Tea Party Wedding Shower Theme
Hosting a bridal shower with an elegant tea party theme is a lovely idea. The party could be held indoors or if the weather is warm in a garden.
For a bridal shower with a tea-party theme you will need a few essential items, such as a tablecloth and napkins, a pretty china tea set, a creamer, a sugar bowl - filled with sugar cubes - and of course English tea and a teapot.
A vase filled with fresh flowers makes a beautiful tea party table centerpiece, and parasols make good decorations - they're useful if the weather is hot too.
Food might include English cucumber sandwiches, scones with butter, jam and clotted cream plus a selection of delicious cupcakes or petits fours, displayed on a pretty tiered cake stand.
Here's a few favor ideas for a tea party themed shower:
Sweet decorated sugar cubes
Tea infusers
Personalized tea bags
Cookies
Fill small cups with candy. Wrap the cup and its saucer in cellophane, then simply tie closed with raffia.
P.S. Don't forget to remove the crusts from the cucumber sandwiches, then to cut each sandwich into four neat triangles.
