Baby Shower Theme: Tea Time

Tea time is a great baby shower theme if the mom-to-be is a tea lover. Check with her to see what her favorite teas are and if you planning to do it at a tea shop, ask her which one is her favorite. Here are some ideas to help you plan.

At Home
If you are going to be doing the shower at home, it is important to have a selection of teas. At least one black, green, and herbal tea should be available. If you are not sure what to pick, go to a local tea shop and ask for suggestions. You may want to do one selection of teas at a time to make it easier to prepare the teas. You could do a green tea to start out the shower, an herbal tea in the middle, and a black dessert tea at the end. It is a good idea to have someone available to help you with preparing the teas.

At a Tea Shop
If possible, you will want to book the party at a tea shop that has a private room. Since many tea shops are small, this may be difficult to find. If a private room is not available, do it at a tea shop that can at least give you a table or group of tables in a semi-private corner of the shop. Check to see if your group will need to order teas off of a limited menu. You will also want to check with the shop to see how the food needs to be handled. It will likely be easier all around if you simply select what foods you want served rather than ordering off of a limited menu for food.
