Hello friends,
It has now been two years since my grandmother has turned 60, so I decided to feature her birthday tea party for this week's flashback! My grandmother had never had a birthday party before. Like, ever. Seeing as how she had never had a party, has a love for tea, and was turning the BIG 6-0, we decided to have her an extreme tea party!
The party took place in our home, which allowed us to begin decorating several days in advance. The planning itself took several weeks and the decorating took multiple days. To accommodate everyone, we moved our furniture out and brought in extra tables and chairs. We used pink table cloths, crepe paper, balloons, and hanging puff balls to make the area feel special. My grandmother's favorite color is yellow, so we had my father create the giant 60 out of plywood and decorate it for her. Each table was decorated with tea pots, tea cups, and floral arrangements.
We ordered cupcakes and the cake, every thing else was made by us or friends and family members. We asked the baker to leave the top of the cake blank so that we may put a tea cup as the topper. This ended up being a big hit at the party even though we accidentally put it on crooked - oops!!
The final task in preparing for the party was decide what outfit and hat to wear. While a hat was not mandatory, what's a tea party without a fabulous hat!? Mother (on the left) went for a classic black look, while myself (middle) and my cousin (on the right) went for more of a spring look.
Overall, the party was great and full of fun. Looking at these photos and reminiscing over the day has me ready to plan another tea party! How do you think we did? Comment below :)
