Think of all the Reasons to Have a Tea Party!

I think YOU need to have a Tea Party!!

So honestly, what comes to mind when you think of a tea party? For many that thought immediately goes to a Mother’s Day Tea, an English Garden or perhaps something very formal…. and it can be that, and it can also be SO MUCH MORE!! There are a plethora of reasons to have a tea party and The Elegant Eclectic is right here with all the rentals and supplies to help you every step of the way!

Here’s a few creative reasons for YOUR next tea party!

BRIDAL PARTY ANNOUNCEMENT! 

You are newly engaged and have chosen all your sisters and besties to stand up beside you for your biggest day ever! What a fun, creative way to celebrate asking them to be in your bridal party than by surprising them with a tea party and then announcing “Hey! Will you be my bridesmaid?!” You don’t have to gather anything together (unless you have a few special pieces you’d like to include!) You can rent it all and I’ll set it up and break it all down!  Think scrumptious food, celebratory mimosas, and classical versions of Bruno Mars’ “Marry Me” playing in the background!

BRIDAL SHOWER!!

The bride’s extra special so why not make the bridal shower extra special too!! Imagine her mom, her new mom-to-be, grandma and all the aunts, cousins, and besties gathering together, dressed up fancy, sipping on tea, toasting champagne in little vintage champagne coupes all while honoring the beautiful bride-to-be! Use all the props The Elegant Eclectic supplies and take memorable pictures with fun parasols, scarves, beads and fancy hats & gloves.

TEA WITH THE BRIDE-TO-BE!

You're the maid of honor and you need to come up with something creative! How ‘bout an afternoon of girl time & wedding planning while enjoying a fun signature drink and specialty teas! We can hand-select china and linens to match the wedding colors or go with the beautiful classic wedding palette of whites, creams & golds!

GALENTINE’S TEA PARTY!

Share a little love with the besties and enjoy an afternoon of fancy girl time! Who needs a guy right?! Dress in your best, enjoy tea time with beautiful china, pink & red goblets, heart-shaped candy bowls full of delicious chocolate (we all know calories don’t count on holidays!), and platters full of chocolate covered strawberries & cute little heart-shaped sandwiches! Don’t forget the roses!


MOTHER’S DAY (or anytime you want to honor the special moms in your life!)

Whether it’s Mother’s Day, Grandma’s birthday or simply an opportunity to thank the mom in your life for all she’s done, hosting a tea party in her honor will definitely be appreciated and special. Serve all her favorite teas and treats, use her favorite colors and flowers, and include unique family treasures and photographs to make her feel extra loved! 

TOO-SOON-TO-THINK BABY??!!

“First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes “someone” with the baby carriage,” right!? Baby Shower Tea Parties are the CUTEST! Think of all the themes:  “Tea for a new Cutie!,” “Tea for Momma-to-be!” or how ‘bout “A Baby is Brewing!” We have lots of pink glasses! We have lots of blue glasses! We even have those cute  vintage ceramic pots in baby styles! We can custom pull tea ware to fit boy or girl parties!! 

 

BRIDGERTON THEMED TEA PARTY!

Love Bridgerton? (Or even Anne of Green Gables!)  Everything from your invitations to the dress code to the food, games and music can all reflect your theme! Oh just think of the GOSSIP Lady Whistledown could write about! The girl talk, in the garden, dressed in beautiful dresses, eating delectables while sipping English tea! Throw in plenty of Bridgerton inspired music and the perfect day is at your fingertips!

MINISTRY INSPIRED TEAS!

Whether your goal is to inspire volunteers, celebrate the conclusion of a Bible Study, honor a specific segment of your population in your church or ministry, or perhaps raise funds and awareness, a ministry-based tea party is a lovely option. Teas such as these are often complemented with instrumentalists, special singers, guest speakers, prayer and reflection. 

CHRISTMAS TEA!

For many years when my daughters were growing up our church held a Mother-Daughter Christmas Tea! The girls  looked forward to seeing everyone’s beautiful Christmas dresses and having a special night out with mom & their friends. Think elegant linens, festive centerpieces, a holiday program, special music and sharing wonderful conversation around candlelit tables with delicious teas, ciders and treats!  Perhaps there’s a take-home ornament at each setting to commemorate the evening! (And the organizers will love not having to scramble to find enough dishes or sort out whose is whose later if you rent from me!)

SWEET 16! (or 21, 40, 60…. 80!)

Celebrate the birthday girl - whatever her age - with a splendid afternoon tea! A balloon arch, cute bunting and lots of flowers in her favorite colors would be perfect additions! As would ice cream, served in our cute little vintage sherbet glasses of course! Include some of our old fashioned yard games, tea party games or perhaps even a fun craft and everyone will have a delightful day they’ll long remember!

Whatever your special celebration might be, The Elegant Eclectic is here to help! We will come to you, wherever you are, set it all up and break it all down! Less work for you means more time for you to enjoy yourself! Remember we offer lots of props, fun tea party games, yard games if you’d like them, even a tea party etiquette lesson! We'll customize your event to your needs!
