Royal Wedding Madness

Surely it comes as no surprise that I am over the top excited for the upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Or Wills and Kate if you will, cause we're tight, natch.

For the last few weeks I've been discussing the details, the fashions, the parties and the barrage of paparazzi pics with my twitter gals. The Daily Beast did a fabulous summary with pictures of the wedding details, here if you're new to all this wedding madness. And Art Info added some unique family and guest list details I hadn't heard in their summary, here.

I can hardly believe that the big day is finally upon us. Are you hosing a party? Attending one? Alas I'm not but have heard from several super creative fabulous ladies who are hosting their own. What a fabulous idea! In some cases they've made it a girls sleep over. I'm squealing on the inside for you and I just hope to get pictures from these fabulous soirees!

This is the one I had!
I am old enough to remember the epic wedding of Charles and Diana, though to be fair I was a very wee one and probably didn't notice anything more than Diana's amazing dress. In fact my favorite memory from the wedding were the Charles and Di paper dolls that I played with for ages and ages. I was tickled to see that they are in fact still making paper dolls and have created a William and Kate royal set! If I had a daughter I would totally justify purchasing them.

And speaking of royal wedding memorabilia, holy mother of marketing!! I couldn't believe how much was out there. I'll let you decide what is a "must have" and what is... well, tacky. So, whether you're sipping champagne, Pimm's or in my case a very strong cup of coffee (It'll be 5am people, seriously!) I hope you can giggle at a few of these preposterous items while ooohing and awwwhing at the fabulous fashions, fascinators and *fingers crossed* royal jewels!

I maybe kinda want this!


And they've even made a few things for those who may not be as excited as I am for the wedding! 




Cheers, 
Ouiser
