Get some small colored bottles with corks from the dollars store and fill with lemonade, icetea etc.... and label with tags that say "Drink Me to Grow Bigger & Drink Me to Shrink Smaller". Get a dowel or 1" × 1" × 4' piece of molding (or size of your choice), white posterboard to make various size arrows and write signs..."Mad Hatter's Tea Party ,Here, Wrong Way, Down Here, This Way, Up Here, We'Re aLL mAdeHerE, Not This Way etc...attach the arrows to the dowel. You can put it in the grow outside or put it in a pail filled with rocks, marbles or attach to two cross pieces of wood slats to stand it up. Paint a small branch white, out of card stock paper cut out various size clock shapes, white circles for clock face, buy black number stickers, clue to clock shaoes and hang on branch. Go to www.Pinterest.com and search Mad Hatter Tea Party ideas for a ton of other DIY decor ideas, foods etc....

Pintrest is your best bet for ideas and free printables.

Reminds me of an outdoor tea party I had for friends (30-50 year old women). We all dressed up in old-fashioned clothes (mostly from thrift stores) -- long skirts or dresses, big hats, white gloves. I put blankets on the ground and we played croquet in white gloves! It looked like a Monet painting and we had a blast! No decorating needed.
