According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/highteasociety.com\/about\/history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">few sources<\/a>, the 7th Duchess of Bedford is due the credit for the creation of this late afternoon meal accompanied by a pot of tea. What is less sure is if she began it simply as a fashionable social time for ladies while men were finishing up their afternoon business discussions, or as a means to make it through until the late evening dinner, as she called the 3-4 o&#8217;clock hour the time when <a href=\"https:\/\/afternoontea.co.uk\/information\/history-of-afternoon-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;that sinking feeling&#8221;<\/a> came on, requiring a little pick-me-up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecarrington.com.au\/dining-bars\/the-grand-dining-room\/grand-high-tea\/history-of-high-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Carrington Hotel<\/a> in Australia, says that high tea was a working man&#8217;s meal taken standing or sitting on stools at high tables, hence the name &#8220;high&#8221; tea, and eventually became adopted by Ladies and Gentleman of society for social enjoyment before attending evening events around town at places like the theater.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2358 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/English-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Tea-Pot.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1902\" height=\"1268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/English-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Tea-Pot.jpeg 1902w, https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/English-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Tea-Pot-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/English-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Tea-Pot-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/English-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Tea-Pot-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/English-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Tea-Pot-190x127.jpeg 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1902px) 100vw, 1902px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Link2\">How to Host a Tea Party | Essentials You&#8217;ll Need!<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to host a tea party, there are a few non-negotiable things you&#8217;re going to need to keep guests comfortable and safely warm and cold foods! Here&#8217;s a list of things you will need to host a tea party:<\/p>\n<h3>Tables<\/h3>\n<p>For a more traditional tea party vibe, circular tables are a great choice. They create a cozy, inviting atmosphere and make it easier for guests to chat and pass around treats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words text-start [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"76544d17-5be4-4d4c-95d9-5dda99026ee3\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o-mini\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"582\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">You want your guests to feel relaxed and enjoy the party, so consider how many people you&#8217;ll be hosting and plan accordingly! If you&#8217;re serving a buffet-style spread, rectangular tables work perfectly for displaying your delicious food, allowing guests to help themselves while keeping the focus on the tea and conversation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex post-product-card border-radius-sm\">\n<div class=\"post-product-card-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-radius-sm alignnone wp-image-8876 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Queen-Anne-8-QT-Chafer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"300\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-product-card-text\">\n<h4>Queen Anne 8 QT Chafer<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/atlanta-ga\/catering-equipment-rentals\/beverage-services-rentals?show_items=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-primary\">Shop Now<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Chairs<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words text-start [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"86e74223-00ee-4e09-b8a3-67591562e482\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o-mini\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"461\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Comfortable seating is a must! Choose chairs that are sturdy and comfy for your guests to sit and relax in while enjoying their tea. Make sure there are enough chairs for everyone so no one is left standing. If you&#8217;re on a budget, white folding chairs are a simple and affordable option that still look clean and elegant. For a more formal vibe consider chiavari chairs, which will add a touch of sophistication to your tea party!<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex post-product-card border-radius-sm\">\n<div class=\"post-product-card-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-radius-sm alignnone wp-image-10050 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Round_table-_60_inch.jpg\" alt=\"round table for rent\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Round_table-_60_inch.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Round_table-_60_inch-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-product-card-text\">\n<h4>Table Rentals<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/party-event-rentals\/tables-rentals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-primary\">Shop Now<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Linens (Tablecloths)<\/h3>\n<p>Tablecloths are practically nonnegotiable for a tea party.

They use a simple heat source, usually a small burner underneath, to maintain warmth for hot items like pasta, dips, and other treats. Food that cools down too quickly can become a breeding ground for bacteria, so keeping your dishes at the right temperature ensures they\u2019re safe to eat.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, if you&#8217;re serving cold items, you can add ice to the bottom of the chafing dish to keep everything chilled. This is great for salads, pastries, fruit, pasta salads, and more!<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex post-product-card border-radius-sm\">\n<div class=\"post-product-card-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-radius-sm alignnone wp-image-8876 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Queen-Anne-8-QT-Chafer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"300\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-product-card-text\">\n<h4>Chafing Dish Rentals<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/catering-equipment-rentals\/chafing-dishes-rentals?show_items=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-primary\">Shop Now<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Tea &amp; Tea Cups<\/h3>\n<p>No tea party is complete without tea! Make sure to have a selection of different teas to offer your guests. Whether it&#8217;s black, green, or herbal, the right tea is a central part of the experience. And what is a tea party without tea cups? A great, affordable, way to have enough for everybody is to order a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SUMMORO-Saucers-Disposable-Decoration-Birthday\/dp\/B0CRRWMHV7\/ref=asc_df_B0CRRWMHV7?mcid=bfcb20974de238458a31933a40d8749b&amp;tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=693802909430&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=2404443357995415527&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=1026032&amp;hvtargid=pla-2349707285687&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paper set of tea cups and saucers<\/a>.
