Alice in Wonderland still fuels imagination in children and adults alike decades after its publication. The Mad Hatter tea party is not only one of the most iconic parts of the book, it is often used as a theme for a real party.

To throw a party, first you must send out invitations. Make the invitations colorful with a tea pot theme or maybe a playing card theme if possible. Use quotes from the book to really set the tone.

Next you must plan the menu. Of course you want tea, make sure to have some non-decaffeinated varieties for those who may be sensitive to it. Make tea party fare such as cucumber sandwiches and desserts. In keeping with the theme, try serving mushrooms. Place "Eat Me" and "Drink Me" signs everywhere to resemble events in the book.

Now it's time for the real fun--the Alice in Wonderland costumes. Someone must absolutely wear an Alice costume. You can buy it with the blue dress with white apron and headband included. Then you will only need socks and shoes of your own to complete. The rabbit that lead Alice to the tea party is also available. Our White Rabbit Costume comes with the full body, rabbit feet, hand mitts, vest, jacket, hat and a watch all in one package. There is also a wicked white rabbit available that is scary and not intended for children.

The Cheshire Cat Costume includes a striped jumpsuit, tail, furry headpiece, paws and shoe covers. The regular adult and adult plus version are available as well as a special tween and even a special Cheshire Catarina costume for the ladies.

The Red Queen costume is a full-length gown with cuffs, black peplum, choker, tiara and even the petticoat for the deluxe version. Less elaborate versions are also available for kids and teens but the full length one really gives a striking vision.

No Alice in Wonderland costume party would be complete without the Mad Hatter costume. There are various colors to choose from, all come with the famous hat and vest. Some come with pants and additional accessories while others are less expensive but require you to have your own pants and accessories.

Get your friends together and have each one dress as a different character. With all sizes available and the high quality materials used, you can have several parties using the same costumes for a fun concept that keeps on giving.
