A LIGHT TEA

Here's a "Bright Idea" for a tea.  Sent in by Maxine of www.mysteryteaparties.com

I hosted a "Light Tea" since many of my friends are on diets.  But my Light Tea had a twist.  There were candles on the table, and their place cards were light bulbs set in a holder so they would stand upright.  I painted their names on the light bulbs.  The napkin rings were bracelets that lit up that I found in the 99 cent store.  Each one received a pretty Victorian style night light as their table favor.  They each had a pretty votive candle at their place setting (besides the candles in the centerpiece).

I tried to keep the food on the light side too, using Splenda in the scones, low fat mayo in the sandwiches and pie made with sugar-free, fat-free pudding mixes.  My guests enjoyed it all, and I was surprised what a hit the flashing bracelets made.
