the perfect wedding venue

Planning a bridal shower tea party is one of the most delightful ways to celebrate a bride-to-be. This elegant event is a chance to bring together friends and family for a sophisticated yet fun gathering that will leave lasting memories. Whether you’re the maid of honor, a close friend, or a family member, creating a tea party that feels special doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I’m Chelsea Davis, the proud owner of Adorn Events in Summerlin, Las Vegas, and I’m here to guide you through every step of planning a bridal shower tea party that’s as unforgettable as it is Instagram-worthy.


Step 1: Choose the Perfect Venue

The venue sets the tone for your bridal shower tea party. While you can host it at home, booking a professional event space like Adorn Events elevates the experience. Our venue offers a stunning backdrop with customizable layouts, beautiful decor options, and all the amenities you need for a seamless event.

Why Adorn Events is the perfect choice:

  • Located in the heart of Summerlin, Las Vegas, our venue combines sophistication and convenience.

  • We offer flexible packages to fit your guest list and vision.

  • Our team handles the details, so you can focus on enjoying the celebration.


Step 2: Pick a Theme and Color Palette

A cohesive theme and color palette bring the tea party to life. Popular themes for bridal shower tea parties include:

  • Vintage Elegance: Think antique teacups, lace tablecloths, and pastel hues.

  • Garden Party: Incorporate floral centerpieces, greenery, and outdoor elements.

  • Modern Chic: Use bold colors, sleek decor, and minimalist table settings.

Your color palette should complement the theme and the bride’s personality. Soft pinks, lavender, mint green, and gold accents are timeless choices for a bridal shower tea party.


Step 3: Send Out Invitations

Your invitations set the stage for what guests can expect. Opt for beautifully designed cards or digital invitations with a tea party motif. Be sure to include:

  • The date, time, and location (Adorn Events, of course!).

  • A dress code if you want guests to wear garden hats or pastel attire.

  • RSVP details to finalize your guest count.

Pro Tip: Send invitations at least 4-6 weeks in advance to give guests plenty of time to plan.


Step 4: Create an Elegant Tablescape

The tablescape is the centerpiece of any tea party. At Adorn Events, we specialize in crafting stunning setups that wow your guests. Here’s how to design the perfect table:

  • Linens: Choose tablecloths and napkins that align with your theme.

  • Centerpieces: Use teapots filled with fresh flowers, candles, or tiered trays of desserts.

  • Place Settings: Include mismatched teacups, vintage plates, and polished silverware.

Don’t forget to add personalized name cards or small favors like tea sachets for an extra special touch.


Step 5: Curate a Delicious Menu

A bridal shower tea party menu should include a variety of light bites, sweet treats, and, of course, tea. Consider these options:

  • Savory: Finger sandwiches (cucumber, smoked salmon, egg salad), mini quiches, and cheese platters.

  • Sweet: Scones with clotted cream and jam, macarons, cupcakes, and fruit tarts.

  • Beverages: Offer a selection of teas (Earl Grey, chamomile, green tea), along with coffee, lemonade, and champagne for mimosas.

At Adorn Events, we work with top caterers in Las Vegas to provide customized menus that fit your tastes and dietary preferences.


Step 6: Plan Fun Activities and Entertainment

Keep the energy lively with activities and entertainment that everyone will enjoy. Here are some ideas:

  • Tea Tasting: Set up a tea bar where guests can sample different blends.

  • Bridal Shower Games: Play classics like "How Well Do You Know the Bride?" or "Wedding Pictionary."

  • Photo Booth: Create a tea party-themed backdrop with props like oversized teacups, parasols, and floral crowns.

Live music or a playlist of the bride’s favorite songs can also enhance the ambiance.


Step 7: Capture the Memories

Hiring a professional photographer ensures you’ll have high-quality photos to remember the day. If that’s not in the budget, designate a friend to take pictures or set up a shared photo album for guests to upload their snaps.

At Adorn Events, we can recommend trusted photographers who specialize in capturing the magic of bridal showers and other wedding events.


Step 8: Add Personal Touches

Personalization makes the event feel unique and meaningful. Here are some ways to incorporate the bride’s personality:

  • Create a display with photos of the bride and groom.

  • Include her favorite flowers in the decor.

  • Give guests custom favors, such as monogrammed tea towels or mini jars of honey.


Step 9: Don’t Forget About Logistics

Behind every flawless bridal shower is careful planning. Here are some logistical tips:

  • Timing: Schedule the tea party for mid-afternoon, typically 1–4 PM.

  • Guest List: Keep it intimate with close friends and family.

  • Budget: Set a budget and prioritize what matters most, whether it’s the decor, menu, or entertainment.

When you book with Adorn Events, our team handles the logistics, so you can relax and enjoy the day.
