Host an afternoon tea

“I was going to have it in my backyard, but we've been having summer temperatures here in Southern California, and it was over 90°F here yesterday. So I moved it inside! I also had five people cancel at the last minute and was really bummed, but I made the best of it! We all had a great time! I also had tea games (downloaded on Etsy) and inexpensive prizes (like hair clips and bag charms I got at Walmart). It was so much fun despite our smaller group!”

“I was eager to try some new recipes so I prepared a lot of the foods from scratch. My girlfriend, Cathy, agreed to let me raid her grandma’s china cabinet to borrow antique teaware, plates, and crystal. [...] I invited my friends to dress up!”

“On Saturday I hosted an afternoon tea party for my Mum’s birthday. It’s actually 2 weeks before her birthday but it was the only date that everyone could manage. It was a lovely, fun afternoon where we had many laughs as we reminisced about years gone by. Plus we ate lots of sandwiches and cakes.”
