Tussie Mussie Flower Arrangement for Tea Party Theme


Tussie-Mussie Craft / Activity

Flowers and herbs were used to convey special messages. Each one has a silent meaning.

Note: If you choose not to make these bouquets during the social, you can make or buy these ahead of time and either hand them to the guests as they arrive, place them above their plate, or let them choose from a table where you have them displayed.
Attach a note with the message that the flowers/herbs are sending. The guests can then read them out loud before teatime is served.

To have your guests make a tussie-mussie for themselves, you can either ask each person to bring an appointed bunch of herbs or flowers, or provide them yourself.
