First off, we feel compelled to mention that there aren’t any hard and fast rules when it comes to setting the table for a tea party. Gone are the days of solely rigid, stuffy, and formal tea parties. The modern tea party era is relaxed, pretty, and inviting.

But if winging it isn’t your thing, then we recommend using the below infographic as your tea party table setting benchmark. It caters to all one needs for a successful tea party with its stylish elements, tea party essentials, and non-pretentious set up.
