Tea Party Ideas, Teapot Art & Social graces by vikram kuamr
Currently, more attention is given to social graces and spending a quiet time with friends and family. Tea parties are a great way to combine social etiquette and special bonding moments. Drinking tea has earned its social distinction, finding its way into luncheons and high-class tea parties. This kind of social gathering ranges from simple tea and pastries afternoons with friends to the tea parties of the elite, rich & famous much like what you see in the movies with well heeled women sipping daintily from their ceramic tea cups.
The tea party is a concept taken from the favourite pastimes of the English. Tea party ideas vary wildly from elegant Victorian-theme gatherings, to modern teenage tea parties. Tea rooms are also turning out to be increasingly popular in recent times. You will find cozy booths and rooms that have a quiet ambience and a warm setting. It can be the perfect place to spend lazy afternoons in quiet conversations with friends. If you do want to hold a tea party for your friends, you don't have to spend too much time preparing for it.
If it is a simple get together with your friends for a chit-chat, you can simply put together sandwiches like tomato and mozzarella, ham and cheese or the classic salmon & cucumber. If you want to add a touch of creativity or elegance into your sandwiches, you can use a cookie cutter to shape the bread. Or else, you can cut them into traditional small squares or triangles. Aside from the sandwiches, you can also add in pastries like Danish cookies, muffins, or scones. A tea party usually lasts around two hours.
When you do not know how to organize a tea party, you can ask for party tips from your friends. Otherwise, you can look for party ideas on the Internet. You will find friendly advice from other creative women through online forums like the one hosted by Chinese tea specialists at The Exotic Teapot. There you'll find lots of tea party ideas and tips that you can follow. You can start your own tea club for mothers and daughters. You can gather your friends and their daughters for a monthly gathering or charity event. Or else, you can set up a tea break in your office. You can then surprise your colleagues with a pot of tea and a tray of delicious scones. If you want, you can ask your visitors to bring their favorite pastries or cakes and include them in the display tray.
There are plenty of party tips that will make your tea gathering even more enjoyable and memorable. One of these is giving away party favors such as flavored tea, teabag holders or strainers, teapot coasters, or a recipe printed on scented floral paper. Tea party ideas include proper social graces. If you want, you can even use this as a theme for your party. You can teach young ladies the right etiquette during tea parties. This might include for instance the right way of stirring tea with the teaspoon. You can also teach them that it is not correct to hit the sides of the teacup with the spoon. When drinking the tea, a lady of good standing should lift the cup and the saucer together, with one hand holding the saucer and the other with the cup.
A crucial component of any tea party is the tea set or centerpiece used to serve the tea. Many party hosts are on the lookout for something original and highly unusual. A teapot that's not just a serving vessel but also a talking point of the tea party is highly prized. There are many teapot artists today that look to exploit this trend by creating unique one of a kind teapots and artistic tea sets. They use a wide variety of materials like glass, pottery, ceramics and metals.
