Your tea party must have list

Are you planning a tea party? Do you wonder what your tea party must have list contains? When I walked into my first tea room on Balboa Island, I was hooked. It was like walking into Disneyland.  I was overwhelmed by all the cute things you need or could have for tea time to have a small or large tea party.

What should be on your Tea Party Must Have List?

So I sat down and started writing lists and planning all the things I would need to start a tea party business. This post is not to show you how to start a business, but it is to help you be the best host at your next event. Either bridal shower, birthday party, kids party or baby shower, this will work for any of them. In my post top ten things for your next tea party, it gives you a brief list of things to help you plan or should consider.

 

This is an expanded list and detailed plan that you can come back to and hopefully pin so you won’t forget. I wouldn’t mind if you shared it either. hint, hint.

I have even created a Tea Party Printable Checklist for you to print off below.
