Tea Party Etiquette

These Tea party etiquette tips and guidelines will help your child and all her guests enjoy their party and learn proper manners.

*A Tip From Grandma Mary

How much you follow accepted etiquette really depends on the age of your child and her guests.

For a very young group you may find that simply instructing them to say "please" and "thank you" and to ask for things to be passed rather than reaching for them is acceptable etiquette at your party.

As a parent it might be helpful if you stand beside the table and gently offer guidance as you go. You could even start your party by giving all your guests a short lesson in this party etiquette.

For older children you can use more proper etiquette, but in either case it will be necessary for you to instruct your child and their guests in the fine art of tea party etiquette that you are expecting them to follow.

Have fun

While following good etiquette will make your party more enjoyable and at the same time provide everyone with at least a little education in proper manners, you don't want to your child or their guests to worry that they might "make a mistake."

Make sure that everyone understands that if they forget and make a mistake that it's all right. Tell them to have fun and do their best to remember the etiquette guidelines.
