Step One:
Decide on a date, place and time ( the best time for an afternoon tea party is around 3pm)
Then find some invitations and send them out to your friends and family.
Step Two:
Decide on what to bake, make and buy. Ive put in brackets what i decided.
Traditional English Afternoon Tea are served in three courses. Savouries ( sandwhiches and quiches), Scones ( freshly baked with cream and two choices of jam), and Sweets ( trifle, hedgehog slice, lemon slice, carrot cake, messy meringues with passion-fruit and blue berries, fairy cakes and birthday cake).
Then you need to select a range of teas ( english breakfast, french earl grey, green rose, and vanilla mint.) We also served coffee and punch!
To add a personal touch I made napkins, and table cloths - Easily done by cutting fabric into squares or rectangles of sizes of your choice, and then hemming all of the edges.
Ainsley then made tags for the tea and also name tags for our punch cups.
Step Three:
Once everything is prepared for the day, put on a party dress and enjoy yourself!!
