Afternoon tea fundraiser

Hi

Hoping someone will give an opinion.

I am involved in a small charity and we plan on holding an afternoon tea to raise some money.

Ideally, I would love if we could have 10 tables of 6 attending, and in my dreams, each table would have a complete set of china crockery. However, being able to have 10 sets of complete crockery is unlikely to happen, so would it look ok if there was a mismatch of crockery?

    A mismatch of crockery is very current, I believe!

    The ideal will be for each setting to have matching cup, saucer and plate, but that can be different at each setting on the table.

  • You can hire crockery from catering hire places. Unlikely to help you raise more money though.

    Your venue (church hall, etc) might also already have crockery you can use.

  • Thank you! Suddenly had a thought, we could call it a Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea Party, then anything can go! You have inspired me :)
