Afternoon Tea

We were so busy before the wedding that our families didn't really have a chance to get together and meet until right before the wedding. I really wanted the women in my family to have a chance to meet the women in Rod's family before we all got swept up in wedding stuff so I invited them all to Afternoon Tea at the Grand America. If you have never been to the Grand America, the building is beautiful. The tea room overlooks a beautiful patio and the tea itself is really luxorious. It is not just tea and biscuits. You get finger sandwiches, scones, tea (of course), and a choice of desserts. It is something that everyone should treat themselves to. For favors, I brought some packets of ginger thins and tea flowers. I wrapped them in cellophane and sealed with our logo stickers. Rod's grandma brought prailines from Louisiana. I think everyone really enjoyed getting to know each other and I was so excited that everyone had a chance to get to know each other.
