We have done our church rainbow tea as a fundraiser and it has always been a success. We sell the foods at each table through tickets. Anything on the table is 2 or 3 tickets which are 50 cents each. We ask our table captains to be sure and have the foods set up for portions. We also have craft tables where the kids can make a craft for 2 tickets. Then we have a beautiful craft table that is decorated in all the colors of the rainbow that displays crafts made by our talented ladies that are for sale. We did one last fall and for orange, we had a pumpkin decorating craft table and one of our members got all the pumpkins donated! We have also had bead tables where you can make bracelets in beads the color of the table. We have been successful in getting most of the supplies for these donated so that whatever we make at the tea, the church gets to keep.
Nancy, sometimes Rainbow teas also serve as fundraisers for the church group.. so maybe some of our visitors can add some ideas for what they have sold at their Rainbow teas. Also, a cute idea would be to decorate straw hats with red ribbons, flowers and more then string them along your table. You could raffle them off if it is a fundraiser or use them as door prizes. We decorated hats for our daughter's bridal shower. Here's how we did it: http://www.celebrationideasonline.com/hat-decorating.html. Could be such a fun and festive and original idea for your rainbow tea decorations.

Rainbow Tea Ideas by: Lizzie
A fun idea for a centerpiece is to fill a vase with clear marbles and those red atomic fireballs and add some fresh roses.. it will look very pretty. Also for your table see if you can find some remnants of red material instead of using plastic tableclothes. You can decorate with red ribbons, buttons,lace and anything you have. For foods, red is easy - cherries, strawberries, fruit punch, red velvet anything is always a hit! Try to enjoy it all and you'll have fun with the other ladies too. You can google to see what each color represents.. they are all different.
