A Right Royal Tea Party

My Dear Friends,

Now the days are longer and warmer, I like nothing better than to enjoy my garden. A delicious cup of tea with a light repast compliments a sunny day in just the right way. My mind is always planning dinner parties, picnics and lovely afternoon tea parties when the weather is fair. Let us create an elegant garden tea party, one in celebration of our Sovereign’s birthday. You will need a pretty invitation to entice those you wish to attend as well as a menu to tempt their palate. Who could refuse such a request?

For this swap, we shall have one partner. To that partner we will refashion a note card so that the front cover is prettily decorated with a theme of tea and perhaps a crown to give it that regal look. Inside on the left, shall have our invitation, and to the right, the menu. On the back cover, a little note to your partner. That is all you need to complete this swap. Be as fancy as you like, and why not enjoy a cup of tea while you work on this little project.

Good Day, my dear friends, I hope to see you all at my own garden party,

Lady Elizabeth

The details:

You may use a store bought notecard or make a card, the size is up to the sender. Decorate your card any way you like, embracing the tea theme. You must have an invitation, a menu and a note to your partner. Your menu should include two sweets and two savouries as well as the type of tea you will serve. Your note does not have to be in character. The intention was for this swap to be flat and easily sent, but if you are inclined to embellish more, that is perfectly okay also.

If there are questions we are always happy to help.
