Hosting Your Tea Party

Editor: ourprecioustreasures

This guide will discuss ideas and themes for hosting an entertaining tea party for adults.

Great for a group of two or two hundred, the tea party is a versatile event whose popularity continues to grow! Tea can be a great reason for a get-together of you and your closest friends, family, business associates and those you'd like to get to know better.

"If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty." - Japanese Proverb

"Remember the tea kettle - it is always up to its neck in hot water, yet it still sings!" - Author Unknown

"The tea party is a spa for the soul. You leave your cares and work behind. Busy people forget their business. Your stress melts away, your senses awaken" - Alexandra Stoddard

"I'm a little teapot short and stout, here’s my handle, here’s my spout; when the tea is ready hear me shout, just tip me over and pour me out." - Nursery Rhyme

The most enjoyable tea parties are free from telephone interruptions, thus I recommend, turning cell phones off. A tea party is most about close friendships and enjoying something special and good for everyone. Just make sure your tea party runs on an easy going pace and doesn’t run a frantic pace like the pace of the mad tea party in Alice in Wonderland. Enjoy the Wonderful World of Tea, Your Friends and Tea Goodies, too!
