Having a Tea party was an old custom but now its slowly coming back and a lot of people are going for it. Whether you want to celebrate a birthday, wedding anniversary or just a get together with friends, Tea party is a brilliant idea.
Plan A Theme:
If a tea party is thrown for the kids then its good to have a theme planned. Choose a theme like Alice in wonderland or Cinderella, use theme painted tea set, cutlery and table napkins. With a little more effort you can create a doll house and have the kids sit inside. For adults you can choose themes like Valentines' day or choose them according to the occasion.
Tea Party Invitations:
Make your tea party invitations very attractive. Think out of the box. Get the cards made like a cup and saucer, tea cozy or tea bags. This will really amuse your guests and they'll be excited to join your party.
Garden Tea Party:
Plan the tea party in your garden. Arrange beautiful garden furniture. The guests will like sipping on hot tea while sitting in the cool breeze of the garden.
British Style Tea Party:
Having tea parties was an old British custom. Throw your tea party with old British theme. Choose similar tea set, furniture and food and ask your guests to come dressed in similar attire going by the theme.
Food Planning:
It's a tea party, so planning the right food is very necessary. Make sure it's nothing too heavy which kills the need for dinner or too light which leaves the guests hungry. Vegetable and cheese sandwiches, cookies, pastries, vegetable or meat puffs, cakes are ideal snacks for a tea party.
Book Reading Sessions:
You can have some intellectual activity for your tea party. Have a book reading session where all the guests read some part of their favorite book of prose or poetry. It's a great idea of sharing some knowledge while having fun.
Confessions:
You can also have your guests open up and make some confessions, good or bad but in a subtle way just for the fun of it.
Tea parties always remind of that old elegant style of celebration. With the above ideas you can also bring that old world charm back to your modern lifestyle.
