Happy Unbirthday! Let your imagination go wild when planning your Alice in Wonderland Party. This a great theme for birthday parties and is especially awesome for a half birthday party (Unbirthday party). Always remember that anything is possible in Wonderland!
To make homemade Alice in Wonderland Invitations make a Golden Stop Watch out of cardstock paper. Instead of time by hours have years on the stop watch (e.g., 1 year old, 2 years old, etc.). Add on red hour and minute hands pointing to the birthday boy/girl’s age (make with construction paper and glue to the right age). On the backside write your party info:
“Your invited to a very important date! Don't be late!” “R.R.S.P. to the Queen of Hearts!”
Or, use the above pre-made Alice in Wonderland / Queen of Hearts invitations. Have the Queen, King and Jack from a deck of cards for the picture on the invitation.
Alice in Wonderland Party Supplies and Decorations
Set up a large tea table with lots of different chairs and different teapots and cups (you can get different colored child sized chairs at dollar type stores)
Make a tunnel to enter party room (you can get a great one at Ikea)
Paint butch block paper to look like trees and put the Cheshire cat in it, extra large flowers, flamingos, a picket fence around the tea area, etc.

Alice in Wonderland Party Games and Activities
Croquet Play outside the regular way or you could use umbrellas as the mallet
Pin the smile on the Cheshire Cat. Play like pin the tail on the donkey
Paint your own tea cup or tea pot (use special paint from your local craft store)
Race of the Roses Who can paint their rose red the fastest (use markers and an artificial white rose)
Golden Key Scavenger Hunt Hide a number of golden keys for your guests to find them (if the kids are young you could have the kids find a certain color of key, so they can each find a key)
Musical Painting Display different pictures for the kids to try to paint on canvas. Do this like musical chairs, when the music stops they need to move to the next painting. When the game is done, you'll have some really unique paintings!
Rabbit Race Potato sack race. Try not to be late!
Tea Race Use a tea cup, fill it with water and race to the tea pot and whoever fills it first wins
Stackable Balance Put stacks of plastic plates of different sizes and bowls in front of all the guests. You call out which piece to stack first and continue to stack dishes in strange orders (if your dishes topple over you are out). Whoever stacks the most wins.
