1. Plan the Menu Your tea party can be as simple or as complex as you wish. These ideas can be easily adapted for adults or kids. Some of our favorite offerings for our tea parties include: Tea sandwiches Make your favorite kind of sandwiches such as cucumber cream cheese, egg salad or chicken salad. For kids you can make Peanut Butter and Jelly then use cookie cutters to cut them into fun shapes. Scones and muffins These can be homemade or store bought. Fruit Strawberries with fresh cream are a perfect complement to your high tea. If your guests are kids, they will love fruit kabobs or good old-fashioned fruit salad. Pastries Thumbprint cookies, éclairs, mini pies or tarts are some of the types I like to serve. Tea Have a couple of different types of tea for your guests to try. For kids, I serve a fruit flavored decaffeinated tea. You could also serve warm apple juice or even hot cocoa. Photo by Lisa Cameron
