Tea with the bride to be is the gentlest way to celebrate before the wedding: an afternoon of teacups, sandwiches and the people who matter most, with none of the noise of a big party. This blue toile and white orchid invitation sets that tone before anyone arrives.
The welcome sign and thank you cards match it, so the same design carries from the envelope to the front door to the notes that follow the wedding.

Shop the Flat Card →Bridal teas usually have smaller guest lists than a traditional shower, so send the invitations four to six weeks ahead and ask for replies two weeks before. That leaves enough time to confirm numbers with the tea room, which often needs a final count for a set menu.
