Monthly Theme Parties

Over the Teacup is an innovator, dedicated to introducing the art of afternoon tea to all generations. Perhaps a little ahead of its time, we believe it is time to show that taking tea does not have to be stuffy all the time. Tea can have a touch of whimsy; therefore, there are occasions when you may be invited to dress in a special way to carry out the theme, or to decorate an article of clothing to set the tone during these monthly teas. We sometimes break the rules, but a Tealightful time is always had.

Of course there are themes that are of a more serious nature and elegance reigns.

Dates will be announced for Theme Teas and Special Seasonal Events.
Please contact us for a current calendar or to get on our mailing list.

Whatever your pleasure, you are sure to find it all.

Children’s Birthday Parties

What a fun way to introduce your child to the world of tea! Children who are in first grade or older are encouraged to invite 6 - 10 of their friends and come to tea. Hats, boas, jewelry, and purses await them as they dress up for a time of play. An afternoon tea menu consisting of child friendly food is served on china in the traditional English style tea fashion.

Each party is personalized to reflect the interest of your child. You choose the theme. We love a challenge! Our decorative touches will make your child’s party uniquely hers. No two parties are ever alike even if choosing a theme that has been presented before.

Depending on the package plan selected we will provide:

  • A child's afternoon tea menu
  • Dress up items (as stated above)
  • A few rules of etiquette (after all this is a party)
  • Birthday Cake
  • Favors
  • Decorative touches/coordinated party theme material throughout
