The event of the year....My Royal Wedding Party!

Umm…Wanda….I think you have the wrong date on your invitation…and you DEFINITELY have the wrong time!  A wedding on a Friday @ 4 AM...don’t you mean Saturday @ 4 PM??!!   This was the response I got from many of my friends when they received their invitation to my Royal Wedding celebration!   UHHH…I have a lot of pull, but I DID NOT set the date & time of the Royal Wedding!  However, it was certainly a good reason to celebrate & have a unique party!!  I sent out invitations fashioned after THE Royal Wedding invitation,

& 18 of my friends & family graciously accepted & joyfully participated!!  All were invited to show up @ 4 AM (when the televised festivities began) in their pjs, hats, & gloves.  All showed up in either their pjs or other royal finery, and we had an array of beautiful hats!  My guests were greeted by 2 valets – 1 parked their cars and the other escorted them up my sidewalk covered by a candle-lit white runner. 

Every guest was introduced with their royal name, such as Empress, Duchess, Lady, Princess…even Her Majesty the Queen and Queen Mum! 

Our wedding party was complete with wedding programs, wedding favors (bagged mints, engraved mugs with Prince William & Kate’s wedding date info, & a list of favorite British lingo rolled & tied with a ribbon!), & even a wedding cake!  We dined on a breakfast feast of tea & scones, quiche, breakfast potatoes, & orange blossoms.   We also extended our best wishes to the newly married couple on the mat of a photo frame!

We all oohed & ahhhed over Prince William & Prince Henry arriving at the Abbey, admired some & laughed at many of the hats, and were absolutely captivated by Kate as she arrived with her father.  Her dress was fabulous, and she looked absolutely radiant.  It was so fun to watch a wedding together with all my girlfriends…we didn’t have to keep quiet, we could talk about everyone, we could eat during the wedding, & we could do it all from the comfort of my living room in our pjs!!

Weddings are always memorable occasions and always a good reason for a celebration!  Even though we don’t personally know Prince William and Princess Catherine, I’m sure we will always treasure our memory of “attending” the Royal Wedding together.   Just another reason to celebrate!
