• Ladies enjoy tea parties for their quiet charm.lady/woman having high tea image by L. Shat from Fotolia.com
  
  Tea parties are a genteel way for women to spend quality time with their friends while enjoying fine tea and delicate foods. Play tea party games that match the event. Forgo raucous games for spirited or even tame play. A tea party, for example, can accompany a game of bridge or canasta. Card games need not be your only options, though. Select games likely to elicit tinkling laughter and twinkling eyes.
