Tea Party Ideas: The Essentials Must-Haves

  • Cake stand – there are plenty of variations, materials, and styles. Except for cakes, you can serve cupcakes, fruits, or sandwiches.
  • Tea pot, tea cups and saucers – of course, you can’t have a tea party without those. Do not worry if you can’t find matching cups, sometimes mismatched pieces bring the atmosphere.
  • Tablecloth and napkins- for a more sophisticated look get cloth napkins. Do not forget about the cutlery and glassware.
  • Bunting strings and decoration- for more creativity you can make edible bunting biscuits. Simply add names or symbols connected to your party theme. Add flowers, balloons, and decorative elements, and welcome your guests in a fairy tale.
  • Variation of finger food, desserts, tea sandwiches and beverages. Finger sandwiches, scones, cakes, pastries and small bites are ideal for your party. Offer variations of tea flavors, coffee cuppa, refreshing drinks, and mocktails.
  • Dress code – set up a specific dress code for your party. Flower dresses, dots, and line patterns, lace elements, and hats, everything you wish and make you feel special.
