Wild About Wonderland: Adventures in Wonderland Party Ideas & Planning Guide
The Alice Obsession Begins: Planning a Wonderland Party
There has always been something magical about Alice in Wonderland — the whimsical characters, the unexpected adventures, and the feeling of stepping into a world where imagination has no limits.
My love for Alice began with the 1985 television mini-series, which featured an unforgettable cast including Carol Channing, Lloyd Bridges, Ringo Starr, and Sammy Davis Jr. (If you remember this version, we might just be kindred spirits!). I was only about three years old when it first aired, but it quickly became one of those childhood favorites I returned to again and again. My mom and I would sing along to the songs, and I was completely captivated by Alice’s curious journey.
Of course, the story wasn’t without its mysterious and slightly spooky moments — especially the unforgettable Jabberwocky scenes — which added another layer of wonder and intrigue. Looking back as an adult, I understand even more why Alice’s adventures have remained so timeless. The story is full of life’s unexpected twists, fascinating characters, and moments that remind us to stay curious and embrace the unknown.
My Alice obsession never disappeared. Over the years, Wonderland has followed me through Halloween costumes, whimsical treasures, and even subtle Alice-inspired details woven into my own wedding. It has always held a special place in my heart.
And naturally, when creating Très Chic Party Boutique, an Alice Adventures in Wonderland Party Collection was a must-have!
Create a Whimsical Wonderland-Inspired Party Table
Planning an Adventures in Wonderland themed party is all about embracing curiosity, creativity, and unexpected details. With so many iconic characters and symbols from the story, the possibilities are truly endless.
Start by setting the perfect foundation with your party table decor. A beautiful table covering instantly transforms your space and creates the perfect Wonderland setting. Whether you choose a whimsical grass table runner, a classic black and white checkered plastic fitted table cover, or a charming Alice-inspired paper tablecloth, each option brings the magic of Wonderland to life.
Next, mix and match Truly Alice plates, napkins, and party accessories in different patterns and sizes to create a tablescape that feels playful and unique.
From teapots and clocks to the White Rabbit and Queen of Hearts, Wonderland is filled with memorable details that make decorating so much fun. Add special touches like teapot cupcake stands, White Rabbit plates, or a whimsical teapot garland to make your celebration feel like it came straight from the pages of the story.
Decorate Your Wonderland Party Space
No Wonderland-inspired party would be complete without a few classic details — especially the famous “Eat Me” and “Drink Me” touches that instantly spark curiosity.
Mini "Drink me" bottles and "Eat Me" cake domes make the perfect additions to your dessert table or Alice-inspired centerpiece. The adorable mini domes are ideal for displaying cupcakes, macarons, cookies, or chocolate treats. They also double as a charming party favor your guests can take home!
For even more Wonderland charm, look around your home for vintage-inspired pieces that help bring the story to life. Antique teapots, clocks, playing cards, topiaries, and whimsical garden accents all add to the magical atmosphere. Finish your table with fresh or faux red roses — a perfect nod to the Queen of Hearts.
If the weather allows, consider hosting your Adventures in Wonderland party outdoors. A garden setting creates the perfect backdrop for an enchanted tea party and gives you even more room to display your Wonderland-inspired decorations.
