| A Supercalifragilistic Proper English Tea "Practically Perfect in Every Way" |
Tea Party Part1 - The Theme
Tea Party Part2 - The Menu
Tea Party Part3 - 1200+ Cricut Cuts
Tea Party Part4 - The Decorations
Today I'm ending the series with the actual event highlights--and integrating all the other parts of the series into the "main event". This was SO much fun, but definitely a lot of work went into it. Though we had a planning team of six, we had some extra help with the decorations and food assembly which really helped in final preparations. One of the things that made this tea party so fun was that several men & teenage boys from our church, including my husband & son, waited on us ladies! They plated the food, served the food & beverages, and even washed the dishes! You might even say that they were at our "beck and call". Just don't tell my hubby I said that -- LOL. They weren't so interested in our tea party food for sustenance...so we made sure to have plenty of pizza for their hearty appetites.
I guess the best way to tell the story is through pictures, and there's a lot -- but I hope you enjoy the journey!

Finally, as I conclude this series, let me leave you with the scripture that was the cornerstone of our tea party:
"Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." I Timothy 4:12
Blessings, Lisa
