Celebrations are a great excuse to get together with friends. As wedding fever peaks in London, why not use the Royal Wedding as yet another excuse to celebrate?
If you start TODAY, you still have time to plan a Wedding Watch party. Just remember to take Friday off (or plan a late arrival). Most coverage begins around 4am EST Friday morning with the processions from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. The actual ceremony begins at 6 am EST, which is 11 am in London.
If fish and chips are not your idea of breakfast fare, here are a few other British-themed ideas: mini meat pies, turnover pastries, potpies and various English cheeses such as Stilton, Cheddar and Shropshire.
To further set the mood, we recommend playing romantic love songs. VoiceQuilt gift givers are most likely to add these love songs to a romantic voice message playlist.
1. "At Last" (Etta James)
2. "Because You Loved Me" (Celine Dion)
3. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" (Elton John)
Last but not least, why not use the factoids below to test the wedding fever in your crowd?
