A tea party is an excellent idea when hosting an intimate get-together among lady friends. This theme is so easy to play around with. The party can be held indoors but it would also be great when held out in the garden or in a patio. Here are some suggestions in hosting a tea party:

~Purchase different tea bags. There are various flavors to choose from and the guests can try one of each if they like. Some teas even taste good with milk. ~Prepare plastic tea cups. These cups are more convenient than the ceramic ones, especially when there may be curious kids around. ~Get your teapots ready. The teapots come in various attractive designs and colors. ~Prepare your finger foods. A tea party goes well with cakes, pastries, and cookies.
