The ParTea Planner: First Day of Spring Tea Party

Okay fellow tea party aficionados. March 20th will quickly come upon us, so let's take the opportunity to celebrate and usher in the First Day of Spring. In other words, it's just an excuse to have a Tea Party!

So bring out your springy-est china and decor, invite a friend or neighbor or have your kids join you and tip your teacups to the end of Mr. Winter. Since it is so close to Easter, feel free to decorate your tea table to your heart's desire whether it is a Spring theme or Easter theme.

Be sure to take photos of your tea party, post them and the details on your blog and come back over here to TheParTeaPlannerBlog.com and leave a comment with a link to your post. Then the following day I will compose a link list of all the fab tea parties so we can all visit you!

A prize will be awarded to someone's Tea Party, to whomever struck my fancy!

So I hope you will join us - spread the word and put the sidebar banner graphic I made on your blog. Click here to get the code and directions how to do it, if you are layout-challenged.

This is gonna be fun!

The Weathered Pane said...: Hi! A few weeks ago, I bought a new magazine I found at the store. Tea Time. I bought it because of the most beautiful pictures of a tea party. I'm throwing a baby shower for my daughter in a couple weeks and thought I might be able to use some of the ideas. Then today I get a post from Shabby In The City saying she's having a First Day of Spring with you! What a small world! Sadly, I'm not ready for a tea party today, but I'm going to mark it on my calendar for next year. I am a party planner at heart and every family gathering, or reason to celebrate, becomes an event. Your blog has become one of my favorites! Nancy; 3/20/2008

Elle Jay Bee said...: Hi Risa!
I am beyond astounded at the level of creativity you possess. I threw a "tea party" of sorts for my daughter today, and after doing so, stumbled upon this invitation. I'm not sure ours will pass muster, but I thought I'd share it anyway...

Thanks for all the inspiration!
