I am holding an afternoon tea party for the girls and especially one who has just had a baby girl.
I have a couple of teapots and 6 x cups and saucers and i have freecycled for more. How does this sound and is there anything I can add or change?
Pot of Tea (or two)
Bucks Fizz
crustless sandwiches of ham, egg mayo and cress, cheese
Fruit Scones (home made)
Jam Tarts (home made)
Cupcakes (pink)
well what do you think???

Sounds lovely, can I come :j
Are you going to have butter jam and cream in liitle help yourself pots for the scones?
And maybe a cafetiere of coffee for those that don't drink tea?0 -
Oh, and dare I suggest a home made lasagne or chicken pie or something for the new mummy to take home, new parents never have time to cook properly in my experience.0

I'm on my way!
Some nice napkins will look good, have fun!0 -

I am such a big kid and love to add a plate of bits like party rings, those mallow tea cake or snowball thingies, jammy dodgers etc.... but that takes away about of the graceful elegance!0

Thanks for your replies girls
Harriet - your suggestion of little pots of butter and jam are great and I will certainly do that and the suggestion of lasagne or the like is something i wouldn't have thought of but yes great idea!
Craftygranny - yumyum strawberries and cream oh yes they have been added to the list
Jem1276 - ha ha liking your style! you say it takes away graceful elegance having party rings etc its still a great ideaLucylema x :j0 -
How about a jug of home made lemonade with ice cubes and a sprig of mint? In this weather your friends might appreciate a cold drinkFind out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0

Something like a fool perhaps?
Went to the Wyndham for tea yesterday & they had a range of mini pastries and a small fool which was really good in cutting all the sweetness.

make sure you have jugs of plain cucumber / lemon water round for people who need to break the sugar rush!"This is a forum - not a support group. We do not "owe" anyone unconditional acceptance of their opinions."0
