Tea Party cont...

I only purchased 1 bunch of flowers. I split them up and used them through out my party. I wish I would have had more, but I make the most with what I have! Each table setting is a tad different. The variety of different cups makes for fun conversation and helps you decide where you want to sit. (you tend to choose your favorite tea cup) I also like to do a buffet. This way people can get up and move around. Join in on different conversations.

I was taught how to make gift bags by a talented Blogger friend .She is way more creative than myself!!! Anyhow, they are fun and inexpensive to make.

I hung tea pot's from the chandelier. (they were purchased @ the dollar store)

Stacks of cook books are under 3 yard of fabric. Look for remnants that go with your color sceme. You can always use table cloths, sheets etc. Go and shop around your home and see what you have!

This is set up the night before. I will need the time tomorrow for food and last minute happenings.

I usually figure out my theme, how many guests and what colors I wanna work with first. Lot's of lists that keep me on track. (oh, and a budget)

When I have a party I like to prepare as much as I possibly can the night before. I even set the tables and get the buffet, serving pieces, and beverage area ready. Detail is key, and proper planning a must!

Hi All,

When was the last time you and your favorite group of people got together for a tea party? A tea can be small, or a larger gathering and a great way to spend some time with your friends. I'm going to show you the afternoon that I hosted for my neighbors. It was a fun time had by all! Please grab your favorite cup of tea and join me on this journey!
