Hey my loves! This weekend, we celebrated my mum on her 2nd anniversary and her birthday. We have our extended family and us. A get together of 12 people for tea.
Here are some tips for for hosting a successful high tea.
In this version, I am doing an Asian high tea, which is quite different from the British High Tea and afternoon tea.
However, these tips are quite universal.
1. Have a theme
2. Plan your menu
3. Have 4-5 dishes. The main dish, the side, the minor (filler) and dessert.
4. Decide how much food you need. Bear in mind that some guests might prefer not to have dinner after hi tea while others will eat only a small amount bc there is still dinner, another meal for them. It’s easiest to take an average of 0.5kg /1.25lbs of food person.
5. Do a trial layout in advance.
6. Delegate - I put Paul in charge of buying fresh ingredients, One mini adult did the collection of food we had ordered, the other handled the tea station while my daughter was my elf for the day!
6. Prepare in advance wherever possible. Like I made sauce for the mee goreng a day earlier.
7. If you have enough, offer the guests some takeaway.
8. Have a good time
Entertaining is the most enjoyable part stylish homemaking. Stylish Homemaking is the art of managing your home with priorities and skills which are somewhere in between traditional and modern homemaking.
Stylish Homemaking is about everything that is important you. It’s about doing whatever you need plus 10%.
I will be writing more about Stylish Homemaking in the next few weeks.
