Planning the Tea Party
ACCESSORIES

There are many ways to accessorize:
  • Hats
  • Tiaras
  • Flower wreaths for hair
  • Gloves
  • Parasols
  • Feather Boas
  • Fans
Here is a good place to start.

​
TEA CUPS, SAUCERS AND MORE . . .
  • Vintage tea cups and saucers. Set of 24-pack $9.49 (made with paper;  very inexpensive and very pretty)
  • Prefer real china?  You can order beautiful vintage cups, saucers and other accessories on Etsy.


WHAT TO SERVE?
FLOWERS - Get Some Help and Give it Too!
  • Maybe we can get the high school to make flower arrangements.  Roses. carnations, any really pretty flower.
  • And/or have them decorate hats with flowers, lace, or ribbons.  
  • Help volunteer high school or college students build portfolios by adding this project.  They could write about what they did. Get pictures and videos, and add them to their portfolios. This could provide them credit for classes at their high school, and then included in their portfolios for college admissions.  See "Why students need portfolios".​

MUSIC - go to Youtube.com and search for
background music for girls high tea party.  They have many you can listen to.
