Celebrate Special Times-Plan A Holiday Tea Party

By Helen Christa


Holiday tea parties are becoming quite a popular trend among tea lovers. Cups of tea and intimate conversation followed by fresh scones and sweet treats are time-honored afternoon tea traditions perfect for any holiday celebration.

Planning a Mother’s Day Tea is a lovely way to treat your mom, grandmother, or mother-in-law to a memorable afternoon. Bring out your fine linens and floral English tea ware to make this an elegant gathering.

An Easter Tea Party can be fun for children and adults alike. Choose a whimsical bunny theme and use splashes of pastel colors in pink, blue, and green. Many online retailers now carry children’s tea sets and accessories.

St. Patrick’s Day calls for a green-themed tea party complete with shamrock-themed tea ware, and of course, green tea.

Treat a co-worker, secretary, or administrative assistant to a special afternoon during Administrative Professionals Week. Surprise them with English scones, petite sandwiches, and hot tea served in floral cups and saucers.

With so many Christmas china patterns available, a Christmas Tea is a special event to plan with closest friends and family. With your home already decorated for the holidays, add fine linens, tea party food, and cinnamon tea for an unforgettable holiday party.

Celebrate the entrance of spring with a Spring Fling Tea Party. This tea party calls for vases full of colorful spring blooms, floral linens, and floral teacups and saucers. Flowers should adorn the table and the menu. Candied roses can be used to garnish tea cakes and a few drops of red food coloring can be added to tint sugar to pink for a special effect. Floating flowers and candles in a wide glass bowl make a stunning centerpiece on a coffee table or serving tables. Plan your spring tea as an annual gathering to create a new tradition everyone will love.

Plan a tea party to celebrate the special holidays and events in your life. With a lovely presentation, careful menu planning, and special people, your guests will not soon forget about your holiday afternoon teas.
