How to Plan for Afternoon Tea Party?

Afternoon tea is refreshing and makes you active for the rest of the day. If you have been going out to have one, you will really be excited to know that it is easy to have a tea-party at home.

The best thing is that you don’t need a big reason to host one and the expenses you would be making on buying teas, teacups, teapots, and other decor accessories will last long after as well.

However, you need to care about the ambiance you create as it sets the tone of the party and that’s why decoration matters. The table around which you will serve your guests should go beyond mere good looks. Here are some kitchen decor ideas for the day:

1 - Table Covers

Even if you have an expensive table, you need a table cover. Ask why? You want the table to be a focal point and protect it against any spillovers.

Table Runners and Cloths

You can instantly add elegance to the table with unique table runners. The patterned table runners evoke interest in the table.

Then you can consider a blended (cotton/polyester) table cloth. It comes with the crispness of cotton and the shine of polyester. Larger ones that hang about 3-5 inches over the edges are better than those which barely cover the top. Simple color (white/ivory) and the pattern are better. Blended clothes can be washed in the home against the expensive linen ones which need professional care.
