Serve Bite-Sized Snacks

Mini tea sandwiches are a go-to snack for a tea party. My favorite recipe is a few slices of cucumber and vegetable cream cheese on white bread. Cut into triangles for bite-sized snacking.

Offer French Macarons

You’ll definitely need French macarons. Made with almond flower, they are gluten free and delicious. I like to choose my macarons based on color to match them to the decor. For a party based on roses, I went with red, pink, light green and a pretty speckled ivory.

Make a Pot of Tea

Brew a pot of English Breakfast tea for your guests. Serve in a feminine tea pot covered in flowers. Tea cups with matching saucers, also in a floral print, let your guests have a true experience of an English tea party.

Embellish Mini Cupcakes

Besides the macarons, keep the rest of the desserts miniature as well. Mini store-bought cupcakes are appropriately decorated for the party by placing a cut spray rose on top of each one.

Stack Sweets on a Stand

Miniature cream puffs, piled high on a three tier ceramic stand, look pretty next to French macarons and accents of fresh roses.

Beautify a Store-Bought Cake

Search your grocery store baking section for a mini cake with white icing. Style the cake on a small cake stand. Create a quick DIY cake topper by sticking roses and baby’s breath right into the cake for a beautiful way to update an inexpensive store-bought cake.

Bring Out the Fancy Dishes

English tea parties evoke a very feminine and pretty aesthetic. Keep that going through the use of floral china, girly tea pots and ornate three-tier stands for the mini snacks.

That table runner? It’s rose-printed wrapping paper. Create more texture and layers by placing a few pretty doilies under your tea cups.

Craft a Charming Banner

Cut the rose wrapping paper into a long banner. Use your best cursive handwriting to write a sweet welcome message to the soon-to-be newborn baby. Hang on the wall with glue dots right above your floral garland. Learn to make this show-stopping rose garland here.

Gift the favors in small canning jars with white plastic lids. To make the favors extra special, wrap a vintage floral ribbon around each lid and secure with hot glue.
