Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the year – and it sure looks beautiful from where I'm sitting 🙂 A beautiful day to be beside the sea, or relaxing in your garden, or even taking a picnic in the park? In fact, now that it’s Summer, why not have a picnic party for your hen-do, and leave A Most Curious Party to do the planning for you? Infact, A Most Curious Party can
bring along the blankets, bunting, hampers, perfect parasols, cupcakes
and afternoon tea sandwiches as well as beautiful vintage crockery to
serve it on from and all from only £15 per hen. That's rather splendid, don't you think?
I spoke with A Most Curious Party founder Rebecca recently, who told me all about one of her latest hen-party picnics…
"It was a scorching day in May – the bride to be had no idea, so was bowled over when the crafty hens, took off her blindfold to reveal her mad hatter’s style tea party in Regent’s Park. Tears were even shed when the bride saw the custom curious cup cakes adorned with the bride and groom’s initials.
As with this party, A Most Curious Party can provide activities such as saucy knicker making or fascinator creating or just bubbly in tea pots to get the party started! It’s a lovely, relaxed way to celebrate your passing from a fun loving gal to, well, a fun loving married lady…"
How spiffing! 🙂 I've written about A Most Curious Party

Dress (see some sneak pictures below with a link to the full feature)…

"A Most Curious Party is totally about tailoring it to be exactly how you want your Hen Party to be, from wheat-free cakes, to bringing props to pose with! 🙂
It was so fun
setting up in Regents Park, people were shouting 'can we join you' and
taking pictures left right and centre, I think that made the girls feel
really special. When I came back to collect everything, it was lovely to
see them all merry, well fed and having completely trashed the picnic, I
wish I could show you the before and after shots!"
"'It's events like that this that make the hard work worth it, to see the huge smiles on those girl faces and to help them show their love and excitement for their engaged friend as she got ready to be a wife was a real honour and very moving – it made me think I never want to stop doing what I do!"
A Most Amazing Wedding!…
Back in March, I featured A Most Curious Party's founder Rebecca's absolutely beautiful wedding. Here are a few sneak pics, but to view the article in full, click here...

What a wonderful idea – I would like one of these tea parties in my back garden TODAY ! xxx
Love this and am thinking of something on similar lines for my friend next year. only thing that worries me is the rain!! Would need a back up plan!
This was such a delight to read this morning. Thanks so much for sharing it. I’ll certainly keep this in mind for recommendation…Keep up the good work. 🙂 x
Amazing pictures! The use of colour is fab – I love the china teacups – very cute!
How wonderful. I’m not sure this would work in October though!
haha, I like the pictures, especially the one with the union jacks in the teacups, most curious indeed!
Love the pics.. what a beautiful setting!
I found this article useful in a paper I am writing at university. Hopefully, I get an A+ now!
