Design a formal invitation using a formal font such as Edwardian Script or Lucinda Calligraphy. Place a delicate line art of a woman sipping from a teacup or a sweet baby with, 'You're Invited' on the front. Inside the invitation, provide the details of the tea party baby shower, including the date, time, location and attire. If the party is a surprise, add that information so no one spills the beans to the guest of honor.
Decorating the Party Room
Lace tablecloths, doilies on the end tables and embroidered pillows on the sofa fill the room with a Victorian sensibility suitable for a tea party. Use fresh flowers in cut-glass vases or vintage pitchers as centerpieces. Set the tables with dessert plates, saucers and teacups. The place settings don't have to match; you can collect a variety of pink or blue floral china, or for a modern mom, use clear glass plates and cups. Provide a comfortable chair for the guest of honor, with plenty of cushions and a footstool.
Traditional Tea Party Menu
A vintage bowl filled with a variety of English and herbal teas allows your guests to select their favorite flavors before you fill their cups with steaming water. Sparkling fruit juices and pitchers of fresh-squeezed lemonade on the tables provide cool refreshment. Several tiered cake stands or trays hold finger sandwiches, scones, sliced tea breads, cookies and other treats that appeal to the mother-to-be. Instead of a sheet cake, individual servings of strawberry shortcake or cupcakes decorated with pink or blue frosting complete the tea party.
Baby Shower Games
Play the guest of honor's favorite baby shower games during and after the tea party. A variety of games, such as 'guess the baby food,' 'baby basket price is right' or baby name scrambles keeps everyone laughing as the guests vie for their game prizes. Slip game cards under each place setting for a brisk game of baby game bingo while the shower gifts are opened. Take plenty of selfies with the mom-to-be and slip in a few photo-bombs for the scrapbook that you'll deliver as an after-shower gift. Send the guests home with small gift bags filled with cookies, candies and other sweet treats.
