8 Lovely Tea Party Ideas...

My sweet friend Shawna tweeted the prettiest photo of her nieces’s Tea Party and I was instantly inspired to write a post about lovely tea party ideas. But I knew that she was the one who could inspire us all the most with her words, fun photos, and ideas. I’m so happy that Shawna is here today to give us all some inspiration on how to not only Host a lovely tea party but how to have a great gathering with family and friends…

“Hi everyone! It is Shawna from Poppies and Sunshine and I am so honored to be guest posting again here at All Women Stalk! Today I am going to share with you 8 Tea Party Ideas! I think tea parties are wonderful to have no matter how old you are! They are a great way to socialize with friends in a special setting. tea parties do not have an exact science. The most important thing is to have fun with the whole process!”

1. Choosing a Theme: Fun Tea Party Ideas…

“This isn’t necessary, but can be lots of fun! You can choose just about any theme for a tea Party, such as the alice in wonderland theme pictured above with all the clocks. If you enjoy literature, have a book-themed tea party. Like Paris? Have a french theme!”

    I enjoyed your site. I have given tea parties with different themes – great fun and my friends always are excited to come. Next Sat afternoon I am having a small – 8 ... See more of us – I am calling, A Gathering of Book Women, Tea and Books. We will have tea and talk about books we have recently read. Since I want the primary interest on books, this won’t be a formal afternoon tea. And since I work and have time after time over planned and exhausted myself, I went to the British Isles Market in Rice Village (Houston) and bought teas in sachets, cheese straws, several kinds of “biscuits”, and will make some little sandwiches. I’m thinking the wonderful women I have invited will be relieved that I didn’t put out a large home made spread. I even found there some darling paper napkins that to all the world look like linen! The tea party will have good tea, tasty imported biscuits, – sweet and savory — and a couple of little sandwiches – your cucumber/mint/butter sounds good…and books, books, books. Keep up the good work promoting tea parties! Patricia

    I once had a bridal tea event in a swank hotel in San Francisco. Between vendors getting up and talking about photography, cakes, flowers, etc., a flock of models cruised through the tea room ... See more in vintage wedding gowns while a string quartet did their thing. If I had to do it all over again I’d probably incorporate more of a Gatsby theme, and bring my own China.
