14 Jul 2010 Tea Party

With the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, tea parties have been rising in popularity. I have been seeing everything from birthday parties to wedding with a tea party theme and favors. So how do you make yours special? Here are a few tips.

Personalized Tea Packets
This is the main one, personalizing the packets of tea will help guest remember your day forever. It also gives them a gift that they can use instead of throw in a drawer or box and never see again. Practical gifts are the way to go now days. Guests aren’t as excited about keepsakes as they used to be. These personalized tea packets have a lot of available personalization. They are categorized under Bridal Shower, Wedding, Christening/Religious, Baby Shower, and Holidays.

With so many options, you are bound to find a something that will work. They also come in three flavors: black, green, and jasmine.

Tea Infusers
For those of us who don’t know (I didn’t till just a few moments ago), you place loose tea leaves or bags into the infuser while you brew your cup of tea. This keeps you from having floating leaves in your tea. I don’t know about you, but I hate floating pieces of anything in my tea. If your guests are like me, then these infusers will be a great addition to your personalized tea packets.

Teapot Timer
I know it sounds a bit silly, but can you imagine sitting there, enjoying each other’s company laughing, and joking and letting your brewing cup of tea go bitter because you forgot about it? We all loose track of time, whether it’s in the kitchen cooking, reading a good book, or especially when spending time with good friends. This item will be a practical gift that will allow them to multi task at home and keep their tea from getting bitter at your party.

Personalized Glass Cup
This is the final item I will suggest. I don’t think this one needs any explaining. Personalized cups or mugs will add that extra magic to your event. These also have a lot of different options for personalization so you will be able to match it and make it work.

To add the final touch to your event, take all the items, put them in a small box, basket, or bag together, place package at their seat and you have a perfect little party gift that can be used then and after. Just don’t forget the food!
