Alice in Wonderland Party ideas

At an Alice in Wonderland Party the possibilities for fun are endless! It’s not just your regular Tea Party, it’s the perfect chance to get a surreal and enchanting experience for your guests! 

We love this kind of party as it offers a fantastical experience inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic tale with the unforgettable and eccentric characters like the white rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, and Queen of Hearts, each with distinct personalities that can be reflected at your event.

Here’s how you can offer an immersive and original event, combining imaginative decorations, engaging activities, themed food like the one Alice eats or drink in the book. 

Get your guests into an immersive atmosphere and your Alice in Wonderland party will transport them into a world of wonder and delight! Here are some ideas from The Party Ville team to ensure the best decorations and a wildly entertaining time:

A Mad Tea Party table: Use mismatched mismatched cups, saucers, and teapots as centerpieces on tables as in the movie adaptations of Alice’s. Add playing card motifs or floral designs for an eclectic look,  colorful tablecloths mixing bold colors and patterns.

Tea Party Props: This is the perfect occasion to disguise and play with oversized playing cards, giant pocket watches, big top hats, and teacup centerpieces around the area. Let your guests get in character!

Rabbit Hole Entrance: Craft an entryway resembling the rabbit hole Alice’s falls into, it could be only carton board signs with directions, or simulating a tunnel with curtains, or a decorated archway with a sign that says “Down the Rabbit Hole.”

“Eat Me” Treats: themed food is very important in this event as it plays a key piece in the story. Serve small, labeled treats like mini cupcakes, cookies, or sandwiches with “Eat Me” phrases drawn. A “Drink Me Station”,could also complement the experience; include colorful and unique beverages in bottles or teacups with “Drink Me” labels, we suggest flavored teas, lemonades, or fruit punches.

Costume dress code & contest: invite your guests to dress up as of course, Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, etc. If they get enough encouraged you can make a costume contest; for the less engaged or guests in a rush like the Mad Hatter,  provide simple costume accessories for those who may not come in full attire.

Riddle game:  As Alice gets philosophical through her adventure, create a puzzle or riddle treasure hunt around the venue for guests to solve and answer simple propositions related to the book topics.

Trivia game: Alice’s adventure has had various movie an TV adaptations, test your guests with a one-to-one trivia game about all of them, who’s the biggest Alice fan between your guests?

Design your own item: as Alice in Wonderland is a colorful, playful and even magical theme, you can let your guests explore your creativity through the design of an item related to the topic.

Recreate the Queen’s garden: the iconic and evil queen of hearts needs to be present. With giant flowers, enormous playing cards, big paper or carton mushrooms, you can replicate the atmosphere; if your event takes place indoors, don’t forget to make a little maze with artificial bushes,  climbing plants and other green foliage.

The red color, white and light blue colors, big flowers, big clocks, cookies, teapots, violet cats, and everything Alice’s confronts in her wild adventure is welcome in the decorations. 

Remember, the key to a memorable Alice in Wonderland theme party is to embrace the playful and imaginative spirit of the book, encouraging guests to participate in various activities that spark joy and laughter like being in the same room as the Mad Hatter ! Let us help you to make it possible!
