King and Queen join tea party in St Helier - The Central Virginian

Revolution Red is celebrating one whole year of assisting women and girls in the community.

LEXINGTON, S.C. A local nonprofit welcomed guests for the Delivering Digni-Tea Party. Revolution Red hosted the Bridgeton-themed party, which was all about ending period poverty in our community.

We are celebrating one year of delivering dignity to the women and girls right here in our community, Shay Turman said.

Turman is the CEO and founder of Revolution Red, a local nonprofit tackling period poverty in the Midlands.

So many women and girls are in need right now because they get their periods monthly. They don't have the pads and tampons they need. One and four women between the ages of 12 and 50 live below the federal poverty line. Even if they did get government assistance, there is just not a voucher, there's nothing that could assist them with getting those products, Turman said.

The organization hosted the Delivering Digni-Tea Party on Saturday. Guests were invited to a party inspired by the Netflix series Bridgerton. Attendees learned about ways they could support women and girls in need.

It all starts with education. Events like this give the opportunity to educate," Turman said. "A lot of times, people don't talk about periods. It's so taboo, and so, we're all about breaking that stigma and breaking that taboo, having a conversation. People are suffering in silence. That's really what period poverty is all about. not having the materials and the products you need and not being able to talk about it.

Guests showed off their best-themed outfits and brought menstrual products that will be donated.

We invited friends that maybe didn't hear about it before because we want to bring awareness to the situation and it is an issue here at home, Jackie Banton said.

Another guest, Constance Edgerton, admires the work the organization does.

We know, as women ourselves, that the stigma of not being able to have those products when you need available can be embarrassing to ask for if you need them and so for someone to put them in different locations and people that want to volunteer to actually give to those, Edgerton said.

While progress has been made in South Carolina, specifically with the end of the tax on menstrual products earlier this year, Turman says the work has only just begun.

The journey is far from over. That was a big win with the tax being taken away, but we've seen so many struggles since we started this platform of people using things like socks or toilet paper as pads or using no pads at all, she said. "It's dangerous; it opens them up for infections like toxic shock syndrome. It leaves them susceptible to things like being overlooked for positions on jobs or being left behind in school, and it all just starts with something that their body cant control."

King and Queen join tea party in St Helier - lincolnnewsnow.com

It's hard to deny the aesthetic allure of "Bridgerton," whether you've soaked up every minute of the lush period drama or not. The three-season series on Netflix explores the nuanced social dynamics among Regency London's high society (and notably holds some of the steamiest scenes on the streaming platform.) If you've spent a weekend falling deep into the newest episodes, you might be feeling inspired to step into the world of duchesses and dukes for yourself. Dearest gentle reader, count us in.

Planning a tea party might sound like a monumental feat, but rest assured it's no more intimidating than an intimate dinner party. It all starts with a clear central theme such as the summer's sexiest Regency drama and a good measure of planning. From there, you'll build excitement with curated mood boards and enchant guests with thoughtful details.

Ahead, we're outlining seven ideas for planning your own garden tea party, including suggestions for the location, tablescape, attire, and more. Plus, we share expert advice on hosting a seamless tea party that might even impress Lady Whistledown (or, at least we'd like to think).

Lea Stafford is a California-based event planner and founder of Stafford Creative + Co.

AJ Williams is an event designer and founder of AJ Events.

Not sure where to begin? Outline a budget and approximate guest list to define the vision for the day. Whether you're hosting in your backyard or planning something a bit more formal, it's important to set expectations early. As event designer AJ Williams tells PS, hosts should start with a tentative guest list and intended price per person. (Don't worry you can adjust later as the RSVPs start to roll in.)

Curating a regal look all starts with the setting. While you might feel inclined to book a lush outdoor garden, Williams notes that some of the most impactful "Bridgerton" tea scenes actually take place within the sitting room. You'll have a bit more control over the day (and skip worries of heat, rain, and unwelcome insects) when hosting indoors. As event planner Lea Stafford highlights, you'll also want to weigh your guests' environmental preferences, allergies, and comfort needs when selecting a venue.

Floral bouquets are key to nailing this aesthetic look but you don't have to drop major money for fresh stems. Plan a day-of run to Trader's Joes or a local farmer's market to source affordable bouquets.

Stafford also recommends selecting decor that speaks to your group's most treasured memories. "I'm into simple, imperfect, raw moments," she tells PS. "There's something so special about having moments that showcase the actual material or item, and it's less about the styling of it."

Of course, no tea party is complete without the titular beverage. You might want to poll the group chat for a consensus on a favorite type of tea, but Chamomile or Earl Grey are safe bets. When planning finger foods try combining traditional tea service including scones and miniature sandwiches with more modern fare, all accented with a scattering of edible flowers. Presentation is paramount here.

"For any of the food, try layering and presenting them almost like a cheese board," Williams says. "Put crumpets, tea sandwiches, and assorted desserts on different platters and on elevated heights."

Take notes from Penelope's wardrobe and ask guests to dress in shades of soft pinks, yellows, blues, and greens. (It doesn't hurt that butter yellow and powder blues are major players in the current trend cycle, either.) Try recommending other Regency-era details such as exquisite lace and empire-waist gowns to further lean into that distinct look.

If you aren't planning something Bridgerton-inspired, rest assured that there's still room for planning around a theme. However, both Stafford and Williams caution against forcing anyone to adhere to a dress code; instead, try building a recommended color palette for that day.

Chances are, not every guest has soaked up every tantalizing twist from "Bridgerton." Ahead of the party, Williams suggests sharing a Pinterest board to inspire, set expectations, and drum up excitement. It's also the perfect moment to hop onto a party messaging platform, like Stafford's go-to TextMyGuests, to build community and keep everyone in the loop.

Gentle music acts as the backdrop of your bash and pulls the entire event together. If the occasion calls for it, you might consider a live musician or DJ to set the tone. (Otherwise, a well-curated playlist will do the trick.) A dainty, string quartet cover of Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso"? Consider us most pleased.

A highly stylized tea party all comes down to the moments you'll create. Small, thoughtfully planned details such as pastel cocktails and ice cubes with edible flowers are key providing guests with a delightful experience.

It's all too easy to get wrapped up in the aesthetics, but don't let yourself get lost in all the beautiful details. A practical, careful plan for the gathering including problem-solving for any outdoor location challenges helps everything to run smoothly. To make the occasion particularly heartfelt, Stafford suggests planning activities beloved by your friend group and details that reference sweet inside jokes.

"On social channels like Instagram, it's all about the glitz, the glam, and the aesthetic," Stafford says. "But there should be a deeper purpose. Highlighting that deeper purpose in a beautiful way is my goal." We'd politely raise a teacup to that.

How to Host a Tea Party, According to Experts - POPSUGAR

As part of Horsham District Councils 50th anniversary, the Councils Chairman Cllr Nigel Emery hosted a special tea party for 50 local Community Heroes at Warnham Nature Reserve on 20 June. The sun shone brightly on the award winners who do such amazing work across the Horsham District.

The awards are in honour of the Councils 50th anniversary year and to acknowledge and celebrate the people who make the Horsham District so special.

Commenting on the awards, Chairman Cllr Nigel Emery said:

The Horsham District community is full of dedicated people who give their time and talents so freely to make such a positive difference to the quality of peoples lives.

Cllr Emery personally thanked the 50 local people who were nominated by residents from across the whole of the Horsham District. People were recognised from many areas of community service including those involved in youth services, nature and environmental conservation, working with local brownie and scout groups and schools, making sports available to all ages and abilities, as well as the many volunteers from several local charities. All of these people regularly go above and beyond to improve the lives of others in their communities.

This year we mark a half century milestone for the Council, which was formed in 1974 when Horsham Urban Council amalgamated with Chanctonbury and Horsham Rural Councils creating Horsham District Council.

All of our local charities are in desperate need of volunteers to continue to make a difference to the people of Horsham District.If you have a few spare hours and think volunteering is for you, please get in touch with the Horsham District Council Voluntary Sector Support team.
