Creative Tea Sandwiches
Consider using cookie cutters to fit the theme of your tea party.
- We used Wilton dog cookie cutters for our 101 Dalmatians themed party.
- For Mary Poppins we served traditional round and triangle shapes, but an umbrella, daisy, or balloon shape would be perfect.
- For a Winnie the Pooh picnic, try a shirt shape, a sunflower, a balloon, or a teddy bear.
- For an Alice in Wonderland party, create a chess board or checker board by cutting two different colored sandwiches into small squares. Top each square with an olive or cherry tomato.
