How to Host a Bridgerton Tea Party

If you're a fan of the elegant charm and romantic escapades depicted in Netflix's Bridgerton, why not bring that enchanting world to life with your very own Bridgerton tea party?

Hosting an afternoon tea inspired by the Regency-era style is a delightful way to gather friends and indulge in a moment of sophistication and fun.

Here’s how to plan the perfect Bridgerton tea party that even Lady Whistledown would approve of!

1. Send Out Invitations 

Consider sending out invitations that echo the style of Bridgerton, perhaps with floral designs and elegant fonts. Tea parties are typically held in the afternoon, so you could aim for a weekend with your friends, or opt for the evening so you can watch the show together after work!

2. Set the Scene

Create an enchanting atmosphere with elegant décor. Think about using floral arrangements, vintage china, and beautiful table linens. Soft pastel colors, lace, and delicate candles can enhance the Regency vibe. If you have access to an outdoor space, consider hosting your tea party in a garden for a truly picturesque setting.

3. Select the Perfect Teas

No tea party is complete without the perfect selection of teas! Offer a variety of blends to cater to different tastes.

Our Self Care Elixir tea would be a great option for those looking for something calming and caffeine free. It's a herbal moringa blend with subtle undertones of citrus and cinnamon.

For an uplifting energizing blend, Aim Chai would be a great choice, it's a chai black tea blend with undertones of cocoa!

4. Prepare Delectable Treats

A traditional tea party features an array of delicious treats. Consider including:

• Finger Sandwiches: Cucumber, smoked salmon, and egg salad sandwiches are classics.
• Scones: Serve with clotted cream and jam for a true British experience.
• Pastries and Cakes: Miniature cakes, tarts, and macarons are perfect for a touch of sweetness.

5. Dress the Part

Encourage your guests to dress in Regency-inspired attire. Think flowing gowns, waistcoats, and gloves for the ladies, and dapper suits for the gentlemen. You can even provide fun props like feather fans and hats for guests to use during the event.

6. Engage in Fun Activities

To truly immerse your guests in the Bridgerton experience, consider adding activities such as:

• Tea Tasting: Educate your guests about the different tea blends you’re serving, including the delightful notes of our Blissfully Blue tea.
• Bridgerton Trivia: Test your guests' knowledge of the show with a fun trivia game.
• Penny for Your Thoughts: Set up a "gossip corner" where guests can anonymously share their thoughts and musings, just like Lady Whistledown.

7. Capture the Memories

Don’t forget to take photos during your tea party! Create a whimsical photo booth area with props and backdrops for guests to take memorable snapshots. This way, you can preserve the elegance and fun of the day.
