bride tea

Oh, that bride tea thing? Well, it’s all the rage now, you know. Everybody wants a fancy-schmancy party for the bride. Used to be, you just had a shower with some cake and presents. But now? It’s all tea and frilly things.

They call it “bride tea”, sounds real posh, don’t it? Like somethin’ the queen would do. But it’s just tea, you know, with tiny sandwiches. Them little sandwiches, they ain’t gonna fill you up, I tell ya. You need somethin’ hearty, like a good ol’ casserole.

You gotta have the right tea, they say. Fancy teas with names you can’t even say.
Then there’s the teacups, all pretty and delicate. I’d be scared to break ’em, cost a fortune I bet.
And the decorations! Flowers everywhere, ribbons, all that jazz. Make a mess, if you ask me.

They set it up all nice, with fancy tablecloths and such. Make it look like a picture in a magazine. But it’s just a party, ain’t it? We used to have parties in the backyard, with paper plates and plastic cups. And we had fun, we did. No need for all this fuss.

They got games too, at this bride tea. silly games, I tell ya. Guessing games, charades. We used to just sit around and talk. Catch up on all the gossip. That was fun. These games, they just make you feel foolish.

And the presents! They give the bride all sorts of things. Things for the kitchen, things for the house. Back in my day, you got practical gifts. Things you needed. Now it’s all about fancy stuff.

This bride tea, it’s a lot of work. The plannin’, the cookin’, the cleanin’. Who needs all that stress? A simple party would do just fine.

But the young folks, they like it. They like all the fuss and bother. Makes ’em feel special, I guess. And I suppose that’s what matters. As long as the bride is happy, that’s all that counts.

So, if you’re gonna have a bride tea, do it right. Get the fancy tea, the pretty teacups, the decorations. Plan the games, buy the presents. Make it a party to remember. Even if it’s a bit too much fuss for my taste.

At the end of the day, it’s about celebratin’ the bride. Wishin’ her well on her new journey. And whether it’s tea and tiny sandwiches or cake and punch, it’s the love and laughter that matters most.
