More often people are planning tea parties for friend and family, neighbor and co-workers and using them as a theme for things like baby and wedding showers, graduations, birthdays and other commemorative events. The old tradition of mid-afternoon tea parties has been replace by the freedom to have them at whatever time fits everyone's schedule.
The idea of a tea party often calls to mind a quaint times of the past and fond memories of pleasant occasions, but that doesn't mean that tea parties should be thought of as being out of style or old-fashioned.
Who doesn't like to recall thoughts of laid-back sun-filled days with gardens in full bloom, enjoying finger foods and delightful bright and gauzy summer dresses, and a cup of tea to sip slowly.
In addition to coffee and tea for the party, a wide variety of other beverages are appropriate including herbal tea, punch, sparkling juice or water, and even a bit of wine for the right crowd.
Sometimes the hostess of a tea party can get a bit overwhelmed by the details of planning the party. But, remember, what makes tea parties magical events and treasured memories are the way your guests feel.
Creating a positive, relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere for your guests to enjoy good conversation over a cup of tea will be much more important than making sure every last detail is perfect.
