In fact one of my prized possessions as a child was a porcelain tea set that I received for my seventh birthday. Now that I&#8217;m a mother myself, I have shared my love of afternoon tea parties with my own daughter.

She dressed up as her favorite princess and we had a blast!<\/p>\n<p>In every child&#8217;s life, there is a special moment that can never be forgotten. For many children this happens when they attend their first afternoon tea party with friends and family as the guest of honor.
