To get your creative juices kicking, here are some tea party ideas on how to throw a simple yet awe-inspiring bridal shower party.

#1. Choose your location well. Party organizers often choose an elegant garden or a swanky vintage hotel to give the tea party that elegant feel popularized by the English. Location, however, must be chosen vis-a-vis your intended crowd. If you have a big lawn, an openly wide porch, or an open dining-iving area, which can accommodate an intimate few friends, the better.

#2. Spread the word with love by crafting tea-styled invitations. This tea bag invitation card is an awesome idea. Depending on your take– modern, vintage, humorous, and so on– your tea party bridal shower invitation must have complete information about the event. Choose feminine fonts and use cheerily sweet words to add more personality to it.

#3. There is no limit to the imagination when decorating a bridal shower with a tea party theme. Mix and match with both old and new, elegant and fun. Make good use of your grandma’s silver tea set and have friends pitch in their lace-y or floral tablecloths, linens and the like. Fill teacups or teapots with colorful blooms for your centerpieces. Clear crystals are also oozing with elegance. Don’t worry if you use plastic or paper dishes. Just make sure that the buffet table and the guests table are adorably decorated.

#4. When it comes to tea foods, you may opt for a light and delicate fare, and a bevy of desserts. Think cucumber with cream cheese sandwiches, deviled eggs topped with bacon bits, chicken salad sandwiches, strawberries dipped in white and dark chocolate, macaroons, colorful yet elegant cupcakes, garden salad, fresh fruit mini-slices, choco truffles, and so on. For drinks, go for hot or chilled (depending on the season) chamomile, lavender, matcha green tea and other tea selections. Offer honey instead of sugar cubes and candy sticks as stirrers. Champagne cocktails are also excellent addition to your fare.

Whether fresh or handcrafted from paper and plastic, flowers like pink roses and carnations have always been part and parcel of many tea parties for centuries. Think about vintage teapots or elegant crystal tall glasses festooned with the bride-to-be’s favorite blooms. To add more kick to the whole decoration, see to it that table linens and cloth used will make the magnificent blooms stand out.
