FEATURED TEA-RELATED FAVOR IDEA: THE TEA BAR
A 'Tea Bar' works the same way as a food bar. Guests' help themselves to flavors that take their fancy, indulging in blends they may not have tried before. It's a fun, unique and thoughtful way to make your favors a memorable part of the day.
But how do you set it up?
First, think about how you would like to display the different options. Will you use bowls? Jars? Lined baskets? A combination of all three?
Once that's settled, turn your attention to the tea itself. Source small packets of various tea blends or loose leaves. Will you offer unique flavors? Traditional teas? Or a mix of both?
Place each option in their own display container and attach a label describing the aroma, taste, etc. if you wish. Set aside some small tongs or scoops to make it easier for guests to grab their flavor of choice.
And finally, leave out a selection of favor boxes or bags, ready to be filled!
Handy Tip:
Glass jars are a great and inexpensive way to display items (such as tea). Simply save any jars from your cooking escapades, and ask friends/family to do the same. The more shapes, sizes and heights, the better/
Delightful Additions:
Think outside the teacup! Treat party goers to a selection of goodies that pair well with a hot cuppa. This could be cookies or biscuits, tea flavoured lollies, or even cute, heart-shaped sugar!

A PERSONALIZED TOUCH
Make a lasting impression by adding a personalised touch to your favors. It's a wonderful way to make guests feel truly special!
- Attach a handwritten thank-you note to any favor
- Create tea bag tags with each guest's name and a special message
- Customise tea-related items (such as teacups, saucers or teaspoons) with guests' initials or a special message
- Find tea infusers with initial charms that reflect each guest's name (e.g. B for Bec, T for Trudy)
- Organise beautiful, personalised tea towels for each guest to take home.
- Print out recipe cards and write individualized thank-you messages on the back
FEATURED PERSONALISED FAVOR IDEA: THE RECIPE CARD
An inexpensive bridal shower favor that will be well-received (and the bride gets to be in on it , too!)
To create, start by asking the guest of honor for her favourite recipe. To tie in with the theme, narrow it down to her favourite 'tea recipe', or favourite 'high-tea recipe'. Type it up and then print onto fancy paper or thin cardstock (enough for one per guest).
Now, the bride can write individualised notes on the back of each recipe card; showcasing her appreciation for each guest attending her shower and making it such a wonderful day!
