We just had a meeting to prepare for the relay for life cancer tea party this May 2 and found out we have new tables. Do you have any suggestions what we can do with decorating and serving suggestions for 15- 8foot long tables and 7-6foot long tables? We hope to serve approximately 100 people. Any suggestions or helpful hints is much appreciated! Thanks again, Crystal Bumgardner Hello tea party Girl!

I have been looking into renting linens and cups and saucers etc. Do you think it is best to rent the china to keep the formal feel or to save a little money and use paper products? I do want it to be a memorable event. We are looking to open it to our whole elementary school (girls and mother), so I want it to be something people will really enjoy, mothers will really enjoy doing with their daughters. Any suggestions would be great. My Girl Scout Troop is thinking of throwing a mother daughter tea for a fundraiser.

I have looking for you for so long !LOL! I have wanted to host a tea party for so long, and didn't know where to start. I am planning a lg Christmas tea for SEVERAL Ladies I work with. I have a lg table that can seat up to 14 people, but that may not be enough room. I am thinking of an elegant buffet. I also want to serve a big punch in a crystal bowl. I will follow the advise of finger foods only. Do I set up the tea cups on a separate table al well? Not quite sure how to set the table. It will be in my formal dining rm, under a lg crystal chandler. I want it to be ELEGANT and BEAUTIFUL!! Having a buffet I can envite everyone.. no one left out. ANY other words of advice I will love. Thank you so much. (MY dining rm and front room are connected. My fireplace will be lit) Hello!! I have looking for you for so long !LOL!

There is a lot of planning and make sure you have enough urns to keep the tea coming. This tea was very well planned and turned out beautiful. I did a sit down tea for 184 people in April 2009. I decorated 23 tables and they all had their own theme. It was called A tea and fashion extravaganza. The guests were amazed at how beautiful the tables were. They actually walked around the room and looked at the different tables. They just kept commenting that they had never seen anything so beautiful.

That's the most economical for tea bags, but I encourage you to try loose-leaf tea. Look for Snowflake tea at Amazon (if you go through my site by clicking on my Tea Reads in the side bar, I will receive a small commission)-the best almond tea in my opinion. Scones and tea are always a great combination. Hope your event goes well! Rachel, use 30 tea bags for 60 cups of tea.

Thanks for the advice on the coffee urns for tea only. I was thinking of serving an almond tea. I haven't looked yet, but if there are almond tea bags, about how many bags would you suggest for 60 cups? I just plan to serve a scone with the tea. Or do you have any other suggestions to go with almond tea, or some other tea and finger food that would be real nice for a morning tea? I plan to just use a pretty paper napkin and cup. Do you have any other ideas? I want it to be very nice and memorable, but simple. Thanks for your help! I am planning a ‘morning family reunion tea’ for about 50 ladies/girls.

Last year I hosted a tea party for about 20. This year there will be about 50, and this article on a tea party for a large crowd really, really helps. I have a question. I am considering purchasing a large white metal enamel pot with a dispenser. I want to heat and keep it on the stove to dispense the water into my teapots. I'd like to know, if it would be safe to heat water in that type of container? I am using distilled water. Thank you, Jackie I really appreciate this valuable information.
