5 TIPS ON HOW TO THROW THE IDEAL ROYAL WEDDING STREET PARTY

With the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Megan Markle fast approaching, if you haven’t made the guest list cut, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the nuptials in style. Instead, plan and throw the perfect street shindig to celebrate Harry and Meghan’s love. With the help of Co-Founder of Betty Blythe, the UK’s no.1 expert on Street Parties and author of Style Me Vintage Tea Parties, here’s 5 IDEAL tips on how to throw the IDEAL Royal wedding street party.

SET THE SCENE

Bring the best of London to outside your doorstep by spritzing the streets with a trestle table, miss-matched chairs, white table cloths, and retro china. These darling decorations will set the mood as quintessentially British as the street parties of 1939. Oh, and don’t forget the bunting!

RAID YOUR PARENTS ATTIC

Vintage tech such as a record player to roar out some old 50s tunes will make the swanky soirée the perfect toast to the royal duo.

FOOD FIT FOR A QUEEN

Don’t fancy a spam sandwich? – go royal with coronation chicken buns. Don’t forget a retro sweet bag for everyone to enjoy – blackjacks, fruit salads, liquorice allsorts, and pear drops – as it won’t be the biggest British Bash (okay, maybe second to the wedding itself) without these sweets on the table.

CONTRIBUTION IS KEY

Encourage your guests to contribute to the menu with sausage rolls, jelly and ice-cream, and bottles of vintage pop. Hit the Royal recipe books and whip up the Queen’s very own Scotch pancakes that she made for then-President Dwight Eisenhower in 1960.

OLD FASHIONED STREET GAMES

If your party is ever going to entertain the masses, then kit the streets out with retro
street games. Hopscotch, tiddly winks, hula hoops and skipping ropes that’ll keep the kids (and their parents) entertained as they wait for the royal pairing to get hitched.
