Last month I hosted a Bridal Shower at my house for my husband's sister.
I did the decorations, one sister-in-law did the food & one sister-in-law did the games.
I think it all turned out great and everyone seemed to have a good time!
I thought a tea party shower would be fun as my sister-in-law (the bride) collects tea pots and likes tea. The yellow & grey were her wedding colours, so that made sense to use those for the shower, but it's tricky to find yellow & grey stuff in the fall I tell you!
Here's the invitation I created, I made it to coordinate with the wedding invitation...

I had this jar out with strips of paper so people could write down some date ideas for the couple. |

The bride likes lemon drops and they fit in with the theming ever so nicely |

I got this tea pot and had all the guests use a sharpie to sign their names on it and gave it to the bride at the end of the shower as a keepsake. |

I made little place-cards for everyone at the tables. I enjoyed bringing out my good China dishes and silverware to make it all fancy for our tea party. |

My sister-in-law did veggies & dip, fruit kebabs, cookies, cucumber sandwiches, and tea for the food. |

I made label card for in front of each tea pot. I set each tea pot on a doily with a trivet underneath to protect my island. |

At the end of the shower, I gave the bride: the jar of date night ideas, the tea pot everyone signed, and the book I wrote down the gifts she was given. I stuck all these favors in the cute yellow gift bag for her to take. |
Lovely! Bravo! I like it all!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Tea shower parties are really fun to attend. Last week I attended a tea party at corporate events Chicago location with my office staff. It was truly a great event, and the arrangement was wonderful.
