Tea with the bride to be is the quiet version of a bridal shower: an afternoon of teacups and conversation rather than games and a crowd. This invitation sets that tone with a blue and white toile teapot and a vase of pink ranunculus and roses.
The welcome sign and thank you card are built on the same design, so the afternoon holds together from the envelope guests open to the note they receive afterwards.

A sign at the entrance welcomes guests and gives the room a finished look before anyone sits down.
Something Blue Toile Bridal Shower Welcome Sign
Worth having when the tea is booked at a restaurant, tea room or hotel with other events running the same afternoon, and it doubles as a backdrop for photos with the bride. It carries her name and the date, and she keeps it once the party is over.

Once the gifts are opened, a matching card makes writing thank yous feel like part of the celebration.
Something Blue Toile Frame Chic Bridal Tea Shower Thank You Card
The folded card leaves the inside free for a handwritten note about each gift. It is signed from the couple, so the same box covers thank yous after the shower and again after the wedding.
Shop the Thank You Card →Tea rooms and hotels usually want a final head count for a set menu, so send these invitations four to six weeks ahead and ask for replies two weeks before the date. It also gives the bride time to decide whether she wants a gift table or a quieter opening later.
