Summer Herb Tea
Party Table
Decorations
The
decorations can be as simple or elaborate as you would like.
Pale yellow
and green make a lovely color combination for the Summer Herbal
Tea Party.
If you have a nice patio set, you may want to forgo the tablecloth and use
placemats instead. If using a tablecloth, try to find a pale green cloth for
the table that will contrast nicely with the pale yellow napkins.
If planning
a relaxed get together, paper napkins and plates are completely acceptable.
For a more formal summer herbal tea party, use pale yellow chair scarves and
bone china table settings.
Bone china
cups and saucers are required even for an informal tea. If you do not have
enough, request that each of your guests bring their favorite cup and saucer
to the tea. A formal tea would require china place settings and linen
napkins.
For the
centerpiece, visit your local garden center and purchase potted rosemary
plants, hopefully, they will have the ones look like small trees. Purchase a
large one for the center and enough small ones so that each guest will be
able to take one home as a summer herb tea party favor. Simply arrange the
small rosemary plants around the large one. Tie yellow ribbons around the
plants for added color in the center of the table.
Placards
for the summer herb tea party can be made using herbal bouquets, white
cardstock, green felt pen, stickers depicting herbs and a bright ribbon. Cut
rectangles from the cardstock and write the guest's name on the card with
the green felt pen. Decorate the white areas with the herbal stickers. Make
or purchase herbal bouquets. Nestle the name card in the bouquet and place
one placard bouquet on each of the yellow napkins.
