Plan a tea party birthday in Michigan.
Tea parties are one of the only places a modern girl can get away with wearing white gloves, though it isn't always required. Tea party birthdays give girls a place to practice old-fashioned etiquette and table manners. Many Michigan tea rooms are available for birthday parties, scout meetings or other events for kids. Does this Spark an idea?
Crazy Wisdom
