How to Host a Witch’s Tea Party

How to host a witch’s tea party

Jennifer of The Party Teacher is here with us again to share how to throw a Witch’s Tea Party! You can read about the party below. But first, make sure to check out all her parties here on Love The Day: Zombie Princess Party, Thanksgiving Dessert Table & Party, Nancy Drew Party, Night Owl Slumber Party, 4th of July Party and Polka Dot Party. Isn’t she just incredible? I sure think so. Here she is explaining how she put this amazing Witch’s Tea Party together.

Did you have a favorite Halloween costume as a child? Mine was a witch costume, sewn by my mom. One of my twin girls feels the same way, and has dressed up as a witch for Halloween three times. (I have no sewing skills, but I can shop with the best of them.)

Those are the memories that inspired my Witch’s Tea Party. I planned this party at the last minute, condensing the steps in by Week-by-Week Party Planning Guide. (Get yours free here!) The girls invited friends, everyone changed into witchy attire, and we had a Halloween-style afternoon tea party.

It’s not too late for you to pull together a Witch’s Tea Party of your own! Just keep the sweets simple, and start ordering your supplies ASAP!

Party Printables

I went searching for black and white, elegant witch printables and of course, Love the Day had just what I needed. I used food labels, party circles, favor tags, and banner letters. Try dressing up your banner letters with pleated crepe paper – it goes much faster than you’d think.

Party Backdrop

The backdrop is just a set of sheer black curtain panels, hung on a tension rod. To that I added a laser-cut wood frame from Michael’s. Paint the frame white, back it with a piece of black 12” x 12” scrapbooking paper, and add a white witch silhouette. (I used my Silhouette Cameo.) Hang the frame with a 3M Command Strip.

Dessert Table

Our desserts were chocolate and vanilla cupcakes (crone cakes) with witch hat fondant toppers, caldron cakepops, “eye of newt” gumballs, and one homemade item: witch’s stockings. (I’ll have the recipe for witch’s stockings up on my blog soon.) Of course, we served green “witch’s brew” instead of tea.

To fill in the dessert table (it doesn’t have to be all sweets!), I used:

Two candlesticks topped with white faux pumpkins, tied with black and white striped ribbon

Black cat with the same ribbon

Black glitter broom

Table Settings

To coordinate the dinning table with the dessert table, I used another white tablecloth. Each place setting has these layers:

Black doily as a placemat

My white ironstone dinner plate, saucer and tea cup

Black rock candy across each tea cup

Dessert plate with Love the Day cling from Create UR Plate – a great way to customize plates for any party

White napkin with home-made napkin ring (black and white ribbon with witch hat button)

Wood fork topped with a black glitter spider

My favorite touch for this party is the witch shoe place cards. My girls and I just painted these black and then had the best time picking out witch names. (I’ll have a whole list of witch names on my blog.) I cut out the names with my Silhouette Cameo and glued them on with Aleene’s Thick Tacky Glue.

 Centerpiece

For the centerpiece, I re-created the idea from my Vintage Tea Party Plan (an e-book that plans an entire tea party birthday for you). It’s all about layering (again!): top a silver tray with older books, and then a teapot with flowers. This time, I used faux black roses. (Tutorial coming to my blog soon.) I added more flowering teapots on either side.

Chair Decorations

I love to dress up my party chairs. It’s just one more surface to decorate! Just make bows with your ribbon and add floral wire to the back. (Tutorial coming to my blog.) Then swag a black feather boa along your chair back and twist tie the bows on either side to hold the boa in place.

Party Favors

I say it’s not a party unless you’re recycling something. This time, it was DollarTree mini composition books from my Junie B. Jones Party. I covered them with parchment paper and a Love the Day “spell book” circle. The spell books and tree branch pencils left over from Christmas went into a kraft paper bag, tied with one of Lindi’s thank you tags.

    Hi Linda! Planning a grown up version of a witches tea. Where can I find the printables? They are so adorable and will Ben perfect for our party. I love Jennifer ‘s idea of everyone selecting a witchy name for the day!
