Alice In Wonderland Party Ideas For Adults

As someone who has thrown several themed parties, I can confidently say that one of the most enjoyable themes to plan for is Alice In Wonderland. The whimsical and surreal nature of the story allows for endless creativity and opportunities for guests to fully immerse themselves in the theme. In this article, I will share some of my top tips and ideas for throwing an Alice In Wonderland party for adults.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Invitations

Start by sending out invitations that are in line with the theme. You can use quotes from the book or create invitations that resemble playing cards or teacups. Be sure to include dress code suggestions to encourage guests to fully embrace the theme.

2. Decorations

The decorations are key to creating an immersive atmosphere. Use colorful tablecloths, mismatched teapots, and cups, and set up a photo booth area with props like oversized top hats, pocket watches, and giant playing cards. You can also create a “Rabbit Hole” entrance for guests to walk through.

3. Food and Drink

When it comes to food and drink, the possibilities are endless. Serve tea and finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and mini tarts. You can also create a “Drink Me” station with different colored drinks or set up a Mad Hatter’s cocktail bar. Don’t forget to include a cake that resembles the iconic “Eat Me” cake from the story.

4. Entertainment

Keep guests entertained with activities such as croquet, flamingo croquet, and a game of “Pin the Grin on the Cheshire Cat”. You can also have a Mad Hatter’s hat-making station, where guests can create their own hats to wear throughout the party.
