Pretty glass vessels are filled with rock candy, salt water taffy, Jordan almonds, and chocolate candies. The table is draped in rich blue and apple green linens with gorgeous satin chair sashes. Favor crackers were made from tissue paper rolls covered in wax paper and tied with ribbons, designed to resemble individually wrapped salt water taffy candies.

Are you interested in throwing a tea party for your little girls, or maybe for you and the ladies? Then you have come to the right place. Here you will find tips on how to throw a majestic tea party that will have you all feeling like princesses!
First off, the weather. The whole idea of this "Spring Tea” is to enjoy the spring time for it is the season of growth and sun that we all love to enjoy, and to be quite frank, its hard to enjoy the sun and warm breeze from behind closed doors. Bring the tea outside.
Start out with the invitations. They do not necessarily have to be anything special nonetheless formal, you could even hand-make them if you’d like. Its simple. You can pick up card stock and cute little patterns from your local scrap booking store, and there you go. Glue on the pattern and say what you may. Be sure to include time, place, attire if necessary, and the occasion. Be sure your guests know that the Spring Tea will be held outside for some may have allergies or need a light jacket. Either way, it is best to be prepared.
Next, the sitting arrangements are key. Again, depending on how many guests you plan to invite, be sure they all have a seat. Your backyard, lawn chairs may suffice, but if there are more guests than chairs, contact your local rec. center. Places like that usually have tables and benches that you can easily decorate and cover to rent on a daily basis. They typically should not cost you more than $40 to rent for one day.
After you have the table settings taken care of, food and tea are the next step. After all, what is a Spring Tea without the tea itself. Since there are so many types of teas, you could either have a wide selection ranging from mint, to berry, or the basic sweet tea with lemons. If you are trying to save money, in the invitation, either prepare a list of tea’s that one may like and have them respond, or when they RSVP, be sure to ask what they prefer, so that way you can narrow down the selection to just a few. As for the food, that simple. Cookies and sandwiches are all you need. Whether the cookies be homemade chocolate chip, or ones that you may purchase from a bakery, they will both go over just as well as the next. Sandwiches could be tricky, so you could set-up a buffet where they can create their own, or make three different types and just hope everyone likes them. Usually at tea parties there are scones and such, but if you are trying to make this one memorable, try different appetizers including wraps, quesadillas, or shrimp cocktail. Those little cucumber sandwiches, no matter how healthy they might be, often leave your guests hungrier than they were when they first arrived. Offer your guests personalized tea favors. Be spontaneous!
Lastly, the entertainment. Your party may function just fine with conversation and laughter, but its fun to keep everyone on their toes. Games such as Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, or Guess that Tune, can be a hit as well. You don’t have to try hard to impress your closest friends, they already know you, and love you just the way you are!
Flowers are an integral part of all weddings, so it is a natural step to take to actually base your whole wedding around a floral theme. Daisies in particular are very popular with many people, and in fact there are a lot of party favors designed for weddings that have the daisy in mind as part of their design. What???s more, these favors can provide ideas for the whole wedding as well.
For example you can buy miniature take out boxes adorned with daisies and filled with tiny amorini hearts. These look stunning on the tables and make a wonderful and very elegant choice at any time of the year.
Weddings which use daisies as a recurring theme are more likely to be held in the summer though, and you will soon see that many party favors featuring daisies have a look and feel about them that is well suited to a summer wedding. The favor boxes holding chocolate amorini hearts are a classic example ??" these are topped with orange and pink Gerber daisies, which are very summery and can also suggest colors to use for the overall decorative features in the wedding venue itself. Pink and orange might not be the first colors that spring to mind, but in pastel shades they can look very unique and certainly have that wow factor.
You can of course also buy party favors which feature daisies on the packaging, such as the daisies on the adorable heart shaped favor boxes which contain a small and sweet edible treat inside. Daisy shaped soaps and daisy candle favors would also be well received, and in fact the daisy candles could also be used to help add some light once the evening wears on and the sun goes down.
When we think of daisies we tend to think about the fresh white petals and the yellow centers, which can make a wonderful addition to any wedding. Just imagine swathes of white material swooping down from the ceiling of your wedding venue, with just a touch of yellow here and there as an accent. It is an unusual color scheme but no less stunning for that.
You can also make your centerpieces floral in nature with plenty of daisies in the finished display. Dried flowers are another alternative, or you could opt for a larger number of smaller displays rather than mixing daisies in with other flowers as well.
A daisy themed wedding can be a simple choice, and if you are going to opt for the traditional white wedding dress then it can fit it beautifully. Daisies are nice and light in color, full of the joys of summer and very attractive to the eye. You could even use the theme of daisy chains as well if you wanted to ??" just imagine huge lengths of daisy chains made from material to decorate the room.
In short, if you want a floral wedding but you don???t want it to be too heavy in color, daisies might be just what you are looking for.

Tuscany is a region near the middle of Italy and is well known for its red wines, beautiful scenery and cuisine. The Tuscan theme is simple country elegance.
