How Do You Plan A 75Th Birthday Tea Party?
Giving a tea party is no longer something taught to every young girl. Having friends to a celebratory tea, however, is a wonderful way to mark a 75th birthday or other special occasion for someone who grew up with afternoon teas. Make cookies and finger sandwiches, set your table, and invite friends to greet the birthday guest. Those who have friends for tea often will remind you that the best polish for your silver spoon is frequent use. Make the party special by asking all invited guests to contribute a page to a 75th-birthday memory book, a unique gift for the guest of honor. Plan seating for your guests. If you cannot seat everyone, try to make certain that there are chairs for guests over 50 years old. The old-fashioned art of juggling a pocketbook, a tea cup, and something delicious perched on the saucer while standing is one that is best forgotten. Provide small tables by chairs wherever possible. Tables should provide space for a tea cup with saucer and a small plate for cookie
