Tea Celebrations...How It Works
You cannot imagine how lovely and relaxing your tea will be! As hostess, you have nothing to do except visit with your guests and enjoy yourself...
Contacting Your Guests
Invitations may be sent to your guests directly by you, or Tea Celebrations will prepare custom invitations and mail them for you. The cost for preparation and mailing each invitation is $1.50. Please ask for samples if you would like to take advantage of this service. The guests will RSVP directly to you.
Choose Your Menu
A packet of information will be sent to you. The packet will include a Menu Choice Page designed for your tea. You will choose your custom menu from our menu page. All food is homemade.
On the Day of Your Tea
On the day of your tea, we arrive at your home approximately 1 hour early to decorate the table(s) and chairs. Your table setting will include fine linens, antique china and sterling silver. We begin preparing the food in your kitchen. We bring everything and need only the use of your stove, oven and sink.
