My dad passed away about 8 years ago and my mom is getting re-married to a widower. They do not want gifts at their small/low-key wedding.
My mom has thrown showers and parties for my siblings and I and we would like to have a party to celebrate her upcoming wedding. I'm planning on having a tea for her closest family and friends, just so we can get together to celebrate that my mom is finally happy again!!!!!
I will be booking a tea party at a local arboretum where they will serve tea, sandwiches and dessert. But I have a few questions that maybe ya'll could help me with.
1. Should I call this a bridal tea? or a shower?
2. Mom is in her sixties, is downsizing and doesn't want gifts, so how to I word this on an invite?
3. If we're not opening gifts, what the heck do we do? I don't want the afternoon to be boring!!
Thanks in advance!!
