The ladies at my church are hosting a buffet style tea party. If all the tea cups, plates,etc. are going to be on the buffete table, what about the tables? Do we leave the tables empty, except for the center piece?

I am in charge to decorate. I like the idea of the buffet, but I am not sure about not having the tables empty.
Thank you for your advice,

Nery

I was just asked this past Sunday to host a tea party for the ladies at our church. I came across your website via Google and very glad I did! I have no experience whatsoever with tea parties and your tips are very helpful. But what if I don’t have tea cups and saucers for 20 women? Would it be too tacky to have 20 different cups/saucer sets? I’d have to hit up the local Marshalls/TJ Maxx for enough.

This is Great Information. Every woman reading these articles should be moved to host a tea party for some of their friends. As you have stated - it does not take very much to host one. The season is now perfect to host tea parties. Ladies - Let’s get started!

I’m impressed to see you come up with so many steps and tips. To me, I never think about how many steps I could or do take to set up any kind of party. Including when my grandchildren all come to the house at once and they are hungry.

When I think about it, you are right. There are that many steps to having any kind of party. What a niche you have.

Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestions! The idea for a tea party is very new to me….As a primary teacher, I’ve hosted Teddy Bear Tea Parties but never one as special as the one we are now planning. I am now looking forward to an elegant celebration for my first granddaughter!Thank you so much!

I once attended a housewarming buffet tea party, and it was so so elegant. These are all great tips.

Reading your instructions makes me feel inspired to hold a tea party of my own Jennie.

Done your way, it really lifts the event into something special.

I agree that buffet tea parties are fantastic! (In fact, if you were invited to tea at the White House, it would likely be a buffet!). I wish Linda all the best!
