Invite for FC/Queen etc!!

I know this sounds bizarre but a few years ago my friend got married + as a suprise invited her fellas fave footie team + the queen to their wedding!! Obviously she knew they'd never attend in a million years BUT she received fab RSVPs with autographs etc that she then framed as as a gift for hubby!
Just wondered if anyone is planning to do this + what on earth you would write?! x

  • My cousin did this for her husband - he's a massive Arsenal fan so she wrote to Arsene Wenger, who wrote a lovely letter back!!

    It's in a frame and I'm sure has pride of place (well, after the wedding photos!)

  • i have written to a few of other halfs fav tv shows, teams etc and explained he is a huge fan and could they possibly write something back, or send a signed photo

    I have had a couple of responses (one that I am really really excited about)

    Im going to do him a box of stuff for the morning of the wedding (little things like some nice new pants, and socks, some chocolate, a can of drink etc and these letters - probably framed) each thing will have a little note from me to him on it to explain why its there (socks for his cold feet etc)

    Im hoping he will love it, as its taking quite a lot of putting together lol

    That's a good idea about doing a box of bits for the big day!! Football club wise should i send the actual invite with a covering letter to i'm guessing the manager of the club? (liverpool)
    Thanks in advance x
  • well I didnt send an invite, I just wrote a nice letter
    if you pm me your email address Ill send you one of the ones I sent out if you like, that way you can let it inspire you about what to write :)

    I put an address label in with mine with my address on it to make it easier for whatever they decided to send back to me :)
