Tea party baby shower

Baby shower themes:
A baby shower is celebrated as a tea party. Conversation is substituted for games, and the shower is kept at under 2 hours.

Baby shower invitations:
Two great options. Cut out teacup-shaped invitations, or send out elegant floral invites.

Decorations:
In one word- elegance! Display a bouquet of white and pink flowers. Use a pretty floral table cloth. Play soft music and bring out the good porcelain.

The menu:
Prepare a platter of tea flavors, and let guests choose. Have sugar cubes, lemon slices and milk on hand. Skip the cream, as it's usually too heavy for tea's delicate flavor. Display your teaspoons and serving utensils on a silver platter.
A light, tea time luncheon is best suited:

  • Tiny sandwiches. Choose your favorite topping (ham and apple, tuna, prosciutto) and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter
  • Scones
  • Muffins
  • Petit fours
Craving cookies? Consider having each guest bring a batch of her favorite recipe to serve with the tea.

Party favors:
Give each guest a variety of herbal teas.
