Aside from doing the general Google search on tea party themes, decor, etc. there are a few major things that have inspired me as I plan my party.
This was the original, if you can believe it! I came across this TV commercial on YouTube years ago and the fun little song and idea got stuck in my head. I knew one day I would have my own “tea paaaaarrrrtay!”
As I was searching YouTube to find this video again to share, I actually stumbled across the following awesome music video by Kerli! How surprised was I to find this!?!? Kerli is actually one of my favourite artists, and the fact that she has this awesome vid and song just reinforces why I love her! (Check her out here!)
And the lyrics for your aural pleasure:
Welcome to the Tea Party
Want to be my VIP?
You didn’t RSVP
That’s ok, that’s ok
Welcome to the Tea Party
(oh oh, oh oh)
Want to be my VIP?
When I all steamed up,
Hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out
Your appetite is flex
I got the table set
Don’t get your dribble on my T-t-table yet
I got the goodies baked
Got more than you can take
Just try and nibble on my biscuits and my rainbow cake
Let’s be traditional
And non commissional
Got my elbows down, pinkies up
That’s the way you sip my cup
Welcome to the Tea Party
(oh oh, oh oh)
Want to be my VIP?
(oh oh, oh oh)
You didn’t RSVP
(oh oh, oh oh)
That’s ok, that’s ok
(oh oh, oh oh)
Welcome to the Tea Party
(oh oh, oh oh)
Want to be my VIP?
When I all steamed up, hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out
Try not to move so fast
You know the sir comes last
I’m the lady fatha mucka try to show some class
Don’t drink the last cup
We keep it boiling hot
We keep the party moving till we drink the last drop
Let’s be traditional
And non commissional
Got my elbows down, pinkies up
That’s the way you sip my cup
Welcome to the Tea Party
(oh oh, oh oh)
Want to be my VIP?
(oh oh, oh oh)
You didn’t RSVP
(oh oh, oh oh)
That’s ok, that’s ok
(oh oh, oh oh)
Welcome to the Tea Party
(oh oh, oh oh)
Want to be my VIP?
When I all steamed up, hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out
I know this night is like no other
You’re not just another
I know it’s only getting better
As long as we’re together
I know this night is like no other
You’re not just another
Welcome to the Tea Party
(oh oh, oh oh)
Want to be my VIP?
(oh oh, oh oh)
You didn’t RSVP
(oh oh, oh oh)
That’s ok, that’s ok
(oh oh, oh oh)
Welcome to the Tea Party
(oh oh, oh oh)
Want to be my VIP?
When I all steamed up, hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out
And finally, a fellow blogger and creatrix extraordinaire Doe Deere of LimeCrime held her own candyfuturistic tea party not long ago and it looked fabulous! While my party may not be quite so extravagant, I really like that she was able to meld traditional and non-traditional elements into her party:
