This is a story about Mrs. Wright's tea party. She lived right at the end of Lefty Lane, the third house on the left.
Every other Wednesday, Mrs. Wright would host a tea party. The women would enter left, right through the front door and greet Mrs. Wright, they would head right down the stairs, turning left then right into Mrs. Wright's family room.
Two of the girls were left-handed so they would sit at the left of the table. Mrs. Wright held up her right hand and all of her friends grew quiet, except the left-handed girl on the right patting Mrs. Wright's dog named Hefty Lefty.
Mrs. Wright asked Sarah Wright and Julie Wright to pass out the teacups starting to the left. Sarah Wright and Julie Wright started out left but turned back because they left the cups just to the right of the table, right next to the spoons. Mrs. Wright said, "That's all right."
Mrs. Wright began to serve her friends some pie when Grandma Wright smelled the delicious desserts and left her bedroom to join the Wright girls. She went down the stairs and turned left than right, right into Mrs. Wright's family room.
Grandma Wright knocked and entered left and sat in the rocking chair on the left. Sarah Wright and Julie Wright invited Grandma Wright to join them at the table.
Grandma Wright had been to many tea parties as a young girl and right before they realized it, Grandma Wright was telling them a stories from when she was little and went to the right cabinet and in the left drawer were pictures of her tea parties.
As the party ended, they all put their dishes right in the left side of the sink and thanked Mrs. Wright and Grandma Wright for such a wonderful time. Soon, all of the women from the Wright tea party turned right than left, then left again to return to the front door and out to the right car that they arrived in. Down lefty lane they went.

TEA INVITATIONS
You'll want to brew up a proper invite for this party--like this colored-paper teapot. You can draw each one freehand or simply enlarge the shape shown here on a copy machine and use it as a template. Write the party greeting on the front and the date, time and other particulars on the back. Then cut out a tea bag "tag" on which to print "Bring a teddy bear, stuffed animal or doll." Staple one end of a short string to the tag and the other to the teapot top, and the invitation is ready to pop in an envelope to mail or deliver.

Remember those enjoyable afternoons spent in the company of a few friendly dolls, a nice pot of pretend tea and a few cookies snagged from the kitchen? Those are some of the most enjoyable moments for little girls, but some women give up the gaiety of female companionship, the sweet taste of sugary treats and the comfort of a pot of tea once they mature and take on the role of a full-grown adult. Perhaps women give up these fantasies too quickly without thinking about how they can transform them into an adult tea party. If you think that you would like to revisit the idea of inviting a few close friends over for an afternoon tea party, read on to discover some useful tips and ideas on what to do.

How to Throw an Adult Tea Party

Decorating the Mothers Day Table
Tablecloth & Napkins
The tablecloth helps to set the mood for your finished table setting and to determine just how formal it will be. Let the cloth generously overhang the table. Use two, a drop or under cloth that hangs just to the floor, with the tablecloth chosen for the meal, over it. For china with patterns, use solid colors for your tablecloth such as white damask, batiste or linen. For china without patterns,choose a patterned tablecloth to provide a much needed mix and match.

Use your napkins as decorations, they provide a fun way to dress up your table! A few napkin decorating ideas: A fresh daffodil tied with lace; A silk rose tucked under a woven ribbon; cinnamon sticks and eucalyptus leaves wrapped with raffia; artificial cherries accented against gingham checks; A violet bunch with a narrow picot ribbon.&39;
