Enjoy Your Own Tea Party While Listening To Tea Time With Teen Day!

Tea Time with Teen Day is the perfect background music for a tea party. Every week you can enjoy tea with your teens while listening to beautiful music played on Tea Time with Teen Day Saturdays 8am/8pm (PT)!

Not every tea party needs to be elaborate or require weeks of preparation, but if you are in the mood for something extra special:

Our Mad Hatter tea party guide is awesome for summer afternoon teas in the park.

Your teenagers will really enjoy this tradition especially if they don't do this sort of thing often. Every person has within him the desire to connect with the past.

Listening to these orchestrations from Broadway, Hollywood Classics and "The Great American Songbook" will bring an endearing experience to your tea party.

Tea Party Food

Since this is a morning party, plan to serve breakfast items during the party. Relax, you and your teens will have the most fun if no one is overly concerned about having everything perfect every time. And most importantly: be confident.

Everyone likes a confident hostess. You come across like you know what you're doing (no matter how confused you feel on the inside).

Serve something as boring as pop tarts or something as exciting as crumpets and jam! (Note: if you serve pastries, serve with a hardboiled egg, sausage links or something filling. You don't want your guests to leave the table still feeling hungry!)

And, of course, serve tea. If you want, make one pot of one flavor of tea, or just heat the kettle and let each teenager make his own tea in his own cup.

Tea Party Feeling

A simple tea party needs some simple decorations. Have fun! Get out a floral or plain white table cloth to place on the table. Put a store-bought or homemade bouquet on as your center piece.

Take out your best tea ware for your party. If you want some extra fun, dress in your Sunday best or a pretty ladies hat (if you're a lady) and really make it old fashioned and fun. You and your teenagers will enjoy this special morning and using the best that you have on a weekly basis.

Tea Party Fun

The activity of this party is listening to beautiful music which is provided by Tea Time with Teen Day and conversation. Try to talk about pleasant things (you won't be able to do otherwise while listening to the soothing music!) You might want to make it a rule not to talk about politics or movies. Some other good manners, especially at a tea, are to listen to others, dressing appropriately for the occasion, and properly avoiding heated conversations. And of course, no elbows on the table and don't talk with your mouth full! Review our guide to good manners in the family here...

This can be a wonderful time of bonding when you and your teenagers can tie heartstrings while enjoying each other in a pleasant and wholesome atmosphere.
