A Fancy Night

A couple months ago at our Life Group, some of the girls and I started talking about Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding and whether we were going to watch. I knew I was going to, and several others were as well, so I decided to throw a royal wedding-watching tea party! We had it last night (we recorded everything so we could pick and choose which parts we wanted to watch) and it was fabulous!! We had tea, scones, cake balls, English cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, nuts, chocolate, and even had a champagne toast! We all enjoyed watching the beautiful ceremony and commenting on the unique and daring hats the spectators wore. We also had fun playing a trivia game to see who knew the most about the Royal family, and voted on which party attendee had the best hat. Most of all, though, we enjoyed getting to dress up (dress code was Sunday best and a hat!) and have some girl time! I think we may not wait for another royal wedding to have our next tea party!

lovely ladies in their lovely attire: Emily and Amanda...
...Julie (winner of best hat!)...
...Wendy (who won the trivia game and the prize: a $5 replica of Kate's ring!)...
...Joy...
...Becky's crazy hat...
...and Becky's real hat!

Thanks, ladies, for a fancy, fabulous time!

How fun! I didn't see any of it since we don't have tv and I never checked online, but your party looks like it was a lot of fun! I especially love the hats!
