Mother/Daugther Tea Fundraiser! Need IDEAS

[hlaw97]

Our chapter of Beta Sigma Phi in Louisiana is planning a Mother/Daughter tea party as a fund raiser on November 18th to benefit a local hospice!! We are really excited as this will be our 1st!! We are trying to think of a good idea for entertainment besides a silly boom box! Also what other ideas would you great sisters have for the tea! We want to make it a yearly fundraiser for the community. Something for mothers/grandmothers/aunts and children of all ages to come enjoy! Any age is welcome so we are looking to keep them occupied !

PLEASE help!!!

Perhaps a silent auction or a fashion show with sponsored boutique shops including jewelry, clothes, and handbags. Even have free giveaways. Contact your local chapter of Women Small Business Owners, and send out a interest email. This will be great PR for the business owners and they could rent space and sell some of their merchandise at the tea or offer coupons to those attended.

Also, since you want this to be a yearly event, are you going to change benefactors each year? If not, I would suggest developing and nurturing a relationship and having Hopspice involved someway.

Let me know if you need any other suggestion or help with logistic planning. I plan large association meetings and happy to share my experience!
