Tips for Hosting Your Own Tea Party
Afternoon tea wasn’t quite the established social ritual in the Regency era as it is today. Back then, tea was typically enjoyed at breakfast and after dinner. However, tea parties were like a delightful “in-between” moment for ladies and gentlemen to socialise, indulge in treats, and “spill the tea”.

As the host, there are a few things you need to do to recreate a Bridgerton-style tea party.
1) Make Your Drawing Room a Lavish Bridgerton Set
Go for pastel tablecloths and vintage teacups, oh and don’t forget the flowers! Arrange fresh blooms like roses, lilies, or wildflowers in crystal vases or ornately patterned china that evoke the essence of the English countryside.
Light some scented candles with calming fragrances like lavender, vanilla, or rose, or burn some incense to add an aroma to the atmosphere and set the occasion.
2) Set The Bridgerton Theme
Make sure the theme is clear. Add a touch of Bridgerton to everything, starting from the invites. You can create a playlist of classical music or instrumental pieces to set the mood. You can even consider hiring a local musician like a harpist or violinist if you don’t want all the hassle.
Bridgerton-themed games like guessing the quote or gossip games will liven the party and really set the vibe for everyone. You can even set up a small dressing area where guests can try on Regency-inspired accessories and take photos with a Polaroid or vintage camera to really get the Bridgerton vibe going!
