Bridal Shower Tea Parties

If June is the month for brides, then May is the time for planning and hosting bridal showers. Bridal showers are for the bride and her close female friends, and should be planned by the maid of honor and bridesmaids.

According to Coffee, Tea & Thee, a wedding does more than join two people. It builds a bridge between two families, and a ‘Bride to Be’ Tea Party is the ideal setting for the bride’s mother, mother in law, and grandmothers to get acquainted. This special tea party will become a cherished memory for the new bride and the families it brings together.

Coffee, Tea & Thee suggests some creative and unique ways to make your Bridal Shower Tea Party memorable and fun. One idea is to have each guest bring a china tea cup to start the bride’s collection. Another is to go in together on a tea set to be used for the tea party and then presented to the bride to take home.

One of my favorite Bridal Shower Tea Party resources is If Teapots Could Talk: Fun Ideas for Tea Parties. It contains more than 60 recipes for all the treats you’ll need for an afternoon Bridal tea party including scrumptious scones, dainty tea sandwiches, savory appetizers and tea time sweets, plus 15 creative ideas for theme tea parties, with suggestions for invitations, activities, decorations & party favors.
