Alice in Wonderland Party Invitations

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.S.V.P. to the Queen of Hearts!

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!
  • Doily Crowns cut strips of cardstock poster, have guests color or decorate 3 doilies (1 large and 2 small). Then fold the doilies in half and glue onto the long strip that will be the band around the guests head.
  • 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.
  • Flamingo Croquet set up a regular croquet game with multiple tea off points. For the croquet mallets you can use either the regular with the flamingos beside watching or if your guests are gentle you could use the flamingo for the mallet itself. You can often find the flamingos at discount stores in the spring.
  • Where's the White Rabbit Scavenger Hunt find old keys at an antique shop and attach a long ribbon to each. At the end of the ribbon place a card with the clue to your guests next hiding place. Try to have enough keys for each guest to solve the mystery of where to go to find the white rabbit.
  • Card Corn Hole Game create out of light wood or a thick cardboard. have the holes correspond with the number on the card itself. Create the holes to look like hearts for the Queen of Hearts. Have a little basket of beanbags for the guest to toss.
  • Decorate a Tea Cup to take home. Set up a station with lots of mugs and a basket with a jumbo pack of Sharpie permanent markers
  • Painting the White Roses Red have a painting station set up with artificial flowers, paint brushes and acrylic paint. I would also supply some type of painters shirt or apron for your guests wo wear while painting.
  • Watch the movie Alice in Wonderland



Alice in Wonderland Party Food

  • Get different sized glass pitchers with different flavored Kool-aide and label the pitchers with “Drink Me”
  • Have cute sayings on the side of your food dishes. Like "White Rabbit Snacks" on the side of a dish with different sized carrots and radishes
  • "Mad Hatter Cucumber Sandwiches" with cucumber, fetta and a cherry tomato on top. Hold together with a decorative umbrella

  • "Caterpillar Puffs" on the side of Cheetoes
