Tea Party menu

honeysucklerose · February 2010

My fiance and I are having a May 2011 wedding.

The reception will sort of be split in two:
A "tea party" where the whole guest list is involved, and a bonfire which will be much more intimate and may also involve some campfire goodies (burgers--veggie included, brats/ hot dogs, s'mores, etc)

My questions, however, all center around the menu for the "tea party" bit.

So far we've thought of doing...

mini desserts (like hors d'oeuvres)

coffee... bar? selection?

tea... How, exactly?

perhaps a lemonade bar (plain, raspberry, lavendar, etc)

cake, of course

some sort of lady finger sandwich? we'd like a small variety...any ideas?

Kids food: a big ole pot of goldfish crackers, PB & J cut like the lady fingers, apple slices, kid-friendly veggies (perhaps ants-on-a-log they can make themselves) ... any other ideas?

I'd really appreciate ideas. Thanks!

Ooh, great idea! You're right, dainty sandwiches (like cucumber and cream cheese, smoked salmon, I love a thinly shaved ham and cheese as well, but it's not traditional) are a must. Here's a link to Martha Stewart's Tea menu. Scones, clotted cream and a locally produced jam would be awesome - and my favorite part of any tea party. You could serve the tea in an antique urn:

Many rental places have ones like this to rent out - I'd probably do two kinds of tea: a spring darjeeling or lady grey and something heavier like an Assam. I highly recommend checking out Stash Tea for their selection. You can order sampler packs of their teas too.
