Royal Wedding Arts And Crafts Street Parties: How To Organise One
Some useful suggestions for arranging a thrilling children’s party on the day of the Royal Wedding
2011 is an historic year for everyone with a connection to the UK; the Royal Nuptials offers a great chance for grown-ups and kids to get creative and celebrate the happy union of William and Catherine.
This article will hopefully help you organise a Royal Wedding party for kids; giving you suggestion regarding children’s Arts and Crafts items to prepare beforehand, activities, clothes your kids will love, food and drink to consume and keepsakes.
It is traditional to hold a party to mark the occasion of a royal marriage but how best to arrange a joyous and fun event which will give everyone, young and old, a day to treasure?
The basics
The wedding is scheduled for Friday, 29th April. You won’t have to give children the day off school as it is a public holiday throughout the British Isles – reason in itself to get excited.
The wedding ceremony is expected to take place around 11am. How about organising your party so that you and the children have an early afternoon lunch followed by a tea party later on so that your family can be together to watch the great occasion live on television.
House party or street party
You are required to seek authorisation from the council in order to organise a street party. Once you get the official green light, your street can be closed off; letting children scamper about in a traffic-free setting. The Streets Alive website is the idealplace to discover how to request a street closure.
Unfortunately, us Brits must always keep a look-out for the weather, and a street party might mean that children get a little chilly - the Met Office has warned that temperatures aren’t expected to exceed 16C – so decorating the house as a back-up plan may be good planning.
Invites
If you are posting invites don’t forget to get children involved nice and early to create some excitement. In keeping with the theme, they could write the invitations with Union Jack pencils.
Once the invites have been posted it’s time to get cracking with activities such as making Design-a-Crown Masks; items which can be personalised with sparkling glitter.
Creating a mood
The most obvious way to create a party atmosphere is by hanging out flags, bunting and balloons so that the day can become a sea of vibrant reds, whites and blues.
Ensure confetti is at hand as the vows are exchanged!
What to wear?
As all little princesses will tell you: it’s exciting to get creative and accessorise – items such as the Design-a-Royal Wedding Shoulder Bag are set to be all the rage on 29th April.
Children who wish to sport a Union Jack with pride will also enjoy designing their own Royal Wedding Badge.
Party games
There’s nothing to say that you can’t combine a good bit of exercise with a wedding-themed party game; why not try| musical chairs with stop-start ‘Here Comes the Bride’ music?
Face Painting – using flag and Union Jack designs – should also be a big hit.
Mementos
Companies such as Baker Ross stock a wide selection of great gifts which can be kept as mementoes by your guests. In future years, many adults will have keepsakes such as a personalised Royal Wedding Plate to remind them of an historic day and a fun party!
