Celebrate life's simple pleasures with Tea

Desperate Sportswives Tea Party

Last week our post told the story of my friend and her desire to have the superbowl widows over for tea!

Her are her answers to my questions to help plan the party:

*what would make the evening tea party magical for her? Soft music, a few good friends and chocolate

*Had she ever attended a tea party before? NO, but she did have lunch at a tearoom with me last year.

* What items would she like to see on the menu? Cute little sandwiches, pretty desserts, no salsa!

* What is her favorite type of tea? Black Tea

* How many desperate sportswives are planning to attend? Keep it simple, 5 plus me

                                                        * Would she like to have party favors? Yes, something that they can take home

And last but never least-what is her budget? $10 per person, food and favor, she could go over a bit if needed.

Our Menu:

Tea: Chocolate Romance- a rich black tea blended with rose petals and chocolate flavoring. Not too chocolatey, nice and velvety. No calories, no guilt!

Spring greens salad with strawberries and almonds with balsamic dressing- there's nothing like a little pink sprinkled in the salad!

Open faced cucumber sandwiches with olive garnish

CelebraTEA-Desperate Sportswives Tea Party

I was speaking with a friend last night and she had me doubled over, tears in the face, belly laughing, falling off the chair- she was reliving her Monday night football escapades.

She belongs to that elite club of women who are married to Football FANS. Many of you can relate to her situation, perhaps even commiserate with her.

To help get her thru the season, I offered to throw a tea party at her house, for the football widows of course!

First, I asked her a few questions:

 *what would make the evening tea party magical for her?

*Had she ever attended a tea party before?

* What items would she like to see on the menu?

* What is her favorite type of tea?

* How many desperate sportswives are planning to attend?

* Would she like to have party favors?

And last but never least-what is her budget?

These are guidelines that will help in planning a tea party- any theme. Stay tuned for her reply and plan your tea party along with us!
