Wild about Wonderland

The Alice Obsession Begins

For me, there has always been something about Alice in Wonderland.  The book, the movies / TV series, the characters, the whimsy and topsy turviness of it all...

I think it all started with the 1985 TV mini-series Alice in Wonderland, with many classic stars like Carol Channing, Lloyd Bridges, and even appearances from Ringo Starr and Sammy Davis Jr. 

(P.S. if you remember this at all - we should be friends!)  

I was about 3-years old during its release and probably watched it 8 trillion times during my childhood.  My mom and I would sing and dance to the songs and I was always mesmerized by the story of Alice's journey.  

However, this TV mini-series version was also a bit dark and creepy - particularly with the Jabberwocky scenes.  Looking back, this was always an aspect of Alice in Wonderland that I was drawn to.  It's interesting to think about the story, as an adult, and how much symbolism there is for the journey of life, with its twists and turns, interesting people that cross your path, and the many choices you must make.

Alice and her story continued to influence me through the years via Halloween costumes, collecting unique Alice items, and even having a loosely-based Alice theme at my wedding.

Decorate to Set the Scene

Of course no Alice in Wonderland party is complete without the classic "Eat Me" / "Drink Me" tags to spark a little curiosity.

These mini "Drink me" bottles and "Eat Me" cake domes are so perfectly dainty for your Alice tablescape.  The domes are just the right size for mini cupcakes, macaroons, or chocolate truffles.  Alternatively, send your guests home with these mini cake domes as a sweet favor! 

If you are considering including some props from around your home, try adding some antique teapots, topiaries, and clocks.  Top your table off with some fresh or faux red roses, in honor of the Queen of Hearts.

If weather permits and you are able, try hosting your Alice themed party outdoors!  A garden setting adds the perfect natural ambiance for Alice's tea party, and gives you many places to display these adorable Alice props.
