Jane Austen Birthday Party: What’s in Your Purse Game

So as you know if you have been following my page, I just celebrated my 29th birthday with a Jane Austen Garden Tea Party.

In my earlier posts, I have shared invitations, decorations, the menu, piñata, prizes, paper fan making, croquet, and more.

But you can’t have a party without games! The first game was Jane Austen trivia and the second game was a tea tray memory game. For the third game I decided to go with “Guess How Many Sugar Cubes”. For the last game I wanted to do “best dressed”, but my sister refused to help me by judging the winner. So instead we did “What’s In Your Purse?” I had wanted to do a Tea version a friend did a few years ago at a party, but I couldn’t find a copy of it and neither could she. I found this one online instead.

This game is always fun, and of course it just depends on whether the guests brought their big purse or a little one.

The winner received the teapot, honey, and scone mix from the Tea Tray Memory Game.

I know I’m sure you all wondering what else could I possibly share but I’m not done! I still have my music choices, my hair, my regency dress, and what kind of party favors I gave out to to share. Stay tuned!

Jane Austen Birthday Party: Tea Tray Memory Game

Party time!

So as you know if you have been following my page, I just celebrated my 29th birthday with a Jane Austen Garden Tea Party.

In my earlier posts, I have shared invitations, decorations, the menu, piñata, prizes, paper fan making, croquet, and more.

But you can’t have a party without games! In my last post, I shared about the first game, Jane Austen trivia. For the second game I was looking online and I spotted a post by Plum Deluxe about ideas for Tea Party games. One of which was to have a tea tray memory game.

I have played versions of this game in the past at many bridal or baby showers, and a few years ago I did this exact game for a friend’s Spring Tea Party Bridal Shower. This is so easy to do, all you have to do is collect tea themed (or in my case Jane Austen and Tea themed objects). I used the following items:

• “I ❤️ Mr. Darcy“ Clutch Bag (I won in a giveaway by Ellery Adams)
• Hat Pin (from my mysterious packages I received last year)
• Pioneer Woman Wildflower Whimsy Tea Bag Holder
• A Pink Flower Handkerchief (a gift from my Tia Chata
• What Would Jane Do? Quips and Wisdom from Jane Austen
• NovelTea Tins Sense and Senchability Tea
• NovelTea Tins Pride and Peppermint Tea
• Gentlemen Magazine Jane Austen Cover Card
• Mademoiselle Magazine Jane Austen Cover Card
• A Card from Northanger Soapworks
• A String of Pearls
• Cat Teaspoon
• Garden Diary by Héline Ashworth (also from the mysterious packages I received last year)
• The Netherfield Ball Diary/Notebook (a gift from TeaisforTravel when we did the Advent Calendar Tea Exchange)
• A Ring
• A Butter Spreader
• A small jar of jam
• Blueberry Scone Mix
• A Teapot
• A Teacup and Saucer (not featured in the picture)
• A copy of Tea Time Magazine
• A tiny bear of honey
• A Cat Tea Charm Infuser

I wish I had taken a better picture, but I wanted to snap one quick before we played the game.

Oh well…

We had a lot of fun playing this game and people thought it was easier than the trivia game. My friend won this one by getting 17/23, and they chose prize two.
