serving trays and plates filled with tea crackers.
For a lunchtime tea, try serving an array
of different dimsum dishes and desserts.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s

by the movie would use chic porcelain with
a classic touch of the 50s. Petite purses
filled with a mirror compact and lip gloss
would be given out as a bridal shower favors.
Besides tea, serve other beverages such as
Shirley Temples.
Garden or Floral Theme
- A floral themed party using flowers such
as daisies as the central motif. Decorate
guest tables with colorful gerbera daisies
placed in glass vases. Serve desserts inspired
by a floral decoration such as cupcakes topped
with edible sugared flowers. Find theme-like
favors such as flower seeds, floral
pouches, embroidered
bags,
flower placecard holders, or flower-shaped
cookies and candies.
City-based Bridal Shower Theme
- An “I Love New York” theme is
a stylish summer tea reception with a metropolitan
flair using elements such as Long Island Ice
Tea and New York Cheesecake. Decorate guest
tables with symbols inspired by New York City
such as the Statue of Liberty. Serve iced
cookies from the famous cookies of Eleni's.
Hat Party Theme with Southern or Victorian
Influence
- A hat party inspired by the South - wherein
guests come dressed in their favorite hats.
Display favors such as porcelain
keepsake hatboxes or Victorian-style
shoes as a decorative part of the pastry
and tea serving table. Offer finger sandwiches
using fillings such as shrimp, cucumber, tuna,
or chicken salad. Have a platter of pastries
such as scones, petit fours, mini tarts, and
cream puffs. Provide a serving table filled
with unique tea flavorings that come in many
forms such as flavored sugars infused with
lavender or vanilla.
"Queen for a Day" Theme
- For a “beauty queen” themed
bridal shower tea party, obtain samples of
the bride’s favorite beauty products
such as lipstick, blush, and eye shadow palettes.
Prepare bridal shower favors by packaging
miniature
tote bags filled with foil wrapped lip-shaped
chocolates, candy flavored lip balm tins,
and raspberry lollipops.
Easter Tea Party or Season-Based Theme
- When hosting an Easter tea party, create
a colorful display of enticing desserts amidst
a beautiful table setting of fresh springtime
flowers. Add delightfully sweet and cool touch
by serving ice cream decorated in pretty shades
of pink, yellow, purple, and blue. Provide
a selection of teas that are infused with
scrumptious fruits such as strawberries, blueberries,
and raspberries. Send guests home with elegantly
wrapped porcelain boxes in the shape of whimsical
eggs.
Fall Shower Tea Reception Theme
- For a fall bridal shower tea party, use
the warm earth-tone colors of the season to
add inspiration to your affair. Use shades
of brown, red, and orange, which can be found
in everything from flowers to desserts. For
instance, find leaf-shaped chocolates as favors
and present them in elegant
white favor boxes. Use decorative flowers
such as burgundy colored calla lilies and
display them as part of centerpieces surrounded
by simple tealights housed in glass votives.
Mexican-inspired Tea Party
- A visit to your local "panaderia"
will be worth it for planning a fun bridal
shower tea party inspired by the flavors of
Mexico. Serve a variety of cookies and pastries
such as Guava Empanadas, Churros with chocolate
dip, and Polvorones. Be sure to have pots
of Mexican hot chocolate or Cafe de Olla available.
Play classic Flamenco guitar music and display
beautiful glass vases filled with vibrant
red roses - adding a romantic flair to the
occasion. As favors, give your guests delicious
Mexican wedding cookies presented in delightful
embroidered
favor bags.
Polka-Dot Party
- A polka-dot themed tea party decorated in
a pink and chocolate brown color motif is
a fun event at anytime of the year. Using
this theme, have a delightful wedding shower
serving colorful pink iced cookies and delicious
orange and spice teas, which is a wonderful
break from those dreary winter blues. Select
colorful pink decorations in different hues
to add depth without going overboard. For
example, pretty pink
potted flower bouquets lined around as
centerpieces whether on a round or long table
turns into a vibrant display perfect for memorable
photographs. Find pictures from magazines
that cover flower decorating, home decorating,
or country living for inspiration.
Purse Party
- Similar to hat party, this particular theme
entails bringing your favorite purse to the
party. Find elegant purse-inspired favors
and edible treats. For example, you can fill
mini purses with salt water taffy or chocolate
hearts.
Shoe Party Theme
- A shoe-inspired bridal shower party is an
ideal theme for the bride who has to have
the latest pointy shoes or stilettos to hit
the fashion scene. Find invitations with whimsical
shoe motifs and use them as inspiration for
selecting other elements of the party. From
chic to girly designs, find shoe themed party
favors and table decorations with a whimsical
tone to create a wonderful celebration. For
example, little shoe place card holders are
the perfect choice for setting guest place
settings, and at each setting, be sure to
place a lovely gift of gratitude such as a
pretty petite shoe presented in a white gift
box.
