My amazing mother, Livia, who organized the wonderful Tea Party Bridal Shower |
My mom and I went scouting for locations that had a beautiful garden/outdoor area. After visiting several places such as the Sherman Library (Corona Del Mar) and Newport Beach Hyatt, which were terribly expensive, we were able to book the best (and cheapest) venue, the Oak Creek Golf Club in Irvine.
Since my favorite color is GREEN and any shade thereof, naturally, my main color was: lime green. I am also a fan of damask print and thought it was very suitable for my tea party. I made most everything myself from invites to favors...
Hand-Made Invitations
- 5x7 blank invitations from Michael's
- Green Ribbon
- 8.5 x 11 ivory card stock
- Color printer
- Name Labels (download here) Damask-Circle-Labels-Blank
- I'm pretty good at Publisher, but you could create the template on Photoshop as well, and even word. Make sure to leave space for the name and ribbon.
- Download the Damask Name Labels, use Photoshop to add your name into the ovals.
- Print the Damask Name Labels onto the ivory card stock and cut out ovals.
- Wrap the ribbon around the top of the invite, gluing with any form of glue to the back of the invite.
- Glue the ovals in the center of the ribbon.
Centerpieces: Flower Arrangements and Table Cards
My flower arrangements were beautifully created by my mom with help from my dear friend, Kristin. It had some of my favorite flowers in bloom at the time: white hydrangea, lime green mums, white roses, and a few bright pink flowers. The vase was 2" short and cylindrical. Wet floral foam was cut almost the diameter of the vase to allow for a 1/2" space between the glass and foam. Limes were sliced and placed around the vase. Super cute!
My table cards were vintage pictures of shoes, purses, and hats I found online, cut out, and glued together.
Favors: Tea Bags & Jam
Tea Bag Supplies
- Purchase a few boxes of teas for assortment
- 8.5 x 11 Avery full sheet label paper (5165)
- Download Blank Tea Labels
Jam Supplies:
- Purchase small jars of assorted jams, or you can make your own jam and bottle them in wholesale bottles.
- Purchase your choice of 1/2" ribbon
- 8.5 x 11 Avery full sheet label paper (5165)
- Download Jar Cap Labels and Thank You Labels. Or download my Lime Green Thank You Labels.
- Hole Puncher
Bridal Shower Games
The Stylish Bride: This one is clearly more fun for the guests, at the expense of the bride. Give the bride thick mittens, blind fold her and give her several strange articles of clothing to try to feel and guess how they are supposed to be put on. This was the result...
Most Fabulous Hat Contest: all the hats are stunning of course, but it's at the discretion of the bride to select the most fabulous one!
Stick in the Hole (if you know what I mean ;)
You will need a few brooms and toilet paper. Make even teams with one person from the team holding a broom at one end. All members must put their toilette paper roll onto the stick only using their knees. The first team to finish, wins. This one is a crack up!
Swing your Ding-A-Ling!
For this 'interesting' game, you'll need some panty hose, oranges, and chalk. A set of 4-5 is sufficient. Everyone begins at a starting line and must knock their orange with the dangling orange as far as possible. It's not as easy as you think!!
Design the Bridal Dress
I hope to have inspired a future bridal shower with such a beautiful and fun theme!(Photo Credits: my sister, Selina)
