That spring feeling is creeping up on us. From blooming flowers to slightly warmer days, there’s plenty to look forward to. Plus, the event season is about to pick back up again. Here’s our guide on how to throw a whimsical English Tea Party in a tent for all your guests to enjoy.
Pick the perfect tent
It all depends on the type of shade you want at your event. Do you want this to be a fully covered affair, or would you prefer to let some of the outdoors in? Fortunately, you can choose from our wide range of Saddlespan tents.
The S2000 Saddlespan is one of our smaller tents and can come in two configurations, canopy or concert. The canopy allows you to open both ends of the tent, which is great for a smaller stage where people can gather around either side.
The S5000 Saddlespan is a modular unit, meaning it can be connected with other S5000 units to create different-sized and differently shaped marquees, such as the DuoSpan and TriSpan. This Saddlespan is fantastic for larger crowds and stage coverings.
Exquisitely designed invites
Whether you’re creating physical or digital invites, make sure they’re beautifully designed to give your guests a first taste of what they can expect at your event. Think pale blues, swirly patterns, and delicate pearls.
Tea, of course!
It wouldn’t be a traditional English Tea Party without tea. Think floral teapots, delicate China teacups, and saucers for serving. If you’re planning more celebratory drinks, why not include specially designed cocktails? Edible flowers can make a wonderful addition to these.
Delectable finger food
Alice in Wonderland may inspire your food menu. Think finger sandwiches, indulgent cakes, scones, and plenty of jam. To truly impress your guests, try using ingredients that are in the Spring season.
Entertain your guests
If you want to create an elegant affair, why not hire a string quartet or a pianist? Or, if you’re looking for something more upbeat, fairground stalls and magicians can help create a fun atmosphere for all.
Our Saddlespan tents provide plenty of space for entertainers to set up, whether they need room to play music or dance. Head to our website for our full Saddlespan range.
We hope these five tips help you bring your English Tea Party to life and make it a roaring success for your guests.
