Invitations
Invitations are a must when inviting friends to an afternoon tea. This gives the hostess the opportunity to instruct her guests on what to wear or bring to the tea. One such example would be a tea being held in the garden. The hostess would include on the invitation the need to wear a hat. More well to-do Victorian ladies would bring their own tea cup in an elaborately designed box, so if you would like to host a tea in which your guests bring along their tea cup, this would need to be written explicitly on the invitation.
