I am ahead of the game invites are done for the most part and i absolutely love them .
Each person will be getting there invite on a silver tray, i still have to put on final touches but it will look like this each will get a top hat, tea cup, tea, invite, clock and then a few other details i will figure out later
Each invite also has a book mark inside the invite
and then i made these to sit on tray
The front they will open
Here are the top hats i am working on for the invites and a few for decorations
They were paper mache hats i added the material next to decorate each one
Here is the hat i will be wearing i still want to put some black Gothic material behind the purple material that hangs down the back.
I love the hat pins i made for this
You can also use blockposters.com to make large standees, instead of buying them, and either printing them out yourself and paste on cardboard or have a print shop like office depot print them. I made the hare like this in pic below. Super cheap. You can make big teapots with 2 laundry baskets from dollar tree wrapped in red duct tape also from dollartree. I also paper mached the evil teapot with the pvc legs.....that one was trickier to make! Hubs helped with that one.

Matrixmom, I love your ideas here. I see Peeping Thomas gets around . BTW the upside down lamp shade turned into a top hat floor lamp is fabulous!
Cool i love the tea pot idea
some of the projects I plan on making are mushrooms from pinknfoam, giant tea cups from planters pot ,giant flowers with faces
I keep looking at these cool fabric mushrooms on Pinterest and they always put my in mind of Wonderland.
The other day I get an idea to creat some wonderland artifacts to put under glass cloches. One will be a chipped abandoned tea cup resting among some whimsical mushrooms and other Flora with an ID tagging it as one of the Hatter's tea cups. In another could be a bloody playing card and White Rose for the Queen of hearts. Then maybe a little vial with a drink me label for Alice, and a hookah and little slipper for the caterpillar. And in another a white Queen chess piece. All of them would be nestled in the center with the crazy wonderland plants growing in around them.
Any way I thought your party would be a great place for something like that.
OK i have decided i am going with a Gothic Mad hatter party Gothic is in my blood so this will be awesome to do
I got 2 purple chandelier i will get pics of them that will be perfect for this
This stuff is really good I'm impressed. You should make like huge mushrooms and stuff as decorations too. Sense you are already going all out might as well go even farther haha.
Couldn't help but notice the mention of giant mushrooms. I recall the old Fright Fest NW ML having major discussions over the course of 2 years on doing those. So many suggestions on how to but in the end I don't think anyone actually made any will be interested to see how you'll do it.
ya the other thing i am thinking is when said and done how easy can i get rid of it cause i do not do the same theme but will forusre post up what i do for you guys to see when i start working on it in spring
