A Retro Tea Party celebrates the glamour and glitz of the 1950s.
Design a Retro Tea Party that would be fit for Audrey Hepburn and friends. Use geometric designs and a color scheme of Aqua, Black, Red, Gold and Silver to channel a little Breakfast At Tiffany’s.
A Retro Tea Party can be a great theme for a luncheon tea, that is served with glamour in this style. Guests would come for lunch and expect to be served a selection of warm and cold finger foods of both sweet and savoury. You can add some Mad Men-style naughtiness by adding Martinis and Manhattans to the lunch menu. Who doesn’t love a little liquid lunching?!
Retro Tea Party Invitations:
Stick to your chosen colour scheme in the invitations. Handwritten cards in Aqua and Black look stunning, as do a geometric design in Red and Gold.
Ask guests to arrive in their finest 1950s glamour style. Think Breakfast at Tiffany’s style with black pencil skirts, pearls, fur stools, large sunglasses, high heels, stockings with seams.
Pretty teacups and saucers to bring some of that retro feel to the table. Place these cups setting with the cup ready to use. Place a teaspoon in the saucer.
If you are serving alcoholic drinks also set the table with retro glassware. Don’t forget cut glass coasters for your drinks also.
