Tea Party Invitations
Preparing and sending out tea party invitations is a pleasant task, whether you purchase the invitations or create your own.
When you have all the facts about your tea party decided upon, and are ready to send this information to your guests by way of a formal invitation, consider the following before choosing your missive:
- Is the tea a modern, casual, or formal tea?
- Does the party have a theme?
- Do you want to make your own home made invitations or find ready-made ones?
- How many guests are being invited?
If you have a large invite list, you probably won't want to spend a lot of time on the invitations, so looking for ones that are easy to fill out will make the task easier. On the other hand, if you are having a small, intimate affair, then perhaps you want to spend more time being creative or allow for more elaborate tea invitations.
Also consider...
As for when to send your invites, generally two weeks ahead is appropriate - four weeks for a more important date.
A hand-addressed envelope is more personal and appreciated. In the case of a large function, printed tea invitations are acceptable.

Send your details on:*A doily (can be white or a color) embellish with a bow tied through the lace edges.
*A big letter T, using the aid of your computer or a stencil. Fill in the info about the tea on one side and embellish with stickers.
*A silk leaf. With a fine-tipped marker, write info on a leaf or use a different leaf for each who, what, when, and where fact. You can also use real dried leaves or paper cut leaves.
*From calendars or magazines, make a collage of the tea theme on the outside of the tea invitations and the info on the inside.
*Draw a tea box, with a separate lid that lifts (hinged at the top) to display the party details.
*Carefully slit the bottom of a foil enclosed tea pouch, take the tea bag out, and replace it with a small folded invitation. Place in envelope to mail.
*Craft a paper shaped tea bag, write out the details, cover with transparent gauze, and attach a string with tab.
*Take a picture of yourself sitting at a table with empty chairs and a tea service in front of you. Attach it to the front of the invite and on the inside ask the guest to join you in partaking of afternoon tea.
*Spray your envelopes with a lovely tea inspired scent such as jasmine or lemon.
