Host tips
- Lay out throws, cushions, and a few floor seats so no one feels they have to perch politely
- Keep the kettle going all night. Refilling cups gives shy guests a natural pause to jump in
- Pre-write the questions on cards so anyone can pick the next one, taking pressure off the host
Bring your softest sweater and your honest opinions on Mr. Darcy. We are gathering for tea, stew, and a cozy chat about Pride and Prejudice.
