…
Tea Party Stamps
Personalize your stamps by using one of the great zazzle tea party stamps. Please be sure to bring a complete invitation, including all inserts, to a local post office to determine exactly how much postage is required. If you decide not to customize, please do not mix stamps. It is better to add too much postage than a hodgepodge of mismatched stamps. You have spent so much time and money on every other detail, the difference in price is not worth giving a sloppy first impression.

Tea Party Table Linens
There are so many great options for a tea party look just search BBJ Linen Your choice will ultimately come down to a combination of what your room looks like and what you choose for your centerpieces. For a classic tea party you can’t go wrong with white or ivory lace. You might also choose to use a more decorative tablecloth and keep the accessories more simple or use a simpler cloth and create a personal style with all the “extras”
Ivory Garden Cutwork, or White Garden Cutwork
Ivory Bedford Lace or White Bedford Lace
Ok, these are way over the top, but just picture these princess chair covers in a pink, blue, yellow, or lavender for a lavish sweet sixteen, quinceanera, bridal/ baby shower or special birthday tea party celebration!
…
If you are looking to save some money, most venues will supply complimentary white or cream linens; either will work. Likewise, if you are hosting tea party at your house just about any color linen you have will be fine – the lacier the better.
…
For the young at heart, these tea party theme place mats and table covers are absolutely adorable.

…
Just a note on chair covers: chair covers may not be necessary if the chairs supplied are fairly neutral and in ok condition. In fact, I tend to not use chair covers at any of my personal parties. Having said that, if your budget permits, the overall look of certain rooms is enhanced if chair pads are used. Choose one of your accent colors.
…
If you are having a fairly large party, don’t forget to include your place card table, your gift table, buffet tables, and any ceremonial tables when determining your linen count. Also, if you chose to use more ornate linens, do not use them for the cocktail hour; they will have a greater impact as your guests enter the dining room.

Tea Party Favors
A tea party theme lends itself to so many favor options, Party Idea Pros could not choose just one best option, so here are a few choices we call the best of the best … One more thought — Although the recommended place cards and napkin ties also serve as party favors, if you want to lavish gifts on your guests or prefer to use a simpler place card, consider these fun party favor ideas. They will also add another dimension to your table setting. Order 1 party favor for each couple, 1 for each single. Use a liquid gold pen or colored Sharpie marker to write your the guest of honor’s name and the date of the party or attach a personalized favor tags or place card tag.

Tea Party Theme Sign in Boards & Books
Sign in boards and books have become a staple at many celebrations. If you wish to allow your guests to leave a special keepsake message consider creating a board for your party entrance or simply provide a beautiful book to commemorate the occasion. We here at Party Idea Pros prefer sign in books. They are easier to store and less likely to collect dust in the basement or garage.
…
Sign In Boards

Use a digital picture … be sure to chose a large white border. Hot glue tea bags around the border.

Jewelry
Party Idea Pros generally does not highlight jewelry but we recently came across a chic new designer who whose unique gemstone collection is a perfect way to memorialize this special day or for that matter, any day:
…
“Gemstones are the spirit of the earth frozen in time. For thousands of years, gemstones have been treasured for their power to heal, energize and inspire. The design, stones and metal all empower you. The artful combination of these elements reflects your spirit and is yours forever.”Tamara Alter
…
Our favorite collection of Tamara’s is her Healing Hearts collection, created in honor of Tamara’s dear sister Stefanie who passed away at the young age of 43, after a brave and courageous fight against Ovarian Cancer. All profits from the Healing Hearts collection goes to The High Heals Foundation whose mission is to raise funds to develop methods for early diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer and aid in the discovery of a cure through research, advocacy and education.
…
If you really want to go way, way over the top and be queen for the day, consider renting real diamond jewelry. I am fascinated by this concept. Adorn Brides actually leases fine elegant genuine jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy it. How much more sparkly and glamorous can you get than wearing tens of thousand of dollars worth of jewels!
