Where to get tea cups for birthday party?

I am throwing a tea party for my daughter's 5th bday. Is there somewhere I can find bulk tea sets? I'm expecting about 11-13 kids and all I've found are full sets for 4. Thanks!

1. Hi, I also gave my daughter a tea party for her 5th birthday! Because I didn't want to spend gobs of money on special tea sets, and I didn't want to worry about my things getting broken, I bought a couple sets of china at some local thrift stores. I got one set that had a full service for 8 including dinner plates and serving bowls and platters for under $20. I also bought several other cup and saucer sets that only had 2 or 3 in the sets. Teapots abound also in these types of second hand stores, flee markets and yard sales. I then didn't care if something was dropped, mixing and matching the china was fun and the girls felt extra, extra special using real china! If you don't want to buy the china, you might consider hostessing a 'bring your favorite tea cup' party.
