While the classical tea party brings to mind old ladies in flowered dresses, it's really a great excuse for conversation, snacks and some warming beverages. You don't have to dress up, you can invite men as well as women and you can have coffee, green tea or herbal infusions in addition to black tea.

on 11/22/2005 The party I had for my SS class was in my tea room. I had hats on the backs of each chair, which the girls wore. I served pink lemonade in fancy glasses with sprigs of fresh spearmint. I had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and egg sandwiches, fancy cookies and fruit. We talked about etiquette and then went to the puppetry shop across the street. I gave each girl a small tea cup and saucer so she could start her own set. I took a picture of each girl and framed it with home-made frames and gave each girl a set of pictures. They loved it.

on 11/22/2005 I host a tea party for my nieces ages 7-16. They arrive in prom-type dresses. They each bring their own teacup to show off. We serve tea and juice in their cups. There are always cookies, candies, cucumber sandwiches and lots of fun.
