Description

There’s a daydream almost everyone has had: the long table on the lawn, the muslin and ribbons, tea poured from a good pot while someone laughs behind a fan. A whole shelf of novels and period dramas has made the Regency the most romantic way to spend an afternoon — and you don’t need a ballroom, a budget, or a single corset to host one.

The Regency Afternoon Tea: Host a Party Fit for the Ton is a digital hosting guide that turns that daydream into a real afternoon. Five ways to set the table depending on the mood you’re after, from an intimate candlelit Drawing Room to a grand garden Debutante’s Tea. A menu for each one, built from genuinely Regency treats you can find at an ordinary supermarket. A full set of parlour games and etiquette cards so the afternoon has something to do. Invitation wording, a “dress the part without a costume” guide, and two complete versions — an intimate tea for four or a grand garden gathering for fourteen.

What’s inside:

  • 5 themed Regency tables (Drawing Room, Garden Promenade, Debutante’s Tea, Country Estate, Candlelit Masquerade), each with its own palette, styling notes, and signature detail
  • A matching menu for every table: savoury, sweet, and a period-perfect tea pairing
  • The Regency Tea Guide — how to pour like the ton, with an at-a-glance pairing chart
  • Printable etiquette cards to deal on arrival as “house rules for the afternoon”
  • Printable dance cards, calling cards, and place cards — the keepsakes guests take home
  • Three invitation templates, from a formal card to a group message
  • “Dressing the Part” — easy Regency touches, no costume required
  • The Intimate Drawing-Room and Grand Garden hosting variations
  • A full shopping list and a complete host planning timeline
