Organizing a tea party table for guests is a great way to show off your entertaining skills. Follow this step-by-step guide to turn your living space into a chic and inviting tea party.
Step 1: Prepare
Before you set up your table, decide on how many guests you are hosting and whether you need to borrow additional tablecloths, plates, and other tea party supplies. Ensure that all the items are clean and in good condition.

Adding a theme will make your tea party even more enjoyable. Choose a favorite color, book, or artist. You can place the chosen items throughout your tea party decorations – from the tablecloth to the place settings.
Step 3: Set the Table
Start by laying down a colorful tablecloth. Place placemats and plates down and add a centerpiece, like a basket filled with scones and fresh flowers.
Step 4: Add Extras
Plates of cake and sandwiches are traditional for tea parties. You can also add other treats, like mini cupcakes, scones, jam, and honey.
For a truly polished look, add:
- Cloth napkins
- Creamers and sugar bowls
- Finger bowls
- Teacups and saucers
Step 5: Brew the Tea
Brew your favorite tea in a teapot and place it on the table with a tea cozy. Provide a variety of tea flavors for your guests to try.
Step 6: Enjoy
Once everything is set up and ready to go, it’s time to enjoy your tea party. Gather your friends, serve the tea and treats, and have a wonderful time!
