Jane Austen Birthday Party: Guess How Many Sugar Cubes

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. I went back to my earlier ideas of creating a Jane Austen Guess Who Game, but decided against it as it seemed too hard for my group of friends that were attending. Unfortunately all my friends who actually Jane Austen fans were unable to attend. So I thought for a while and decided to go with an old wedding shower/baby shower favorite: Guess How Many Sugar Cubes.

So with this game you usually have a jar, or other clear/see-through containers with a lid and fill it with some type of candy, or objects, and have people guess how many are in the container. As this was a tea related party, I used my glass teapot (and I covered the openings with tape to make sure no bugs came in). I fit 125 sugar cubes in my teapot.

People had a lot of fun with this, and my Tia actually guessed the exact number of how many sugar cubes were in the teapot. She chose prize one.

I know I’m sure you all wondering what else could I possibly share but I’m not done! I still have one more game, my music choices, my hair, my regency dress, and what kind of 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.
