Plan an Easter tea party with spring decorations, a selection of teas, savory snacks, and sweet treats. These ideas can help you organize a small gathering or a larger celebration.
Decorate your table
Choose pastel napkins, floral table linens, or Easter-themed place cards. Use suitable drinkware and a centerpiece that leaves room for serving.
Keep flowers, painted eggs, decorative filler, and other craft materials separate from food and drinkware surfaces. Battery-operated candles offer an alternative to open flames.
Choose a spring menu
The following are menu ideas, not complete recipes. Use a tested recipe or purchase prepared items, and check ingredient information for your guests.
- Asparagus and feta mini quiches: A savory option to serve alongside tea.
- Cucumber sandwiches: Pair thinly sliced cucumber with herbed cream cheese on your preferred bread.
- Lemon lavender scones: Choose a recipe using culinary lavender and serve with jam or clotted cream if desired.
- Easter-themed macarons: Add a colorful sweet option with a filling suited to your guests' preferences.
Follow each food's storage and serving requirements, especially for dairy and egg dishes. Share labels or ingredient lists when accommodating dietary needs.
Offer a tea selection
Choose several flavor styles rather than assuming every guest wants the same tea. Include ingredient and caffeine information, and follow each blend's brewing directions.
Use teapots intended for hot drinks, handle hot water carefully, and allow tea to reach a comfortable drinking temperature.
Plan an activity
Set up a separate craft table for decorating paper eggs or Easter bonnets with ribbons and paper flowers. Keep paints, adhesives, and craft materials away from food preparation and serving areas.
A tea tasting is another option. Invite guests to describe aromas and flavors without needing formal tasting vocabulary.
Send guests home with a small gift
Offer a packaged cookie, a labeled tea sample, or a decorative keepsake. Keep food sealed and include its ingredient information. Choose favors suited to the guests and how the items will be transported.
Find tea for your gathering
Explore Beach House Teas for blends to serve or give. Review each product's ingredients, caffeine information, and brewing guidance before choosing.
You do not need an elaborate setup. A few thoughtful menu choices, tea your guests enjoy, and time together can make the occasion special.
