and smooth surfaces and make the designs look like they are printed on the surface. 

Besides the welcome sign, you can also add quirky arrow-shaped signs pointing in random directions for that classic Wonderland vibe. Write on them fun phrases like “That Way,” “Wrong Way,” or “Tea Party Ahead” in Alice in Wonderland style lettering.

2. Tea Cup Balloon

Balloons are a common type of decoration for parties. For this themed party, consider tying helium balloons to make a shape of mini tea cups or paper cup models. It’s a playful decoration that looks as if the teacups are floating around your party.

3. Dangling Teapot Chandelier

Next, we recommend hanging a few old teapot models upside down from the ceiling. To make the floating effect more realistic, remember to use transparent string. Besides, you can pop in fresh flowers or tiny LED lights to make it look magical like we are in Wonderland.

4. Floating Playing Card Swirl

How about a spiral mobile? It can be easily made using transparent thread and playing cards. You may want to hang them above your table as an Alice in Wonderland decoration.

5. Teacup Tree

To make a charming teacup tree, you will need a dry tree branch. Then, you paint it white, and hang mini teacups and colorful bows from its branches. 

6. Mismatch Fabric Table Runners

Instead of matching tablecloths that we always see in ordinary parties, let’s try something crazier, more “Mad Hatter energy”. Think about layering long, colorful scraps of fabric to make a vibrant, chaotic table runner for your Alice in Wonderland tea party.

7. Stacked Teacup Tower Centerpieces

When it comes to party centrepieces, let’s try a teacup tower, which you can make by stacking several teacups in odd directions. In between, you can tuck in fresh flowers or string lights to add a dreamery touch.

8. Teapot Flower Vases

To make the tables set up more interesting, you may find turning ordinary teapots into floral vases an interesting idea. You can fill them with roses, daisies, or baby’s breath, etc.

9. Teacup Candle Holders

Consider using antique teacups to hold tealight candles at your party. When being lit, they will cast a soft, dreamy glow — perfect for an Alice in Wonderland vibe.

10. Mad Hatter’s Quote Frame

How about the wall? We recommend using vintage frames with classic tea party quotes such as:

• We’re all mad here
• It’s always tea time
• …

Delicious Food and Drink ideas

Food and drink at an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party should be as unexpected and imaginative as the decor, so let’s discover some quirky ideas to inspire your menu.

11. Mini Stacked Teacup Cakes

Let’s start with cupcakes that look like a teacup by using cupcake holders or wrappers that look like miniature teacups. You should choose those in fun, mismatched colors. 

12. Teapot-Shaped Sandwiches

You may want to use a cookie cutter shaped like a teapot to cut your tea sandwiches. It works great for both sweet and savory fillings — from cream cheese and cucumber to Nutella and banana.

13. Tea Bag Shaped Cookies

Consider serving cookies in tea bag shapes. It’s a simple but clever way to tie into the tea party theme.

Tip for you: Let’s wrap these cookies in clear bags and use white fondant or tiny die-cut stickers to decorate the tags. Think about  tiny teacup icons, the name of the party or phrases like “Eat Me” in Alice in Wonderland font.

14. Rose Petal Macarons

Another sweet treat for your tea party is light pastel-colored macarons. You can serve them with dried edible rose petals. Not only do they look delicate and dreamy, but they also give a vintage garden feel that suits an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party beautifully.

15. Cheshire Cat Layer Cake

Love Cheshire cat? Let’s bake a layered cake with purple and pink sponge layers, then cover the outside with icing to make it resemble the famous Cheshire grin.

16. Mad Hatter’s Hat Cake Pops

Mad Hatter is a legend – So don’t forget to spoil your tea party table with something to remind all the guests of him. We recommend making mini cake pops that are shaped like the Mad Hatter’s iconic top hat in green, brown, or even purple. Consider a small 10/6 addition on those cake pops to make it truly Mad Hatter’s..

17. Jam Tarts

Of course, no Alice in Wonderland Tea Party would be complete without the Queen of Hearts’ jam tarts. You may want to mix up the fillings to make your dessert table look more colorful:

• Strawberry jam for a bright red touch
• Raspberry jam for a deeper, rich hue
• Blueberry jam for something cool and unexpected

Want a little extra charm? You may need to cut the top crust into little heart shapes before baking.

18. Vintage Clock Face Cupcakes

Another cupcake idea – vintage clocks. You can either top them with paper or a fondant clock. 

Want to make a bigger impact? Consider a toothpick topper saying “Eat Me”.

You can easily make it by print or buy small circle stickers with vintage designs or Alice-inspired lettering. Stick these stickers on cardstock, attach to toothpicks, and place them on the cupcakes. 

19. Color Changing Lemonade

When it comes to drink, you should serve lemonade and show a cool science-style trick: color changing. 

Butterfly pea flower tea can be used as the base, then you add lemonade to make its color change from blue to purple. Kids and adults alike will love this surprise.

20. “Drink Me” Potion Bottles

At a tea party with an Alcie in Wonderland theme, colorful juices are the best drink to serve. However, make it differently by using small bottles or jars with labels saying “Drink Me” to carry the drink.

To easily label them, we recommend using:

• Clear stickers for a clean, floating-letter effect on glass
• Transfer stickers if you prefer a printed-on look without label edges
• Small string tags with guest names to double as drink markers

These small decorations make your Alice in Wonderland Tea Party drinks table stand out and on the theme.

Lively games and activities

A good Tea Party in Alice in Wonderland theme needs to keep guests entertained with quirky games and activities:

21. Teacup Relay Race

You may want to set up a simple relay where players race while carrying a teacup filled with water. The goal? Get to the finish line without spilling. It might be slightly chaotic yet fun, and most important, it fits the Wonderland vibe perfectly.

22. Musical Teacups

This activity is similar to Musical Chairs. You will have guests walking around a tea table while music plays. When it stops, everyone grabs a seat — but one spot holds the special teacup. Whoever lands there wins a small prize.

23. Who Said That? Quote Challenge

For this challenge, you will need to print out famous quotes from Alice in Wonderland. We recommend quotes like “We’re all mad here” or “Curiouser and curiouser”. Your guests can guess who said each line, competing in a fun Wonderland knowledge.

24. Mad Hatter Hat Decorating

Let’s think about a DIY station where you offer paper hats, glue, ribbons, and fake flowers for guests to craft their own Mad Hatter hats.

These little additions turn a plain head into a personalized keepsake that guests can bring home after leaving your Alice in Wonderland Tea Party.
