Valentine tea cup topiary
Comments (3)I'd love to copy this....I have a lot of pretty tea cups. And you can get some nice rose buds at Walmart cheap:) Would make a lovely gift for most occasions!...See MoreCoffee menu
Comments (30)I have found throughout my adult life that "coffee" is a shorthand for casual non-meal events. Lunch would mean serving more food and I would feel far more compelled to make sure I had a wide variety to accommodate vegetarian, gluten avoiding, religious restrictions, diets, etc. If it is "coffee" no one feels awkward of they just drink something and nibble on a handful of almonds. It's also much more acceptable to just drop by for twenty minutes and leave if the baby is fussy or you need to for scheduling reasons. Also kindergarten is part day here. Lunch time is also basically pick up time. Lunch is bad scheduling wise for everyone. I get the irony, but "coffee" is exactly what I'm going for here. I do appreciate the suggestions, but I am not going to go somewhere to get coffee when I need to be at home letting the dog out and straightening up from breakfast and cleaning the kids' morning mess up in the bathroom that everyone will want to see. I have ordered the stuff to do pour over coffee and I will double check the method via google. And it will be fine. I will do my best and if the coffee is undrinkable, we will all laugh and people can drink juice or water or tea instead....See MoreIdeas for tea luncheon menu for wedding . . .
Comments (48)The one thing that is set in stone is engraved shot glasses for my friends wedding. Actually more straight sided so they fit tea lights. Over-ordering so they will be used for veggie cups, probably a chocolate mouse for the 'cake' tier, and table lighting...possibly a gazpacho. They want enough for all to take home a few. No cake. A big tiered affair we are making. Petit fours, various chocolates, mini this and that...massive amount. (we are making the tier) another friend is making and organizing all the sweets. We did a no-no list. No heating or re-heating on site. All fresh do-ahead. No pineapple, no mayo, (except fabanaise), No melon baller, lol. No dips, no bagels, no humus. No charcuterie platters. Yes to mini scones. Maybe to mini frittata. No dance floor, loud music or band. Friends will bring instruments for impromptu music and a few good singers among us. (later around sunset bonfire) A few toothpick items...caprese, watermelon/fetta/cucumber/olive, (square). One all fruit and one all veg/fruit. They want all squares or triangles. Classic crustless tea sandwiches. And probably a club and a pastrami, cubed and toothpicked. For kids, chocolate almond butter and jelly, honeyed cream cheese and Nutella on raisin bread, (so good). Maybe a pinwheel or two. I'm making spring rolls. One rectangle table for tea/coffee tea at two pm. Tea sandwiches, etc. One rectangle table other side of tent for misc veg snacks One round table for 'cake' and misc sweets 3 round tables for sit down, lots of extra chairs service at five pm 2 food stylist/caterers early to prep, (they are fast and precise)...they leave around 2-3pm but will make soup and salads before they leave. Salad in small white Chinese take-out containers. Big kitchen island for prep and oven/stove can be used but trying to avoid too much of that. Everything at the same location/waterfront. A friends home but stipulation was a tent and an executive port-a-let...very nice one. After service not decided. Probably a small catered Bbq/clam bake/bonfire Fhew, first time I wrote that out. I've been doing shopping lists and loose budgeting.... Oh, they booked and paid for 20 rooms at a great spot nearby for mostly flight travelers and will host an open bar after party there. Invited 110, probably final tally will be 85-90...See MoreSetting the Table for Valentine’s Day Dinner
Comments (29)I had originally planned a stay at The Georgian Terrace in Atlanta with a few activities and dinner at Livingston’s but canceled because the restaurant is STILL not open for dinner since their pandemic closing. We substituted a trip elsewhere a couple of weeks ago, and, thankfully, still had the club reservations I made as a backup. As a rule we don’t care for crowds either but over the years have enjoyed looking at all the couples celebrating Valentine’s Day and wondering about their stories and lives. The first timers are usually easy to spot 🙂...See Morelindac92
