  • Is it expensive to throw a FestiviTea Party?
    Not at all. Throwing your own FestiviTea party won't leave holes in your pockets. Invite your friends and family over and ask them to bring their own baked treats and goodies to be raffled or sold that day. You might also want to ask them to bring their favourite mugs or teacups for an eclectic presentation on the table. Throw in some leftover tinsel from last year and you will have a recipe for a fabulous party that will warm the hearts of everyone.

    Tip: Making your party as personalised as possible will ensure guests feel cosy and comfy interacting with each other.
  • What are your tips to encourage more people to attend my party?
    There are plenty of ways to lengthen that list. If you're putting on a bigger event somewhere public, you can involve local businesses, invite some people from the local council, notify your local paper (email festivitea@nas.org.uk for a copy) or why not set up your own Facebook and Twitter pages for a wider audience.

    If you're having a smaller event at home, why not try some fun games or create a raffle that has a very personal stamp that you and your guests would appreciate.

    Tip: Having good prizes that your guests are keen to win will encourage more attendance and participation. You can speak to local businesses and use your connections to get hold of prizes. You will be surprised at how willing people are to take part. (When speaking to people about FestiviTea Party, always take something in writing about the event. Email fundraising@nas.org.uk and ask for a letter of authorisation.)
  • Can I throw more than one FestiviTea Party in one year?
    Yes, you can. There is no limit to the number of parties you can throw in a year. You can host a party for your colleagues and then a separate party for your neighbours, and perhaps another party for the mums in the local school. As they say, the more, the merrier!

    Tip: Throwing different parties allows you to experiment and try unique themes, recipes and games for each.
  • How can I make my party stress- and hassle-free?
    The FestiviTea party pack has everything you would need to start preparing for your own event. Order yours here today and you will receive invitations, posters, flyers, a checklist and so much more. Your pack will easily guide you from preparation to donating the money you've raised. It is so easy. You can also make it a family activity and involve everyone to share with the tasks and responsibilities.

    Tip: Start with a low amount to raise at first. You can double (or triple!) the amount in your future events.
  • When is the best time to throw a FestiviTea Party?
    Anytime during the festive period. You can turn a simple lunch with a group of friends into your own FestiviTea Party. How about an impromptu coffee break at work for a quick raffle of cookies and sweets? You can plan for a small event with minimal preparation or go for something bigger that requires more planning.

    Tip: If you're thinking of having a house party, make sure you have already checked the weather forecast for snow!
