Tea Party Planning Consultation with Erica Powers

My tea party planning consultation is personal planning help from me, Erica Powers, for anyone who wants to host a tea party and does not know where to start. I walk you through the theme, the setup, the menu, the teas, and the etiquette, step by step, so you can host it yourself with confidence.

If you are wondering how many teas to pour, how much food to make, whether your china has to match, and what everyone does once the cups are full, that is what we sort out together. (Your china does not have to match. Mine does not.)

I have hosted and planned tea parties for years, from a few friends at a kitchen table to grand celebrations, with more than 20 years of event planning behind me. You bring the occasion, the guest count, and the room you have. I bring ideas for a theme that fits you, a ready-made plan you can follow, and my own list of suppliers.

The point is to save you the weeks of second-guessing: less stress, less time lost, personal touches your guests will remember for years, and the confidence to enjoy your own party. It is all built around tea and conversation, which makes it an easy fit for an alcohol-free or sober-curious gathering. Think of me as your partner for this party, not just a planner.

The details

• A planning service, not a shipped product. Nothing is mailed. You are booking my time and my advice.
• You host, I help you plan. Having me set up and host your party is a separate booking.
• Who you work with. Me, Erica Powers, founder of Tea Parties by Erica Powers in San Antonio, Texas.

Setting a table for 8? My Party Kit for 8 Guests packs the place settings and 5 teas into a single box. For a bigger guest list, my tea party china rentals come with dishwashing included. And if the menu is what keeps you up at night, start with my easy tea party foods.

If you would rather hand the whole thing over, I host tea parties too: book your tea party and the table comes to you. Either way, the only question left is this one. Who will you invite to your table?
