take any sting out of hosting a tea party by following these steps....

  1. Decide on the occasion and/or tea party theme.
  2. Make your guest list and send out your tea party invitations.

  5. If you are planning on tea party games or crafts, have all the supplies ready and easily accessible.

Make sure everything is ready before the day of the tea party. Food that you want to be fresh can be prepared the morning of the tea or even the day before, covered and refrigerated if necessary.
