Abigail Adams Tea Party

Host a colonial Abigail Adams Tea Party. Invite a special guest to dress up and act as Abigail Adams!

Food: Chocolate covered strawberries, scones with jam, bread and cheese, etc.
Dessert: Large White Flag Cake (make stripes with strawberries, use blueberries for star area)
Table Conversation: Place questions inside each place setting name card to ask "Abigail Adams" guest. Abigail then can answer questions so you can learn more about the time period she grew up in, her family, marriage etc.
Decor: Flag centerpiece, red, white, and blue plates and tea cups
Craft: Make Pomander Balls (using an orange and whole cloves). These were used to keep closets smelling fresh during colonial times. They were also carried by people when visiting sick friends. They believed if the smelled the pomander ball they wouldn't get sick themselves.  You can tie ribbon around them to "hang" up (see image below).  These also make beautiful and good smelling Christmas Decorations!
