Bridal Tea

I hosted a bridal shower tea party for a friend of mine.

I decided to have it at my Mom's house because she decorates in the Victorian era and that was the look I wanted for the tea.

The centerpieces are from around my Mom's house.

I wanted to keep the colors fairly neutral...hence the brown/tan colored plates & cups.

I needed to keep costs low so I had other friends help with the desserts, candy for the favors, and hot tea supplies.

• Party Favors

  Boxes filled with individually wrapped candy

• Activities / Games

  Give each guest a 3X5 card and ask them to write down a question pertaining to marriage. Have them pass the card to their neighbor. Then they write their original answer on the back of their neighbor's card. You come out with some pretty interesting answers to the questions!

• Budget

  Because everyone chipped in and the fact that my Mom had most of the items...I would say it cost maybe $50 between everything that was bought.

• Best Moment

  Everyone enjoying the tea and conversation!

• Funniest Moment

  Reading the 'mismatched' questions and answers!

• What People Ate

  Brownies; Cinnamon Cupcakes; Cherry & Blueberry tarts; Cookies

• What People Drank

  Hot Tea Variety; Water with lemon; Lemonade
