Have a Pretty Little Vintage Teatime with These Decor & Tea Boxes

Posted by Timothy Paradis

Care for a spot of tea? Maybe it’s time to host an afternoon tea with friends, complete with fresh-baked scones, mini cupcakes and all the rest. Break out your most decorative cake stands, pop a pretty pastel centerpiece on the table, string a little bunting overhead and, of course, brew up a delicious pot of tea for a good ol’ fashioned vintage tea party.

Come to think of it, tea parties are perfect for so many special occasions. Whether you’re planning to throw a Mother’s Day garden tea party, a classic afternoon tea party decked out with doilies and scalloped table covers, or an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party including a Mad Hatter tea party where you serve color-changing butterfly pea tea from a topsy turvy tea set, your options are endless!

Monthly subscription boxes can help you put your tea party ideas in motion with everything from tea party decorations to yummy tea party table spreads and top-quality loose-leaf teas. Here are some of the best subscription boxes to get the par-tea started!
