Tips For Throwing The Perfect Tea Party
2

• Tea parties are all the rage nowadays, with many
  people even having tea party themed weddings,
  albeit with teapots filled to the brim with
  vodka, rather than tea! If you want to keep on
  top of party trends but are more interested in
  going down the traditional route, then follow
  this short guide to throwing the perfect tea
  party

• Set the scene First things first, you need to
  think about whether your party will be indoors or
  outdoors, and of course nature may just take that
  decision out of your hands! For an indoor evening
  tea party, you might want to create a soothing
  atmosphere with fairy lights and candles, and
  decorate the room with traditional items such as
  lace tablecloths or bunting.
• If youre venturing outside, then you
  could think about setting up a table and
  chairs on an even surface, or you could simply
  throw down a blanket and have your tea party
  guests sit on the floor as they would if you were
  holding a picnic.

• Choose a dress code This may be a tea party, but
  its still a party, and what better way to keep
  things interesting than by having a dress code or
  a fancy dress theme.
• Select the tea Your tea party guests will
  doubtless all have different preferences when it
  comes to their favorite teas, so you will want to
  offer them a wide selection. Some prefer tea
  bags, while others like to keep up traditions
  with loose leafed tea, or you could ask your
  guests to bring along their own favorite tea.
  Dont be afraid to experiment what better time
  to try out a new tea than at a tea party.

• Make sure there are enough teapots and cups for
  every guest Now this might seem obvious, but how
  many of us own more than one teapot? We all
  accrue teacups and mugs over the years, but
  teapots are perhaps something that we tend to
  have just one of. You could really go to town and
  purchase brand new tea sets, or you could take a
  trip to your local online store and buy some mix
  and match sets. Whatever takes your fancy, just
  make sure that there are enough to go round.

6

• Select some tasty treats The main theme of your
  party is of course tea, but your guests will
  expect a snack or two and its up to you how much
  you want to provide. Traditionally, tea parties
  would involve plates of finger sandwiches or a
  selection of small cakes and pastries, with
  everything being bite sized, but if you want to
  break tradition and offer your guests something
  else, you can be as creative and imaginative as
  you wish.
