Just because you aren’t invited to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. Throw a party of your own to wish the couple well and bond with the British (and American).
No matter what scale of party you are throwing, whether it be organising a street party for your whole neighbourhood, or even just inviting your besties over for a fun and fab celebration and sitting together to watch the wedding of the year, royal wedding parties are always a huge hit!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel on May 19th. It’s not every day that an actress becomes a Princess, so why not host a royal wedding watch party?
In a statement, Clarence House said: "Her Majesty The Queen has granted permission for the wedding to take place at the Chapel.

It is not always going to be practical due to difficulties in restricting traffic. However, you could create and deliver some leaflets to your local community to see if there is any interest in a group of you to work together and organise a party for the whole community.
You don’t need to spend too much money on this, you can design a simple invitation on your computer and print it off at home. We’d suggest including a picture of the happy couple on your invitation to make it stand out and to appeal to those who are likely to be interested.[/fusion_text][imageframe lightbox="no" lightbox_image="" style_type="none" hover_type="none" bordercolor="" bordersize="0px" borderradius="0" stylecolor="" align="none" link="" linktarget="_self" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" animation_offset="" hide_on_mobile="no" class="" id=""]

Add a crest, put Lord or Lady before your name and be sure to mention that the King or Queen also request their presence. I feel like it will be very girly clothes to fit in. However, with the weight off and lighter knees, I’ll hopefully be more comfortable wearing this.
Make sure that you include your phone number and suggest meeting up for a chit-chat with those who are interested and get the ball rolling!

Even though this occasion is no afternoon tea, we’d dress somewhat conservatively with a few ricks. While many weddings are about the dress, royal weddings are all about the hats and fascinators.

Let your guest be part of the Queen’s family with the help of masks of the royals. Celebrity face masks are entertaining and help elevate your party to a different level.

Just because you aren’t invited to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. Throw a party of your own to wish the couple well and bond with the British (and American).
No matter what scale of party you are throwing, whether it be organising a street party for your whole neighbourhood, or even just inviting your besties over for a fun and fab celebration and sitting together to watch the wedding of the year, royal wedding parties are always a huge hit!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel on May 19th. It’s not every day that an actress becomes a Princess, so why not host a royal wedding watch party?
In a statement, Clarence House said: "Her Majesty The Queen has granted permission for the wedding to take place at the Chapel.

It is not always going to be practical due to difficulties in restricting traffic. However, you could create and deliver some leaflets to your local community to see if there is any interest in a group of you to work together and organise a party for the whole community.
You don’t need to spend too much money on this, you can design a simple invitation on your computer and print it off at home. We’d suggest including a picture of the happy couple on your invitation to make it stand out and to appeal to those who are likely to be interested.[/fusion_text][imageframe lightbox="no" lightbox_image="" style_type="none" hover_type="none" bordercolor="" bordersize="0px" borderradius="0" stylecolor="" align="none" link="" linktarget="_self" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" animation_offset="" hide_on_mobile="no" class="" id=""] [/imageframe][separator style_type="none" top_margin="10px" bottom_margin="10px" sep_color="" border_size="" icon="" icon_circle="" icon_circle_color="" width="" alignment="center" class="" id=""][fusion_text]You could even create an invitation that mimics Kate and Wills or Meghan and Harrys.
