High Tea Party - Birthday Celebration with Vintage China Cake stands and Flag Bunting

 Planning a High Tea Party at home is easy!

Some of my close friends celebrate birthdays at a similar time - basically 3-4 weeks between birthdays.
High Tea is a great way to celebrate with friends. 
Op Shops, Ebay, Etsy, Second Hand Stores also Grandmas old china are great place to find gorgeous vintage floral china such as, cups, saucers, side plates, sugar bowls, platters etc. Also vintage silverware such as cake forks, tea spoons etc.
All of the above items can be found new, at department stores but I love the thrill of great thrifted items second hand.

I personally prefer mixed vintage china. I like to buy trios that match (cup, saucer & side plate).
I always include my own handmade flag bunting.


A great idea is to asks guests to bring their favourite High Tea items (if you don't have enough) to the birthday celebration. 
Because we celebrate all four Birthdays at once, every year, we ask all guests to bring something yummy to share.

High Tea often includes savory, bite-sized sandwiches, scones or biscuits, and sweets accompanied by a good pot of tea or two (we usually have at least two teas available at any one time). 
The food is prepared before your guests arrive, and is presented buffet style. When placing the food on high tea stands - the top tier is usually for sweets, middle tier is for scones, cup cakes, muffins, etc. The the third tier (the largest plate of the stand) is for savoury: sandwiches, savoury slices such as quiche/frittata, etc.

We rotate the High Tea at each others house, every year.
It's the celebration that is fun to share with close friends (and family if you choose to).


My bunting is made often made from preloved materials & fabrics. Bunting can be reused for all sorts of special occasions: Birthdays, Wedding, Engagement, Kitchen Tea, Welcome Home, Farewell, Mother's Day, Christmas, Baby Shower, etc. 



Theres also no need to go and buy an expensive tablecloth. I have bought a cheap pre-loved lace 'curtain' from an op shop and place it over a 'boring but basic' plain cotton tablecloth that I had.



When it comes to bunting I prefer to work with preloved fabrics, vintage sheets, embroidered tablecloths, vintage doilys & vintage lace, etc...... for a unique one of a kind look.
