In this post, Miss Party will take you through the in’s and out’s of setting the Turkish tea table! This is a continuation from “An Exotic Turkish Tea Party, Part 1″. ‘Turkish tea’ is rich, dark and spicy! When brewed, the tea is a beautiful reddish brown color. It’s a black tea from Rize, Turkey, […]
Miss Party had to split this post, so this is a continuation of “GLAM Your Glass!”, Part 1. When you have a pretty firm idea of your guest count, it’s time to make a run to the craft store. Have a rough estimate of your budget in mind for your station. It’s pretty hard to […]
A “GLAM your Glass!” station is such a fun ice breaker activity and conversation starter for adults or teens that goes over particularly well at a “ladies only” type of party – we ladies do love our bling! This idea obviously works well with a wine glass where wine will be served like a Cocktail […]
Well, this week is flying by and Miss Party still hasn’t had time to delve into to the 800 pics of the Mad Tea Party to extract some of the best –but she’s workin’ on it. She’s pulled out a couple to tide you over until she can get through all the rest of the […]

This is a continuation of “Paper Lace” Inspiration, Part 1. Choose a pretty, solid tablecloth that will set off the lace doilies to their best advantage. Miss Party chose several shades of pink. Use 14 in. round or 10×14 in. rectangular lace doilies as placemats, as you see below. Use small doily-inspired stickers to embellish […]
Miss Party’s vision is to combine the practical retro styling of the English message and play that against the quintessential English Tea. The key twist is to take the fussiness out of the typical old-fashioned English Tea Party and do a WHITE ONLY mix and match tea service. It’s just a bit Mad Tea Party […]

Miss Party loves a beautiful fabric flower!! There are many gorgeous, tiny, delicate versions floating around out there. This denim flower version isn’t tiny or delicate, they’re super-sized! Denim/recycled blue jeans fabric makes a sturdy flower, yet still imitates the delicate nature of a flower, and has the added surprise of being made from something […]
Miss Party wants to suggest you inject a bit of English humor into this year’s Easter Brunch and turn it upside down –have a Mad Hatter’s Easter Brunch! You’ve got to figure the Easter Bunny and the White Rabbit are distant cousins and, of course, the March Hare probably is, too. Whether it’s just for […]
