Host an Afternoon Tea Party!

Here’s how you can host an Afternoon Tea Party!

Whether you will choose lovely, stylish, simple, quaint and/or economical; you will be delighting in scrumptious flavours and textures, while nurturing your friendships as you share a memorable experience!

• Choose your theme (if you want one)
  

• Make or buy invitations and send them at least 2 weeks prior to your party; preferably 3 or 4 weeks
  

• Bake or buy delicious treats. Be sure you serve scones, jams, butter and devonshire cream
  

• You can serve champagne at the start of your party, as guests are arriving, while you take care of any last minute details
  

• Serve a few different flavours of dainty finger sandwiches and place them on a tiered serving tray, (which literally raises and displays your foods wonderfully) if you have one. If not, you can make, borrow or rent one or two
  

• Serve some authentic and elegant English desserts, such as Queen Victoria Cake, Strawberry or Grandma’s English Trifle as well as some tarts, cupcakes and petit fours
  

• Serve a variety of top quality teas prepared with piping hot, boiled water. Leave about 3 - 4 minutes for steeping
  

• Serve your tea from pretty and unique teapots and pour into delicate, colorful teacups. You can also borrow, rent or go thrifting to find some interesting and conversation-worthy teacups and saucers
  

• When you set your dining or buffet table, have an eye-appealing centerpiece; again, you can make or buy one or add a fresh bouquet of flowers to a vase
  

• Play some of your favourite (background) music which sets a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere
  

• Play some fun “ice-breaker” games to help your friends and guests be relaxed and “get to know each other.”
