Need opinions on having a noontime "Tea Party instead of later in the day. I'm doing so to thank some dear!
ladies for giving me a memorial tree in honor of my daughter, who passed last year!. Is it proper to serve little sandwiches, cakes, various teas (and coffee, of course for the diehards) at noon instead of later in the afternoon, as is traditional!? I also need some advice on "dedicating" the tree possibly with a little prayer!. Any ideas!? I know this is the place to go for help, and am looking forward to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think the noontime Tea is a fantastic idea, ladies are tea party any time people! The food suggestions you have sound perfect, maybe add some scones, little ones, with whipped cream and a good jam, you won't have to fuss over anybody after everything is on the table!. Maybe get a simple date & banana loaf for the men, sliced on a plate man sized!. I am not sure about the words for your dear daughter, I wish you all the best with your dedication!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Your idea's sound wonderful!. The tree is a wonderful reminder of life, though fragile and limited!. I would just like to say how sorry I am for your loss!. Know please that one day you will be re-united and in that time there will be no more sorry, pain, tears or death, for God has promised to wipe them all away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
