Afternoon at the Manor: Victorian Tea Party
August 16, 2025
“One must always take tea—especially when it is served with a touch of scandal and a hint of rosewater.”
Dearest Reader,
You are cordially invited to Afternoon at the Manor, a most distinguished affair where the clinking of fine china and the flutter of lace gloves fill the air with refined anticipation. This elevated Victorian high tea promises an afternoon of elegant indulgence, where society’s finest gather beneath chandeliers to sip and socialize in true Regency fashion.
Prepare to be delighted with a sumptuous selection of teas, delicate finger sandwiches, decadent pastries, and other exquisitely prepared delicacies—each course served with the grace and grandeur one would expect of a lady or gentleman of standing.
Guests are encouraged to arrive in their finest Regency or Victorian-inspired attire, for one never knows who may be observing—or what rumors may find their way into next week’s column.
Attendance is limited to only the most esteemed of guests.
Kindly RSVP to secure your place at what is certain to be the talk of the season.
Yours most delightfully,
The Lady of the Manor
