Monday Mashups: Pin-Up Meets Tea Party

Happy Monday! I'm going to start a new project with creating mash-ups every Monday (or most Mondays) of party themes that you wouldn't necessarily think go together. Today I'm starting with pin-ups and tea parties. Sounds a little crazy, but we like crazy! Here are some ideas to get you going - but make sure you always add your own personal touches that will give your guests a mouthful!

Encourage your guests to dress in their pin-up best! We love how cute everyone can look in this style.

The white gloves for tea time are a must and add to getting dolled up!

 

How perfect are some of these props for fun photo opps!

 

 

We also encourage giving each guest a pair of cat-eye sunglasses if they aren't already rocking some!

 

 

Tablescape.. very important. We are loving the use of color at this tea party! Yellow and mint green pop just like pin-up attire does. We think the brighter the better!

 

 

If you don't have silverware on the table, we think using these vintage handkerchiefs is such a cute way to style your rollups.

 

 

Now for chow! A display table is one way to do it.

 

 

But we also like the idea of jazzing up an English tea cart. The choice is yours!

 

 

So what finger foods should you have? We would suggest colorful ones that contrast your already bright tablescape. We're going with lots of pink and some blue on this one.

 

Blueberry Scones

 

 

White-Chocolate Dipped Wafers

 

 

Rose-Shaped Meringues

 

 

To add some flair, check out these lovely ladies that can be used as toothpicks to hold some finger sandwiches together or as tea stirrers!

 

 

And lastly, as a token of your appreciation, send your guests home with some sort of sweet treat in these fabulous bags!

 

 

We hope these ideas get your creative juices flowing and prepare you to devour the details of a pin-up tea party! If you have a mash-up you'd like to see come to life, leave me a comment and I'll work on it for next time!
