Step1
Arrange a guest list and set a date for the afternoon tea party bridal shower. Once you have set a date, or a range of dates for the event, you can search for a location.
Step2
Search for the perfect location for your afternoon tea bridal shower. The perfect place could be at home or at someone else’s home. Another idea could be a museum or an old Victorian mansion.
Step3
Set a menu for the event. Remember to select teas that are both caffeinated and decaffeinated. Select yummy and tiny tea sandwiches and bite sized cakes for your guests.
Step4
Obtain invitations and send them out. Make them look pretty by using a calligraphy pen to address them. Include information about where the bride is registered.
Step5
Create pretty table centerpieces or have them ordered. Peonies in a round bowl can look pretty and are very easy to arrange. Lilacs are another pretty flower that smells delicious.
Step6
Decorate the room with the afternoon tea party theme. Keep decorations feminine and soft.
Step7
Give guests a lovely “thank you” gift such as a candle that is made from a teacup. A heart shaped sachet is another idea.
