Programs
Program Description:
Add a warm and creative touch to the tea party with Tea Lights & Delights, a charming candle-making experience. Guests will enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of tea, conversation, and sweet treats while creating their own beautiful candle.
Each guest will pour scented wax into a lovely teacup or small container, choosing from soft fragrances such as lavender, vanilla, rose, or citrus. While the candle sets, guests can continue sipping tea and enjoying the company of others.
This hands-on activity is simple, calming, and creative—allowing everyone to leave with a hand-poured candle keepsake that will remind them of a delightful afternoon filled with tea, laughter, and warmth.
