One of your favorite ladies in the world is starting her happily ever after! That calls for a celebration. You want her bridal shower to be fun, unique, and just a little elegant – just like her. Enter, the tea party bridal shower. 

Tea parties are bastions of childhood whimsy and playfulness, but they can also be refined and grown-up affairs. When you combine a tea party with a bridal shower, you’ve got the perfect recipe for a special celebration your best friend won’t soon forget. Below, you’ll find a guide to throwing the perfect tea party bridal shower, from the venue to the menu and beyond!

Venue 

Before you get ready to partea (get it?), you’ll need a spot to host. If you have a local tea room in town, that’s a great place to start. But if you want something a little more custom, check out Peerspace. 

With Peerspace, you can find and rent venues by the hour – including adorable tea rooms that accommodate 60 guests or more. You can bring your own tea and snacks or work with your venue’s helpful local host to arrange a caterer who’ll take care of everything. All you have to do is put on a fancy hat and stick your pinky up. 

The available options will depend on your metro and party dates. But here are a few of our favorite picks: 

• A rococo dollhouse-themed tea room in Miami, FL: Ever wanted a slice of a Bridgerton garden in your life? You can totally make that happen at this lush floral tea room (pictured above), bursting with pastel flowers from floor to ceiling and with accommodation for up to 60 guests. 
• A bridal shower venue in Los Angeles, CA: Adorable, pink and feminine, this vintage-inspired bridal shower venue can accommodate 30 guests. They also offer afternoon tea packages to make your life easier.
