I would get old plates and candle holders. If you glue the candle holder to the bottom of the plate it makes something like a cake plate. I usually make 3 in varying sizes and stack them. Then you can put food on there. I made some for my dd's 8th birthday.

that sounds like an awesome idea! i am going thrifting tomorrow...so hopefully i can finish my "list". I am thinking:

candle stick holders
tea cups/saucers
mix match silverware (needed some of this anyway)
large punch bowl/cups/ladle
vintage necklaces
lace table cloths

dress up boys vest/tie

funky hats or hair pieces

now i am just unsure of the location? i know i want it to be outside....but park with covered picnic area? there is a nicer park with an ampitheater and pool?

My daughter had an AIW theme 16th b-day party. It was awesome...a little more grown up...We twisted the theme to "We're All Mad Here" We made key chains with the party theme for the guest...it was cool. Lining the driveway we had LARGE cards that we made from posterboard with a bubble machine hooked up. There were signs pointing people in aa directions but little rabbit footprints that led the correct way. The back yard was full of bright lanterns and I took tea cups 7 saucers and hot glued them onto dowels & stuck them all through the garden. We had flamingos and a croquet area...of course my daughter dressed up as Alice for the first part...then we had a metal band take the stage...their name of course :"Instant Madness" I had balloons inside with images cut out from the book hanging off of them...ummmmm...a topsy turvey cake, cupcakes that said eat me, bottle of water with tags that said drink me...I'll have to find the photos...
