Jenna got a bee in her bonnet and decided that it was about time to have a formal tea. The theme was "Pride and Prejudice" and it was decided upon that after the formal tea we would watch the movie and have tea-tinis (martini's infused with tea). A perfect excuse to go with a girly color scheme of pink and white, and a chance to get dressed up and decked out in hats and gloves, we were ready! The day arrived: the chairs were wrapped in toulle, tables were set with fine china and serveware, flowers arranged, placards arranged and food ready to go, the guests arrived. We were blessed to have 3 of our family members join us all the way from California! The afternoon was delightful amongst good company, yummy food and a wonderful movie! The tea-tinis were a hit! We had chocolate, vanilla and raspberry teas to go with them. Some people even got to try one of each and then the fun really began! Here are some pictures from the day, but as usual the hostess didn't get a chance to take many because she was trying to be the hostest with the mostest!
