Themed Tea Parties—interesting or totally cringe?
Hey y’all! I’m not moved in yet, but I’ll be starting in the fall.
I keep seeing these videos on my YouTube recommendations (mostly by Moonstone Kitchen/Haley Post, if y’all are familiar) of these themed tea parties—not the kiddie kind, but the elegant kind with cocktails.
As someone who loves to host themed events of any kind (I was head student event planner for my school’s prom and homecoming all throughout high school), as well as someone looking for ways to make friends beyond clubs, part of me wanted to see if I could try and recreate some of the themed tea parties I saw online—Haley Post’s mermaid-themed one seemed the most beginner-friendly. Maybe putting up some fliers around campus with a Google Form QR code for RSVPs (just so I know how much food to make)?
But then again, now there’s this little voice in the back of my mind that’s like “your idea is stupid and dumb and no one will want to do it and you’ll end up looking like an idiot and you’ll die alone with only rats to mourn you” (you know, rational trains of thought that people without anxiety totally have all the time). Thus, I wanted to ask on here before I bought a bunch of stuff and got my hopes up and all that.
Would anyone be interested in a themed tea party at some point over the fall? Adults-only, free, and with food plus alcoholic AND non-alcoholic beverages provided.
(Here’s the video I was referencing, btw, though I’d probably sub the fruit tray, cucumber slices, and sea glass bites for shrimp cocktail and plenty of sushi: https://youtu.be/lQqggLmu6yI?is=scvBXFd\_Ugh5c5X5 )
