Royal-tea Party

So today was the day when my British passport holding half of my split personality got to wave its Union Jack in mock delight. The Pink House hosted a very, very tongue in cheek Royal Wedding party, a royal-tea party... geddit?!

The Queen of Puddings started baking early, thanks to her two little girl alarm clocks...
Cupcakes were on the menu...

Union Jack cakes

And red velvet cupcakes with white chocolate cream cheese icing

Chintzy china was laid on a white table cloth (for that read sheet!), bunting was strung, and pink, white and blue balloons inflated.


Glad rags were put on. 

And lots of girly bling was sported by the assembled (and anonymous!!) throng!

Wedding hats were created


And Earl grey tea was brewed most delicately.

Let the festivities begin!

The ceremony was watched at top volume, with great critiquing of fashion...

Hymns were sung along with... and God Save the Queen - with irony of course... and with the windows well closed, so that we weren't stoned!
Then time for a picnic lunch in the sunshine...
With English sandwiches galore, cucumber, ham, smoked salmon and chicken liver pate. and the first of this season's strawberries.
Washed down with home made lemonade... and pink champagne...
And lots more cake!
God save the Queen ;))

  2. Wow!! This book themed baby shower seems very awesome. Have never arranged and attended such baby shower but would love to arrange it for my best friend’s baby shower at one of Chicago event venues. Will implement your ideas too. Thanks for such a wonderful post.
