A bridal shower is a pre-wedding celebration for the bride to enjoy with her closest friends and family. Many bridal showers have themes, and there is no better one than a tea party. It’s delightful to have a room full of well-dressed guests sipping from elegant china and indulging in towers of fluffy scones and flavorful sandwiches.
Tea Party Bridal Shower Etiquette
Who gets invited?
Any bridal shower, regardless of the theme, is centered around the bride, so it’s customary to invite her closest friends and relatives. In many cases, the groom’s closest female family members are also invited. Because the affair is more intimate than a wedding there is no need to invite plus-ones, coworkers, or friends of the future spouse.
Do you need to send out formal invitations?
“Sending an invitation via email is perfectly acceptable for a tea party,” Passante writes on her website. “Online sites like Paperless Post, Evite, or Tiny Prints are perfect for picking out an invitation and managing the guest list.”
Where do you hold a tea party bridal shower?
Tea party bridal showers can be as formal or relaxed as the host desires. Sure, staging an event in a grand hotel tea room with china can be memorable, but so can hosting a casual gathering in a backyard with folding tables. The most important rule is to make sure guests are somewhere comfortable. “If you’re hosting an event outside, which is our favorite place to have an event, it can be challenging depending on rain or extreme heat or wind or bugs,” explains Passante.
Should tea party bridal showers have decorations?
For Passante, the answer is an absolute yes: “The best part for me is creating the event and pulling all the details together.” The focus of an event like this is the tea sets, and they are natural decorations for the table. Matching sets can be beautiful, but so can mismatched sets collected from friends and relatives of the bride. Linens and boxes of tea can also make any table look picture perfect.
Should guests bring gifts for the hostess?
While a host should never expect a gift, if a guest wants to contribute to the gathering, small items are appreciated. A candle, bottle of wine, a decorative seasonal item, thank you note, gift card, or flowers are all great suggestions.
Should party favors be given out at a bridal shower?
Yes, it’s customary for guests to walk away with a little treat that helps them remember the occasion. To go along with the theme, Passante suggests gifts such as teacups, boxes of scones, homemade jam, boxes of tea, or local honey.
Can games be played at a tea party bridal shower?
Games are fun at any type of bridal shower including a tea party themed one. They help guests relax and get to know each other, and they always end in laughter.
