Hostess a Book Club Tea Party
If you love books and you love tea, the natural thing to do is to form a book club tea party! On the following pages, you will find hints for
starting your club,
questions to ask
to encourage a really thorough discussion, and ideas of
how to read
your book so you can easily find the quotes and ideas you want to discuss. Hostessing a book club tea party is a fun way to expand your knowledge, strengthen your friendships, partake in lively conversations, and enjoy some really great food. Your club does not have to be made up of people who have the same taste in books. In fact,having different tastes in books can spur very interesting conversations. The most enjoyed discussions usually stem from books where there is a division in who liked the book and who didn't! Whether you are a fan of biographies, mysteries, historical, factual, religious or documentary type of books, your club can include one type of book or rotate the types decided on at your first meeting. Answer the questions who, what, when and where, and most everything will be covered to get your meeting off to a good start. Here you will find points to cover to assure you have everything taken care of at your first meeting. This is a great way to encourage children to read more. When they know there will be a party at each meeting, and the knowledge that they may need to answer questions(oh No!), is usually enough incentive to start and finish a book! The afternoon tea party is very versatile and is easily adaptable to any need. Looking for a party that will have minimal preparations and can be casual or formal? The Light Tea, or Cream Tea will be perfect for your meeting. Looking for a little more special afternoon tea? The Low Tea may be for you. The options are endless for your menu and your preparations ~ you can go as fancy or as casual as you like,(although tea party etiquette still applies).
