The Celebration Advisor: Hey Olivia!
Actually I do have some helpful information for you! Celtic tea parties center around very traditional Irish themes. The fun lies in putting your own twist on the party though. To get you started, here are some suggestions for party food and how to make your Celtic tea party a hit! Being of Irish ancestry, I’m very happy to see someone taking the ide aof a Celtic tea party and running with it. How cool!
- Alright, for party food I suggest Irish foods like Irish potato cookies, Benedictine tea sandwiches, Irish soda bread scones and similar foods. You can find these and other cool Irish recipes with a quick Google search.
- If you want a sedate party with an Irish theme, pick up a cd of soft Irish music to play in the background. You can get these at many different music stores. I have three! If you want something a little more lively, choose more upbeat Irish tunes. You could even browse local musicians and see if anyone plays a lute, a lyre, or knows any traditional Irish music.
- It may be a little too close to tea time to read, but there are a few books available about traditional Celtic tea parties of many kinds. Lively, toned down, noonday, traditional–all wrapped around Celtic traditions. “Celtic Tea with Friends” by Elizabeth Knight (Amazon carries it) even has recipes you could follow!
Best of luck and please let me know how it turns out! I look forward to seeing pictures as well! Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. (May the road rise with you, part of a traditional Irish blessing).
