A tea party is a formal, ritualized gathering for the small meal called afternoon tea.[1][2]
Formal tea parties are often characterized by the use of prestige utensils, such as porcelain, bone china or silver. The table is made to look its prettiest, with cloth napkins and matching cups and plates. In addition to tea, larger parties may provide punch, or in cold weather, hot chocolate. The tea is accompanied by a variety of foods that are easy to manage while in a sitting room: thin sandwiches, such as cucumber or tomato, cake slices, buns or rolls, cookies, biscuits and scones are all common.
The afternoon tea party was a feature of great houses in the Victorian and Edwardian ages in the United Kingdom and the Gilded Age in the United States, as well as in all continental Europe (France, Germany, and above all in the Russian Empire). The formal tea party still survives as a special event, as in the debutante teas of some affluent American communities.
In the older version, servants stayed outside the room until needed. Writing in 1922, Emily Post asserted that servants were never to enter the room unless rung for, to bring in fresh water and dishes or to remove used dishes. This was partly due to the rigidity of social convention at the time, but it also reflected the intimate nature of the afternoon tea. Proving the truth of 18th-century author Henry Fielding's quip that "love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea", the custom of banning servants from the drawing room during tea shows the hostess's desire to encourage free conversation among her guests. Most of the formalities of that age have disappeared, particularly since World War II, when economic changes made household servants a rarity, but afternoon tea can still provide a good opportunity for intimate conversation and a refreshing light meal.
A less formal large afternoon party for tea was known during the 18th and 19th centuries as a "kettle drum". A widespread but possibly false folk etymology suggests that the name "kettle drum" may have originated in the informal tea gatherings hosted by British camp officers' wives during East India Company rule or the British occupation of India, during which kettle drums are claimed to have served as tea tables in the camps.[3][4] Alternately, "kettle drum" may have been an amalgam of "drum" 18th-century slang for a vivacious party and "kettle" for the tea served.[5] At kettle drums, guests traditionally came for short periods and left at will, mingled and conversed with little formality, and partook of tea, chocolate, lemonade, cakes, and sandwiches. Guests were expected to dress for ordinary daytime visiting, but not more formally.
Tea parties are also created by young children where the guests consist of stuffed animals, dolls, friends (both real and imaginary) and family members.[6]
In the chapter "A Mad Tea-Party" in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice becomes a guest at a tea party along with the March Hare, the Hatter, and a sleeping Dormouse who remains asleep for most of the chapter. The other characters give Alice many riddles and stories, including the famous 'Why is a raven like a writing desk?'. The Hatter reveals that they have tea all day because time has punished him by eternally standing still at 6 pm (tea time). Alice becomes insulted and tired of being bombarded with riddles and she leaves claiming that it was the stupidest tea party that she had ever been to.[7]
Yum cha is the Chinese equivalent of a tea party, though it is usually held in a restaurant.[8]

CHERRY HILL There will be many performances of The Nutcracker this season, but few will be as charming or for such a worthwhile cause as the one Sunday at St. Thomas Greek Orthodox Church.
The Philadelphia-based troupe performed highlights from the Tchaikovsky ballet during a lavish Victorian tea party fundraiser, with the bulk of the days funds slated for research into a little-known disease that afflicts a parishioners son.
The disease, Friedreichs ataxia, is an inherited disorder that gradually destroys the nerve tissue of the spinal cord, leaving the victim unable to move without a wheelchair and vulnerable to heart disease, diabetes and scoliosis.
Medford resident Leonidas Lazaropoulos, the 25-year-old son of parishioner Krissa Lazaropoulos, did not let the disease keep him from graduating from Drexel University with a bachelors degree in biology in 2012, nor will it keep him from working toward his doctorate and his goal of a career in zoology.
But the disease, which leaves the mind intact as it attacks the body, has given him deeply slurred speech and hampered his movements. Which is why the sponsor of the fundraiser Nike chapter 230 of the Daughters of Penelope chose the Friedrichs Ataxia Research Alliance, or FARA, as its designated charity this year.
Ann Davidson, chapter president, said that while the monies raised Sunday through raffles and ticket sales will benefit several charities, the bulk are reserved for FARA.
This is our fifth annual tea event, and every year we have a different charity that we sponsor, Davidson said. The main charity this year is FARA. We chose this charity because we have a parishioner who is dear to our heart, and wed like to honor her and her family by choosing this charity this year.
Before the dancers appeared, the main event in the meeting room was the elaborate Victorian dresses worn by the women in attendance. The hats were particularly showy.
Krissa Lazaropoulos said her son began showing signs of Friedrichs ataxia at age 5, though at the time they were written off as simple clumsiness. He walked, he ran, she said. We thought he was going to be a football player.
Unfortunately, the boys problems with balance and coordination worsened, and by age 10 he was diagnosed with Friedrichs ataxia.
