EIGHT TIPS FOR TEA PARTY ETIQUETTE
Tea parties are meant to be casual gatherings where you can relax and socialize with your friends. Well, here are some tea party etiquette tips you can use:
1. Since it is a tea party, it’s okay to eat with fingers. However, if an item is particularly messy (has a runny filling like a pastry), then use a fork.
2. If all the courses are laid out on the table, eat them in this order: first the scones or muffins; then the tiny sandwiches, and last the sweets. Think of it like a meal where you can start with bread, then have the main course, but save the dessert for last.
3. For scones or muffins, break off a bite-size piece, then put it into your mouth.
4. Take bites of the tiny sandwiches. Never stuff the whole thing in their mouth, even though it’s small.
5. If using sugar, be careful to not dip the sugar tong or sugar spoon into the tea.
6. If the tea is hot, do not blow on the tea. Leave your teacup on the table to cool.
7. Do not stick your little finger out when drinking tea. Just hold the teacup normally.
8. If there are tea bags, then make sure to place or use a small dish on which the used tea bag can be placed.
