Tea Party
Whether you’re a little girl or a lady of society, having a tea party is an elegant way to share a table and nosh with the coziest of friends. From a young age, tea parties are a whimsical girl’s birthday idea. Moving along through maturity, bridal tea parties become quite the caffeinated affair. When I was younger, I remember my mother hosting her bridge and tea parties with all of her girlfriends. They would get together and sip on their imported Earl Grey as they gabbed about their old men. It was just about the cutest thing I had ever seen and I remember trying to listen in as to not miss a peep of this giddy heart-to-heart.
I think of this timeless tradition every time I hear the whistle of my own tea kettle and I can’t help but want to gather my girls for my own fête of friendship, savoring every sip.
