Tussie-Mussie Tea Party 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 party, 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 tea guests can then read them out loud before the tea is served.
To have your tea 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.
