you love Alice in Wonderland, Mad Hatter tea party ideas may be exactly what you are looking for to celebrate your next event. Alice in Wonderland is a classic fantasy book that was written by Lewis Carroll. Not only has it delighted children and adults alike since it was first published in 1865, it has been the inspiration for several movies, works of art, other books, and …tea parties.
One of the most celebrated scenes in the entire book is the Mad Hatter’s tea. It is a delightful scene of good natured chaos and mayhem, absolute surrealism and enough fantasy to fulfill any childhood need for an ethereal experience. Why was the Mad Hatter’s tea so unique?
You see, people who used to make hats were called hatters and they used chemicals that killed brain cells by the millions. This eventually caused them to lose their minds and become… let’s say… a little weird. Back in Lewis Carroll’s day insanity was called “madness”. So, the character of the Mad Hatter would be a very understandable character to most of the original readers of Carroll’s story. Most city dwellers would have come in contact with a “mad hatter” of their own many times over their lifetimes.
A great way to celebrate a child’s special occasion, or to follow up an afternoon watching Alice in Wonderland, would be a Mad Hatter Tea.
Hosting Alice in Wonderland: Mad Hatter Tea Party Ideas
If you are planning a Mad Hatter Tea of your very own keep in mind that everything needs to be backwards, unexpected, and slightly odd. If you will recall the tea was a celebration of the Mad Hatter’s Unbirthday. It was held in a meadow with an unusual cast of guests.
