Tea Party Baby Shower
Invitation
Tea party baby shower
invitations are a great idea for your high tea baby shower. If
you're thinking about having a tea party baby shower, the first
thing you need to do is get planning.
A planning book is a good start. Write
everything down in a central location such as a spiral notebook so
you can keep all your information together about plans, decorations,
invitations, guest lists, food lists and gift ideas.
If the
expectant mother has registered somewhere, be sure you have this
information for your invitations. Once she has let you know who
should be invited, it's time to order the tea party baby shower
invitations.
A tea party is a lovely idea
for a baby shower. Set up the tables with pretty table cloths and
lovely tea pots and put out little china tea cups and saucers. Make
everything dainty in terms of the food such as little sandwiches,
cakes, tarts and small appetizer trays.
A good supply of the following
is helpful too:
* Spoons
* Loose tea in many flavors
*
Tea strainers
* Dessert forks
* Trays
* Sugar cubes, raw
sugar, sweetener
* Milk
Your tea
party baby shower invitation should indicate that you are having a
tea party. This gives your guests an idea of what to expect. There
are lovely options and you can also get matching table cards, name
tags, yard signs and the appropriate decorations, centerpieces and
floral arrangements. A diaper cake is also a nice touch and gift for
the expectant mother.
Today's
invitations can be really cute. They can be pretty or funny and can
be very personalized as well. A great idea is to buy thank you notes
for the expectant mom and give them to her as a private gift. This
can help her get to the task of writing thank you notes as soon as
she gets a chance, rather than her having to run out to buy
some.
Looking for an edible baby
shower favor?
Whether your tea party is indoors or outdoors, it's
a nice idea to play a few games to involve the guests. This can be a
time passer while you wait for all the guests to arrive or to pass
the time.
Prizes can be awarded as well and you can find
a large selection of game ideas online as well as purchase game
supplies from your party supplier. Along with party favors, it's a
good idea to plan enough gifts that everyone who attends has the
possibility of winning.
At a baby shower tea party you
might want to give out a few china tea cups or selections of tea and
confectionary.
Beyond party games for prizes, fun things can
also be done to build a nice collection for the guest of honor. You
can do story cards where everyone at the shower shares a special
memory about the Mom to be and the collection is put together as a
gift and special keepsake for the Mom at the end of the tea
party.
You can buy a large selection
of favors including: soaps, tea, drinks, chocolates, bakery mixes
and other items that are labeled with a personalized tag for the day
as a memento as well. For a nice finishing touch, the hostess can
put a nice photo of the mom to be with her belly in all its glory
dominating the photo it in a lovely box with the collection of
stories, her tea party baby shower invitation and other personalized
pieces for the day to give to the Mom to be at the
end.
