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.

Naturally, I was asked to organize one which we titled Hospitali-Tea (from Romans 12:13). We just had Hospitali-Tea IV which was a Valentine themed tea. It was a sold out event. Previously we had III which was the Queen's Royal Tea and had an actor from the Renaissance Fair provide the entertainment; II was a St. Patrick's tea and we had an Irish entertainment show. No two teas are the same or it will just be another ladies event and the interest won't be there. As far as a game play, we always include an ice breaker event. One of the more popular ones was a pocket book scavenger hunt. Each table received a list of 10 items (key, postage stamp, tape measure, etc.) and they had to put the items in a zip lok bag. When they were finished, the hostess of the table had to run it up to the front of the room. It was great fun and certainly sounded like a hen house. This year for the Valentine tea they had to list as many couples as they could think of. Again, the ladies were very competitive!!! The committee really thinks this helps break the ice because not everyone at each table knows one another and this gives them something in common. dkf Our church was looking for an event to get more ladies involved and I suggested a tea.
