The Tea Party Club
Send your guests home with special remembrance tea party
favors that you present to them as they depart. There are
many varieties of favors to purchase online. Try to stay with
your theme when choosing a tea party favor. We love the
miniature teapots and teacups as favors. Also, popular are
the fragranced soap favors and candle favors that are
available shaped as roses, shells, wedding cakes, and a
variety of other unique shapes. Favor tea bags or miniature
tea tins filled with delicious tea blends can be personalized
with the name of your guest of honor. When choosing tea
party favors, consider teabag caddies and tea infusers.
Choosing Party Favors…
Party favors are a great way to thank your guest for attending your special party. It is a little something to help remember
that special time.
When deciding on your party favors try coordinating them with your party theme. Coordinate your color, designs and other
elements of your party. A personalized favor is a nice touch, because you made them yourself and you took the time to
personalize them for your guest. They can be relatively inexpensive when you make them yourself.
Some examples of favors that you can make yourself are boxed favors, cookie favors or even a potted plant favor. Each
one of these can be personalized with your own special touches.
The boxed favor is usually a beautifully decorated tiny box filled with a special treat inside. You can decorate these boxes
to complement your color theme. A cookie favor is one that is very easy to do. You can be very creative the design of the
cookie. A small potted plant would be an excellent party favor as well as a wonderful take home gift for your guest. This is
something that you can also personalize. You can paint and decorate the small pot to match your party theme. You can
add some beautiful flowers and you are set for your party.

FAVORS MAKE YOUR TEA PARTY MEMORABLE
The finishing touch for any tea party is a favor that you give each guest to remember the occasion. Use your imagination
for the favor you give. You can be as extravagant, playful, exotic, elegant, or as whimsical as you choose. For example,
favors can reflect a theme, a season, a holiday, or simply your own personality. Following are some examples.
For a summer luau theme, give each guest a lei. For a winter solstice theme, give each guest a little moon or star from
metal, paper, or plastic. For a spring fling theme, give each guest a daisy. For Valentine’s Day, give each guest a pink or
red heart.
For a unique treat, provide the supplies for guests to make their own favors. For example, have guests put five to ten
plastic beads on a green pipe cleaner, wrap the ends together to form a circle, and tie a red ribbon on the wrapped ends.
Voila - they’ve made themselves a little holiday wreath. You can also purchase jewelry beads and elastic for jewelry from
a craft store, have guests string the beads on the elastic, tie a triple knot in the ends of the elastic, and guests then have
their own bracelet to take home.
For you, a favor is a special keepsake to thank guests for attending your party. For guests, however, the favor helps keep
the memory of your party alive. Each time they look at the favor, they can say to themselves, “Oh, I remember the tea party
when received this gift, and during the party, I also remember having a "wonderful
time".

Tea Party Accessories and Favors
If you want to give your guests a warm and welcoming feeling when they come to visit, brew a cup of your
favorite tea, serve it in your favorite tea pot and let the fun begin. Everyone loves tea especially when the weather
outside is a bit on the chilly side. The aroma of a freshly brewed cup of tea gives visitors a sense of comfort, but
it is the tea party accessories and favors that can make the time spent together even more special.
There are a multitude of tea party accessories and favors that will make your tea service complete, as well as add
character, elegance and charm to any gathering. Some pieces can be matched to your favorite teapot or cup and
saucer pattern. If your favorite set is a family heirloom that has been handed down to you, you will be sure to find
accessories that coordinate with what you already have. Most accessory pieces will compliment any heirloom
collection and unique and personal tea party favors will provide style and flair to any casual or sophisticated affair.
Housewarmings, bridal showers and baby showers are just a few event ideas in which you might choose to
conduct with a tea party theme. Elegant tea party favors presented as gifts to each attendee, the bridal party or
presented as a hostess gift can prove to make any event more special. There are tea-bag caddies, floating candles
and place-card holders in various themes that can easily serve as tokens to remember your special gathering by.
These favors can be used as part of the decorations for your party for all to enjoy but guests will be honored to

Some tea party accessories and favors are decorative but useful, such as cookie cutters, sewing kits and
bookmarks in a variety of favorite party themes. Others can express support for a favorite cause such as pink
ribbon gifts, which show support for the important focus on finding a cure for breast cancer. Some other fun
ideas include letter openers, scented sachets and photo coasters in which you place a favorite photo to share.
Ideas are endless but elegance and charm that tea party favor accessories and favors offer will remain with you
