British Empire Medal party

It’s not every day you are awarded a medal from the Queen – this surprise party would have to be very special indeed! It was decided that afternoon tea should be the theme, after all what could be more British? Refreshments included mini sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, cake pops and obviously plenty of tea. Everything was served using vintage china teapots, cups and saucers and tiered cake stands, all displayed on tables under a marquee trimmed with union jack bunting and gold crown decorations. This Party Mums surprise party had the real feel of a street party. Luckily the weather behaved itself, but being a British themed party, everyone would have stayed calm and carried on regardless!
