Party Recap
Our eldest daughter turned two, so what better time to have a tea party!? Guests dressed up for afternoon tea. Guests were invited to adorn themselves for the occasion upon arrival: Dress up jewelry for women and coordinating bow ties for the men in attendance.
Handmade decor: fabric garland, number two made of flower collage, hanging tulle puffs, burlap table runner, teapot invitations. Also: fresh flowers, tea light votives, balloons, FiestaWare tea cups and saucers, heirloom teaspoons and Delft tea cups from my Dutch grandmother
Our extended families visited, enjoyed a “tea party”, opened gifts, sang "Happy Birthday", ate cupcakes, and had a photo booth (these pictures get developed for the thank you cards after the party)! Charming afternoon tea. Photo credits to my husband!
