Grown Up Tea Party Ideas
Anyone for a cup of tea? As I previously stated, tea parties aren’t just for kids—they’re also a fun form of themed event for adults! A tea party for adults is a wonderful choice whether you’re celebrating a birthday or a bride-to-be, or simply want to gather friends around the table but don’t want to cook a complete dinner.
When it comes to having people for tea, the setting is crucial. Here are some ideas for spicing up your next get-together. Up your pinkies!
Party Decorations
Have you ever hosted a tea party for your friends and family? It’s a simple yet elegant method to spend some quality time with your closest pals! We’ve got you covered if you’re not sure where to begin. Take a look at our ultimate Tea Party Decorations, which are listed below!
Floor Set Up
Your tea party doesn’t have to be overly formal. Go ahead and relax with your friends if that’s what you want to do! Set up a cute picnic-style setting on the floor with pillows and blankets to make it extra comfortable.
Table Accessories
Set the tone by displaying posh items that will make your guests smile. Making a centerpiece with pearl jewelry, romance books, and other attractive accents is a great idea.
Floral Centerpieces
Create a centerpiece that will steal the show with eucalyptus branches or other blossoms. Incorporating this degree of detail is always a successful choice, whether you’re gathering indoors or outdoors.
Place Cards
A tablescape is never complete without placecards. Your guests will enjoy the personal touch, whether you handwrite it in elegant handwriting or simply use a colorful marker.
Lighting
Adding candles to your tea party will elevate the atmosphere and make it feel more formal. Even better if you choose candles in a bright color that complements your party’s theme.
Tableware
While I believe you may save money on the larger decorations, the table is where you want to show off your creativity. After all, the tea will be the center of attention at the gathering, so it needs a lovely setting. That doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money on a fancy tea service. With pricey tableware, you may get an attractive aesthetic as well.
Party Cakes
Beautiful and elegant cakes are a must-have when arranging a tea party. Your visitors will gravitate to a stunning cake in the centre of your food and appetizer display. The cake at your tea party will be a talking point, too, if it’s really tasty!
Orange blossom water and handmade buttercream icing are used in this floral and citrus dairy-free cake. This fresh, fruity, floral tea party cake has layers of orange blossom cake and a marmalade filling.
A refrigerated tiered cake made with cookies and milk. Icebox cakes aren’t truly baked, as you might have guessed. When I realized this fact, I was just days old. This is the ideal tea party cake for hot weather because of the chilled creamy lime filling and the fact that you won’t have to heat up your kitchen.
Party Games
You don’t need to organize elaborate tea party games; simply spend the afternoon chatting and catching up with friends. Here are a few of my favorites if you do wish to organize a few activities.
Pinko
Isn’t it true that every nice tea party need a snack? Print up bingo boards for Pinkalicious, or Pinko for short, a cupcake-themed bingo game. It’s played with printed calling cards, and the winner exclaims “Pinko” once they’ve marked off an entire row of things on the board.
Tea Leaves Pictionary
Playing a game of Tea Leaf Pictionary with the tea bags that were flung is a fun way to use them up. Make a list of things to “draw” on small pieces of paper and put them in one of the teapots. While others guess, the children choose a slip and create pictures with tea leaves from opened bags.
Party Favors
Of course, you’ll want to leave a lasting impression on your party visitors.
