How to Throw A Perfect Tea Party
Whether your girlfriends are secret want-to-be princesses (me!) or more casual girls who love to hang out, throwing a tea party is a super fun way to enjoy some time together.
At first, the idea of throwing a tea party overwhelmed me because I don’t own a fabulous hat, but soon I realized that all I really need for the perfect tea party is a tasty menu, flavorful tea and great girlfriends.
This easy-to-prepare menu features some of our tastiest baked goods, which are super-easy to pick up at your local Starbucks when you grab your tea. To round out the menu, grab some fresh fruit at your local farmer’s market.
Tea Party Menu
• Blueberry Scone & Petite Vanilla Bean Scone – These are must-have tea party staples filled with sweet blueberries or miniaturized with real flecks of vanilla bean.
• Fresh fruits of the season – What’s more fabulous than a heaping pile of fresh strawberries and blueberries?
• Tazo® Earl Grey Tea and Tazo® Calm Tea – It’s always a good idea to have a decaffeinated option on hand to serve, too.
And don’t forget to decorate! Keep it simple and clean with a bouquet of fresh flowers and a pretty tablecloth. Set the food on a tiered serving stand and use (gasp!) real tea cups.
What would you serve at your perfect tea party?

I would serve tea biscuits and nuttela or/and biscuits and jelly.
I used the calm tea at my daughter's birthday tea party. It was a hit.
In addition to the mini scones, ( a long time fav for all my family) I would add some pumpkin loaf sliced into 1/3rds and spread whipped cream cheese on it, and toast a chonga bagel cut into quarters and heap with curried chicken salad, and chutney on the side. And use lace napkins and best tea cups of course! Sounds like the perfect menu when my daughter comes to visit next week <3
When I was little, I used to have tea parties with my mother and my aunt. We used to serve tea with Geneva and Milano cookies. They paired really well with the tea.
