I love Tea and anything related to the art of hosting gatherings for women.
This time I am creating a vow renewal/wedding Tea Theme. Everything is related to Tea, but it will not be supper girly either.
"Tea Cookie" escort cards,
Individual Tea pouches with a tea bag and a Tea related quote or poem on each Teabag tag.
Please see my BIO for all of my projects.
Total number of guests = 32 and 7 are children 1 -18
9 kinds of Tea
6 kinds of Coffee
Honey, Lemmon, Raw Sugar and sugar substitute along with half-half, light cream, milk and instant Cremora for those who just don't get it.
Hot Cocoa Bar - peppermint - chocolate chips - whipped cream - caramel
NA Punch - Gingerale - Soda Water - White Grape Juice - Frozen Fruit Ring
Because this is a Tea I am serving the guests myself and my best friend will be helping me. She knows this is actually an honor and I bought her a special gift for the occassion. I Love Jenny she is a wonderful woman!
