Tea Party Favors

Tea party favors are one part of traditional tea parties where you can really get creative.

We love scouring local thrift stores for favor ideas. They're great places to find containers and other party favor accessories. Inexpensive too, which we think is always a good thing.

The Best Tea Party Favors (Ever)

• small mason jars filled with homemade vanilla-infused sugar, along with beribboned vintage teaspoons from a thrift store
• a mismatched teacup and saucer (from a thrift store)
• a selection of loose teas wrapped in muslin pouches and tied with ribbon or fabric
• large cookies in the shape of teacups or teapots, decorated with colorful icing
• fancy brooches from a thrift store (put them in a basket and let your guests
  choose their own)
• mason jars filled with a selection of loose teas and a tea ball
• decorated sugar cubes (either store-bought or decorated by you with food dye or food coloring pens), tucked into elegant favor boxes
• jars of lavender honey (imported from France if you can!)
• small journals (or scrapbooks) with a blank slot for a photo on the cover in which you place a pressed flower or special quote
• homemade bookmarks made with pressed flowers, laminated and strung with
  beautiful ribbon
• pretty tea towels rolled up and tied with coordinating fabric ribbon
• decorative soaps tucked into silk pouches
• vintage tea tins (with tea or without), wrapped with a ribbon (you could attach a charm or thankyou note as well)
• a silver teacup or teapot charm for a bracelet or necklace
• tea cups (from a thrift store, natch) filled with wax and made into candles (soy wax won't leave black marks on the cup when the candle is used)
• lavender-filled sachets
• mini bottles of a favorite liqueur (for putting in your tea when the kids aren't looking)
• liquor-filled chocolates in colorful favor boxes
• crystallized sugar on swizzle sticks (very pretty and colorful)
