The Book Club Tea Party

Description

Everything You Need for a Memorable Book Club Tea.

Most book clubs run on a bottle of wine, a bag of chips, and a couch. The book gets twelve minutes of real discussion before the conversation drifts to work, kids, or someone’s kitchen renovation.

The Book Club Tea Party: Tea, Cake & Chapter One is a 40-page digital hosting guide built to fix that, one table at a time. Five genre-led ways to set the table, from a candlelit Cozy Mystery spread to an understated Literary Fiction table, each with its own menu, tea pairing, and signature detail. A full set of discussion cards so nobody has to play moderator. A voting system for choosing next month’s book. A host rota so hosting doesn’t always land on the same one or two people. And two seasonal versions, cozy winter and summer garden, so the guide works in January and in July.

What’s inside: 

• 5 themed book club tables (Cozy Mystery, Historical Romance, Literary Fiction, Fantasy & Escapist, Memoir & Nonfiction), each with its own palette and styling notes
• A matching menu for every table: savory, sweet, and tea pairing
• A tea-and-book pairing chart you’ll use long after this month’s meeting
• Printable discussion cards, three decks, to open, go deeper, and close
• Printable “What Are We Reading Next?” voting cards and a host tally sheet
• A monthly host rota so hosting rotates fairly
• Three invitation templates, from a group text to a formal card
• The Cozy Winter and Summer Garden hosting variations
• Printable bookplates, reading journal pages, a shopping list, and a full host planning timeline
