High tea baby shower: Recipes and source list

A colleague of mine is having a baby this summer so I wanted to throw a little baby shower for her. I always struggle coming up with themes but this one was a hit so I wanted to share the recipes and sources I was able to find that made it come together.

My inspiration for this was actually something we did for my Working Moms MOPS group. We put together a formal high tea for our last meeting this year. I was also looking for a reason to get my grandmother’s tea set out and actually use it!

I made tea sandwiches, punch, lavender cookies, fruit and cheese bites, and had various types of tea available. I bought some chocolates and a colleague brought some delicious homemade scones.

Here are the recipes I used (great ideas from other people):

Punch Recipe (both a blue and pink version)

Prosciutto and cucumber tea sandwiches

Lettuce and radish tea sandwiches

Brie and grape bites

Lavender cookies (recipe from the MOPS magazine “Hello, Dearest”)

Sources of various products I used:

This was very easy to pull together and like I said, it went over very well. It was easy to quickly get some water boiling between conversations and refill the pot occasionally. The amount of food was perfect for 5-6 people and I felt like I was actually able to enjoy the get together without having to coordinate too much.

It really was a fun little get together and something I will definitely do again!
