bridal tea
Bride's celebratory party
A bridal tea is a pre-wedding celebration for the bride, typically an afternoon gathering with tea, light refreshments, and feminine company.
More formal and restrained than a bridal shower, it often involves actual tea service and delicate foods: The bridesmaids hosted a bridal tea at the garden club.
The tradition skews toward older or more traditional social circles.
