You are invited to afternoon tea. The tea will take place in mid-October and will have an Italian theme.
Before the day of the tea party, you might want to spend a little time reflecting on the philosophy of afternoon tea and the covenant between the host and the guest. As a guest, your role is not that of a passive observer. A guest at a tea party is a full, active and conscious participant. It is the guest’s responsibility, as much as the host’s, to do whatever he can to enhance the harmony, humility, respect and creativity of the event.
The following pages will guide you through the "do's and don'ts" of being a welcome guest.
