How to throw a royal wedding viewing party

Here's what you need to throw a chic royal wedding viewing party for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials on Saturday, May 19, 2018.

Ready to watch a real-life fairy tale unfold? We've rounded up everything you need to throw a royal wedding viewing party, complete with tiaras, tea and treats.

 

The invitations

null

Prince Harry and Meghan Wedding Watch Invitation, $15, etsy.ca/Jazzdoodles.

You can't throw a party without officially inviting your guests. Set the mood and the theme with these oh-so-cute royal wedding invitations. 

 

The dress code

null

Yumi Kim Morning Light Floral Robe, US $60, bhldn.com.

Let's be honest: You won't actually want to get dressed for the royal wedding (it's happening at 7am EST, on a Saturday). Encourage guests to simply throw on a beautiful robe like one of these for a comfy-chic fete.

lovelushcrowns Sienna Tall, $37, etsy.com.

Step up your pyjama game by topping off your look with a tiara — which also happen to make great party favours. 

 

The essentials

null

Smeg Tea Kettle, Williams-Sonoma, $139.95, williams-sonoma.com.

In Britain, putting the kettle on is basically a national sport. Get those eyes open at the crack of dawn with the help of a piping hot cuppa made in this gorgeous European tea kettle.

null

Champagne Flutes, $40, indigo.ca.

You'll need some pretty champagne glasses if you plan to raise a toast to the happy couple. We love these Kate Spade Pearl Place Flutes. The shimmery gold dots add a decidedly celebratory flair to them. (Psst: We recommend serving our Cranberry Mimosas or Pineapple Mimosas.)

null

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Royal Wedding Teacup and Saucer, £45, williamedwardshome.co.uk.

Your guests will love sipping their tea (or crying into it, now that Harry is off the market) out of one of these royal wedding commemorative bone china teacups. Plus, they're a collectible you'll have in your family forever. 

null

Queen Cookie Cutter, $3.25, etsy.ca/imagineacookie.

Whip up some queen-shaped cookies with the kids and nibble on them while watching the wedding of the year go down.

Party Like Royalty Paper Plates, $5.41, notonthehighstreet.com.

For those who don't want to have to deal with dishes on the wedding day, opt for paper plates for easy cleanup.

And paper cups, too!
