Daughter/Mother/Grandmother Tea Party

I am a Spark and Brownie leader from Oshawa, Ontario.

Recycling is a big part of my crafting ideas.

Daughter/ Mother (Grandmother) Tea Party

This is ideal for all branches including adults.

We had each girl make a garden bonnet for herself and mom as well as invitations at a previous meeting.( paper plates or straw hats )

The pair would bake a treat together at home for the tea party.

The hall was set up with tables and chairs (4 per table), decorated with flowers, tea pots (filled with juice..... actual tea provided at another table) tea cups (or Styrofoam cups) and place cards.

The place cards were set so moms could meet new moms they normally would not interact with.

Word games or memory games ( the girls input on what type of games) were played. Name that flower was very interesting for moms..... the girls won that round.( lol).

This theme could go many, many different ways.

It was one of our funniest and best meetings.

Note: My daughter is in my Spark unit. We gave her the option of inviting Grandma or that I would not be a leader that night, I would be Mommy. Being a Guider is great (my daughter loves it) but being a Mommy is a blessing. The other leaders will understand, whether you are the Contact Guider or not. BE A MOMMY THAT NIGHT.
