A bridal shower tea party theme is a lovely idea. Large or small, a bridal shower tea party can be an intimate affair. Picture your guests seated at tables with "real" tablecloths and "real china". These items, alone, will set the tone of the party. So, if relaxation is key, you're on the right track.

Tea Party Bridal Shower Invitations should convey a quiet elegance. A picture of a teapot, tea cup, or floral design are all possible choices. How about including a tea bag inside?

Tea party menus include:
• Brewed tea: offer your guests several flavors. It is also a nice idea to offer iced tea.
• Scones
• Finger sandwiches: these always look fancy, but are actually very simple to make. Start with your choice of bread. Remove the crust. Take two pieces and fill with chicken salad, tuna, egg salad, etc. Cut in half, on a diagonal, forming two triangles. Using different types of bread and fillings will add visual interest.
• Tea cakes or pastries
• Cookies: a great tea party idea is to make or buy these in the shapes of a teapot and teacups.

Bridal shower tea party theme decorations should be simple but elegant. Linen tablecloths in soft colors display a dreamy look. You can leave these plain, or cover with lace tablecloths. A small floral print or gingham are other pretty options. Fresh flowers are always in good taste. A teapot filled with flowers makes a lovely centerpiece. Use lace doilies under the centerpiece for that extra touch.
