tea time!

Nothing is more fun and girly than a tea party themed get together.  This theme can work for bridal showers, birthday parties, or any gathering of ladies.  Our advice for any party or shower is to take some kind of theme and run with it.  Focus your theme on anything from a color scheme, to a holiday, polka dots, a movie... anything that inspires you.  For example, you could make your tea party super dainty and traditional, or you could make it more of an Alice in Wonderland theme.  There are no limits.  We love the idea of a tea party with vintage tea tins from thrift stores and tea houses.

Tea Tins



Using mason jars for your centerpieces is another easy way to add a vintage touch to your get together.  You can find them at thrift stores, or buy them brand new at your grocery store.  Etsy.com is a fabulous place to find mason jars, vintage straws, and gobs of other unique handmade and vintage items.


Mason jars have many uses.  Here they are used as little drinking glasses.


And of course, if you're doing the tea theme, you must go crazy with cute tea sets and tea bags!

 
  If you're looking to go a little less traditional, Hostess With the Mostess features an adorable Alice in Wonderland tea party.

Love it!
