How to Host a Tea Party

It's the perfect way to set the scene and tie everything together. Whether you opt for delicate florals, classic British elegance or one of our signature collections, a theme helps make every tea party feel extra special.

Consider where you'll host it - at home, a local venue, or if the weather's "good", embrace the British stoicism and brave the great outdoors. We're ever the optimist...

In the name of tradition, why not handwrite them and include an RSVP card?

Every great tea party starts with a proper pot of tea. We'd recommend Darjeeling or a classic Afternoon Tea blend, accompanied by finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and tempting sweet treats. Need inspiration? Take a peek at some of our favourite recipes from over the years.
