Consider a Winnie the Pooh baby shower tea party when hosting a baby shower. You most likely want a theme that is fun, even whimsical. A Winnie the Pooh Baby Shower tea party fits that project. Tea parties are very much in vogue today.

Do you remember when you were little and you played house and gave tea? Well, tea parties are still a great way to entertain. The expectant mom will love being able to relax and still feel pampered.

Afternoon tea, with tea sandwiches, small cakes and different teas always makes you feel like you are attending a special event. As with any party, once you have decided on the theme, you must decide the time and place of the party. The timing of our tea party will determine your food selection. Afternoon tea is a lighter dish with tea sandwiches, scones, cookies, and a specialty dessert or two. High tea is served between 5 pm and 7 pm and has a more filling meal with various savory dishes such as meat patties, breads, cheeses, salads, and cold cuts. Of course, cookies and desserts will follow.

Now is the time to think about invitations. I enjoy making my own invitations and you too can have fun and be creative. Winnie the Pooh and his friends have many characters and locations to create for your theme. Remember, the invitation sets the tone for the party and you want everyone to anticipate having fun and having a good time. In the invitation, there are a few things that you can ask your guests to do before the baby shower that can make this a very memorable event for the expectant mother. After all, this is your day, to relax and enjoy your friends before the baby is born.

The decoration can be simple or whimsical, it really is up to you. Some would prefer to use white linen tablecloths with a honey pot with fresh flowers on the tables, with napkin rings of Winnie the Pooh holding the linen napkin. This table can also have a collection of incomparable teacups and teapots. Others may choose to have brightly colored tablecloths, with Winnie the Pooh plates and serve not only a variety of hot teas but also iced teas. The non-alcoholic tea cocktail can also be a fun addition. Whether it’s streamers and balloons, bedding, and videos taken when guests arrive with special messages for the mom-to-be, this baby shower tea party is a one-of-a-kind place.

The best part of a tea party is the food. It can be simple, easy, and it can be done ahead of time. It gives the hostess much more time to enjoy herself and her guests, as well as to enjoy the future mom.

Tea sandwiches are delicate and tasty snacks. I use multiple three-tier tea servers. Makes such a beautiful presentation. I love serving savory and sweet scones and tea sandwiches. Have you tried a garlic cheddar cheese bun with black tea? Delicious! Of course, everyone loves my Bacon Tea Mushroom Cream Cheese Sandwiches. Strawberry cream cheese and sponge cake tea sandwiches are always a hit and easy any time of year. I serve several different types of miniature buns, with about two bites on one bun, instead of the larger buns. That way everyone can try the varieties on offer. My buns are always a hit and yours too. If you don’t love baking, look for a bakery that makes spectacular scones instead of making them yourself. I always serve Devonshire cream, lemon curd, and a variety of fruit spreads. For the tasty scones, I can have some herb butters or herb-infused cream cheeses on the tables. When hosting a baby shower, a Winnie the Pooh baby shower tea party can be a very memorable event that the expectant mother and guests will enjoy remembering.
