How to Host the Perfect Christmas Tea Party

Christmas is a time to celebrate with family, friends, and work colleagues, but can work out to be quite expensive. If you enjoy hosting dinner parties and having meals out over the festive holidays but find that your budget doesn't stretch that far.  This article looks at how to host the perfect Christmas Tea Party at a fraction of the cost.  This is the ultimate holiday celebration, instead of your typical Christmas dinner or cocktail party.

There so much preparation and organisation in hosting a dinner party and very little time to enjoy it yourself. On the other hand a Christmas tea party will give you the time and opportunity to socialize with your friends, while introducing them to some of your favourite teas.

Tea parties were first introduced in the Victorian era and have made quite a come back over the past couple of years. As a host you want everything to be perfect and a tea party can be a fitting way to celebrate Christmas. 

 I’ve had a few tea parties over the past couple of years but not all at Christmas and they are so easy to host. I bought some beautiful Black Slate tableware and it doesn’t matter what the occasion it looks so chic and stylish.

It’s hard wearing, easy to clean, durable and quite a fashion statement.  If I’m having a couple of my girlfriends round for afternoon tea, I might use my 3 tier slate cake stand filled with dainty sandwiches and an assortment of home made mini buns/cakes.   

To give the room atmosphere and colour, a slate candle holder is a must, for any occasion.
