Hosting a Perfect Summer Tea Party
As the world is slowly starting to open up, we thought to share our tips on hosting a perfect tea party! ☕️ 🌸
🌺Invite your boss babe squad
send a super cute invite providing all the deets: date, time, location, attire. Optional - include a food menu & what teas will be served
Optional: Send a super cute handwritten invitation to your squad or something similar to a paperless post invitation for an easy reference for your guest
🌺Select & prepare your tea party food
Food selections are very important for an enjoyable tea party
You’ll want to have a combination of sweet and savory items. Foods that are easy to eat are the best!
You’ll also want to make sure that your tea party bites pair well with teas served
Party hack: If you’re in a rush, or don’t have the space or help, some deli’s offer delivery through doordash, grubhub, or Ubereats
If you’re feeling like getting creative with things, check out Pinterest for some cool ideas on bites to serve at a tea party
🌺Select your teas
It would be only fitting to select a range of teas types at your afternoon tea. Black, herbal, and greens are always a good go-to selection. One of our tea party favorites has been our Peach Party blend
If you’re feeling fancy, infuse your teas with a spirit creating a teacocktail! We have a great tea-cocktail recipe using Peach Party on our site www.tealingco.com
🌺Curate a tea party playlist
Set the vibe! You know your boss babe squad. So select some smooth & fun songs that would pair well with your ambiance
🌺Plan your table scape
Select a color scheme for your table scape and place settings. Make sure that everyone has appropriate dinning wear to enjoy what’s being served at your afternoon tea, don’t forget your tea cups!
Party hack: thrift stores have great deals on China or have everyone bring their favorite tea cup
Optional: add candles for the added sensory enjoyment
🌺Dress up
Get dolled up! Also, make sure that your boss babe squad knows the attire & theme of your afternoon tea.
🌺Enjoy your guests, ambiance, food & of course... the tea
Take pictures, enjoy guest, maybe even a light icebreaker if guest don’t all know each other! Enjoy what you’ve put together! We’d love to see what you come up with so be sure to tag @tealingco in your tea party pics!
