BBC have got a load of Royal Wedding recipes here. I think I'll be trying the raspberry cheesecake cupcake recipe!

Nobody around here is having a street party so I'm going to do a 'little something' for my two boys in the garden.

I was thinking of decorating the gazebo, making streamers on canes to wave/ put along the garden path, make coloured cupcakes....

So will anyone else be doing anything? Or does anyone have any ideas please?

Is it just your little boys who will be there or will you be havoing some of their friend there?

You could make some red, white and blue crepe paper bunting to string from the gazebo. (or look in poundshop as Im sure they will have decorations/bunting etc)

You could make crowns for the kids to decorate and wear. If its more that just your twoi may be ask people to lend you some stuff for a princess/prince dressing up box.

Food wise I'd go the tea party routie with fairy cakes with red white and blue icing. sandwiches with crust cut off, sausage rolls etc

happierdays it's just going to be my boys so I suppose it's a bit of an excuse to have a tea party lol.

Thanks Gigervamp, I'll have a look at that site.

There isn't a single royalist bone in my body so i won't be participating in any kind of celebration. I do however,wish the couple well, just as i would any couple getting married.

Having said that i do understand why people do want to celebrate such royal events and i hope all who do so have a very enjoyable time.

I feel much the same as katholicos, but my daughter's school are doing the 'playground street party' thing and so I needed to dress her up as a princess. I was a dressmaker for years and still keep a small hoard of fabric remnants from those days - looking through this for a suitable piece of fabric I found a weird velvet evening dress that I don't remember ever seeing before.

It was handmade (badly) and I've a feeling it was given to me by one of my husband's relatives in the hope that I could fix what they'd mucked up, as it would have been physically impossible for anyone to have survived being born the shape that would have been expected to fill it. No amount of work would have made it fit an adult, but with a bit of chopping about and taking up it now fits my seven year-old just fine. She's wearing it with a silver 'stole' (one of my scarves) and a crown made during an afternoon spent plundering my mum's cardmaking and scrapbooking stash. Total cost - nil. I may earn my OS stripes one day after all

My daughter's school is also doing a tea party and she needs to take a snack in with her. I'm toying with making her a pizza with a union jack pattern on the top... a bit bonkers but I thought it might be fun??!!
