How to Host A Tea Party

Tea Party

Hosting a tea party can be a casual event, or can be very formal. The most important aspect of having tea is that it should be a relaxing and pleasant social interlude with wonderful tea, well prepared, accompanied by tasty treats, whether they be toast and jam or an elaborate spread of fancy savories and sweets. We will explore some ideas for tea party themes, foods and tea accompaniments, along with table settings, serving pieces, and seating of guests.
Dates and cost: TBA. Contact if interested.
