Each signature collection is designed around service for eight guests and lists its included teacups, plates, teapots, serving pieces, a table runner, and decorative accents. The collection page also identifies the one-day rental and included delivery, professional setup, and pickup. Your personalized quote confirms the final selections and service details.

Can I mix Collections or rent individual pieces?
At this time, rentals are available through our coordinated Signature Collections. Individual pieces and custom mixes are not offered separately.
How do I check whether my date is available?
Complete the short Check Availability form with your date, location, guest count, and preferred collection. We’ll review the request and contact you with availability and next steps.
Does submitting the form reserve my date?
No. The form is an inquiry and does not create a reservation. Your date is confirmed after availability is verified and the required rental agreement and payment are completed.
How far in advance should I reserve?
We recommend contacting us as soon as you know your event date, especially for weekends and seasonal celebrations. Availability varies, so earlier requests offer the best selection.
Where do you provide service?
Topsy Turvy Tea Party Rentals is based in Carlsbad and serves surrounding North San Diego County communities. Location availability and any location-related charges will be clearly confirmed in your quote.
How are pricing and optional add-ons handled?
Starting prices and included items are shown on each signature collection. Additional place settings, specialty serving pieces, linens, décor, or other requested items are priced in your personalized quote before you reserve.
What are the care, return, and damage requirements?
Your rental agreement provides the care and return instructions for the pieces you receive. It also explains responsibility for missing, damaged, or improperly returned items and any applicable replacement or service charges. For complete care, packing, return, damage, and replacement requirements, please read our Rental Agreement. You may review it at any time; signing is only required after your availability and final quote are confirmed.
What are the payment and cancellation terms?
Payment dates, deposits if applicable, and cancellation terms are included in your written quote and rental agreement. Review and accept those terms before the reservation is confirmed.
