All Ladies Boozy Tea Party
One of my favorite parties of the year is my ladies-only spring tea party. I set up a fun little table in the backyard and pray for nice weather. This simple tea table, a few hats, and being outside transports us all to an old English Garden Party, at least that's what it feels like...
As guests arrive, they are greeted with a specialty cocktail and a name game. A buffet of small bites is set up in the kitchen, with pretty platters to set the tone. The place settings consist of DIY wicker chargers and thrift store finds.
I use varying tea pots and vases to create little flower arrangements to adorn the table. The dress code is Sunday Best and we typically wear sun hats, which I gave away at the first Tea Party 4 years ago.
We play games like Mafia and Mad Libs. (We talk in British accents for fun.) Then we sit around, chat, catch up, gossip, drink, and be merry. It has become an annual tradition.
If you feel like you do not see your girlfriends enough, I would suggest starting a tradition like this. It is something we can always count on and a place where we let our hair down. Cheers!
