      Pinkie-Wagging High Tea

      Hosting a formal high tea sounds daunting, so don't do it. Opt for an interpretation of this British art form and invite your girlfriends over for an afternoon of girl talk and dainty sipping. Whether you go all out and polish up your tea service or just boil some water, the fun part here is to have an array of different teas to try, from exotic fruit-infused blends to simple herbal standbys. Make finger sandwiches and scones (or better yet, pick some up at a bakery). Play dress up and invite the girls to wear hats and pearls.
