Lucy’s Teapot Party
When I first asked Lucy what kind of party she wanted for her 3rd birthday and her response was “teapot party!” I was thrilled. I love when the girls give me a theme I can run with and even better when I already have most of the decor needed to pull it off extravagantly.
A few extra indulgences from Temu (like the plastic tiered stands for the kids table, and cute little teapot party bags) and I could have fun setting up the most beautiful little tea party scene for Lucy and her friends!
Above the party entrance, a cardboard teapot cutout that read “Tea for Three” poured out a soft garland of pastel balloons curved around the doorway, leading guests toward a giant teacup sign that read “Happy Birthday Lucy.” It was playful, a little bit fancy, and full of love—just like Lucy herself.
Fun little spaces around the space that invited the kids to play.
The kids' table was the heart of the celebration, styled like a page from a storybook. A long table stretched across the lawn, dressed in a delicate floral tablecloth and a flowing blush pink runner that trailed gently onto the grass. Each place setting featured vintage-inspired paper teacups and saucers, dainty floral plates, and pastel treats arranged on tiered cake stands.
The centrepiece? A mix of fresh garden blooms and tiny teapots filled with flowers—simple, but oh-so-sweet.
For the kids treats we had:
Fruit Kebabs
Fairy bread (how can you not!)
Mini Pikelets with Piped Mascarpone Whipped Cream and a frozen raspberry on top
Macarons
Sausage rolls
Mini Quiches
Mini “Chocolate” Cupcakes sweetened with applesauce
The cutest little Teacup biscuits that Bella (4.5yrs old) was able to make completely by herself!
Rosy cupcakes (Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free and Dairy Free Recipe by Sweet Laurel) were served in tiny teacups, their swirled frosting blooming like garden petals—almost too pretty to eat.
Delicate cheesecake cups topped with chocolate roses and butterflies added the sweetest touch of whimsy to our tea party spread.
No tea party is complete without a show-stopping cake, and Lucy’s was just as sweet as she is. We chose a soft pink buttercream finish (my first time doing buttercream with a no sugar option using Monkfruit sweetner!), perfectly imperfect and full of charm—just like the rest of the day. Nestled on top were blush roses picked fresh from the garden and the prettiest porcelain teapot, making the cake feel like it had been plucked straight from a storybook tea table. A little golden “3” candle perched beside it, marking Lucy’s milestone with sparkle and delight. Her smile said it all—the cake was everything a three-year-old tea party queen could hope for.
The whole setup was designed to make the little ones feel special, like they'd stepped into a secret garden made just for them. From the miniature chairs to the real china and fairy-sized food, every detail whispered, this moment matters.
As the party came to a close, each little guest was gifted a pastel teapot-shaped party box to take home—a final touch of magic to remember the day by. Tied with soft organza ribbon and decorated with floral details, these dainty boxes held tiny treats and treasures inside. More than just favours, they were a little piece of the celebration to carry home—because every good tea party should end with something sweet.
