Dressing Ups
Accompanying every child’s tea party is the wonderful opportunity for exploration into another era. The party guests can adorn themselves in pearls, gloves and fascinators and many other fashion treasures which can be worn to tea - not before a movie photo shoot when the group of new found starlets can practice their vintage Hollywood poses.
The Tea Party
The tables are set for tea! There will be teapots with hot chocolate, to be drunk from pretty cups.
The guests are invited to the table and given a delicate introduction to etiquette of Afternoon Tea and conversation, grace and decorum.
Napkins, plates and flowers adorn the table. Mini sandwiches will be served on stands - a selection of cheese, ham, jam and cucumber.
There will be a tempting array of pink wafer biscuits, toffee popcorn and mini muffins.
Tea will finish with mini cupcakes or you may wish to upgrade to large fairy or chocolate cupcakes or a birthday cake made to your requirements.
