Ladies dressed in gowns, tiaras and jewels partook of the regal tradition of the afternoon tea at the City of Vero Beach Recreation Departments 14th annual Mother-Daughter Tea Party at the Vero Beach Community Center on Feb. 11.

In addition to tea cups and dainty morsels, the event was an afternoon filled with crafts, dancing, food and tea, games and prizes. Both mothers and daughters were encouraged to dress as their favorite princess character or in formal tea party attire. They posed for many pictures in the photo booth to capture the moment.

The best part about putting on such a big event like the Mother-Daughter Tea Party is seeing all of the smiles from the little girls and their parents, and knowing that you were the reason behind that smile, said Angela Holshouser, City of Vero Beach recreation supervisor.

The 104 participants had a wonderful time and the memories of dancing with princesses, taking funny photos in the photo booth and winning prizes are priceless.

A special thank you went to Tea and Chi, which sponsored all of the teas for the events as well as volunteers, such as Liz Hancock, who supplied cupcakes. Hancock has been part of the event for nearly 15 years and says she loves being involved.

Other volunteers entertained guests by dressing up as princesses and leading activities.

The best part of the afternoon had to be the presence of multiple generations of ladies great-grandmothers and aunts, as well as first-time mothers embracing their little princesses and their own princesses within.

I would not change a thing, Holshouser said. The hard work definitely pays off. I cannot wait until next year to do it all over again.
