About 500 gazillion people will be watching the Final Season premiere of Downton Abbey tomorrow in the US and I bet a few of you would like to know how you can bring a little Downton Abbey vibe into your own little abode. In the words of Mr. Carson, "If you are tired of style, you are tired of life." You may not live in a castle or manor, but these tips will give your little party class this Sunday. I feel it is time to reveal photographic evidence of my little party I have been putting together since I've been down with streptococcus!! Haha
Some might say I am a Downton addict. I would say I just enjoy a beautiful era and the finer things in life haha I am so sad to say good-bye but I have queries that have kept me on the edge of my seat these many months. If you also have been wandering if Bates and Anna will ever get a happy ending, will Lady Mary find true love again, and will Lady Edith ever tell Lady Mary that she is Marigolds Mother then you might be just as smitten with Masterpiece's Downton Abbey as I am. So in honor of the final season😩 I thought I'd celebrate with a Downton inspired tea and viewing party! Never seen the series? Not to worry, many of these tea time ideas can be adapted to other festive romantic occasions.
Of course with no Mrs Pattmore to bake crumpets or Carlson on hand to oversee the tea service, this fete might be a tad scaled down by Downton standards; and since my "downstairs" is a basement consisting of storage boxes and a dusty treadmill rather than well dressed footman and kitchen maids, I kept things easy to make with a staff of two (my sister and I). She also is smitten with the series as I am. I've been talking for weeks that we were having a little tea party in honor of the final season, but she had no idea that I was serious in sticking to a perfect Downton Theme.
It was a perfect way to celebrate sister bonding and Downton. It was a chance to dress up, eat & drink our Downton wine and tea we have been saving for this special night purchased at World Market.
I highly recommend the whole “theme party” thing for final premiers. They deserve to be celebrated but you don’t want people to think you might be obsessed lol A little theme party with close friends is such a fun idea. OK you get the gist…here are the pics!
First things first. Cup of tea.
Images of Downton characters are easy to find online.
Glue on a craft stick and some flair if desired and get into character!
One of my next favorite items were these cute paper dolls.
