TIA
For a Mother/Daughter tea, it is common to serve traditional tea party fare such as finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a variety of sweet treats like petit fours, macarons, and mini cupcakes. You can also add some savory options like quiches or mini tartlets to balance out the sweetness. Consider incorporating some themed dishes or using cute cookie cutters to make the food more festive.
While using special tea sets and dishes can add an elegant touch to the event, they are not necessary. You can use regular plates and cups, or even mix and match different sets for a more eclectic look. If you do want to use special tea sets, consider borrowing them from friends or family or purchasing them from a thrift store to save money.
There are many fun activities you can do at a Mother/Daughter tea to keep guests entertained. You can have a tea party etiquette lesson, where you teach guests how to properly hold a teacup and use a tea strainer. You can also have a tea tasting, where guests can try different types of tea and learn about their origins. Another idea is to have a crafting station where guests can decorate their own teacups or make their own tea blends.
To make the Mother/Daughter tea more special, you can add personal touches like creating a themed playlist or designing custom invitations. You can also incorporate some sentimental elements, such as using family heirloom tea sets or including a special photo display of mothers and daughters. Adding a dress code or encouraging guests to wear fancy hats can also make the event feel more special.
Yes, you can have the Mother/Daughter tea outdoors, weather permitting. Just make sure to have a backup plan in case of rain or extreme temperatures. You can set up a beautiful outdoor tea party with a picnic blanket or a small table and chairs. Consider adding some floral or greenery decorations to enhance the outdoor atmosphere.
