6 Year Old Tea Party

This year, we have decided to do an in-home birthday party for my 6 year old daughter. I would like to do a little tea party theme. I am thinking of finger sandwiches, tea/punch, princess dresses, games, crafts. I am not the most creative person, so seeking some ideas from other mothers. Mind you, I will be 37 weeks pregnant when hosting this party.
