Of course, a good party needs lots of organisation, time and a bit of money! But it’s worth it if you can offer a moment of happiness to someone you love. So, here are a few tips for the organisation:

1. Choose the place. It can be really nice to have a party at home, but you need to think about the number of guests and the space you have available to accommodate them. If you don’t have the space, you’ll need to find a room to hire (village hall, restaurant, bar…).

2. Once you have chosen the place, you need to send the invitations! You’ll need to send them early enough for all your friends to get themselves organised. Leave an RSVP space on the invitations and add a map and contact details of hotels in the area. If you are organising a themed or surprise party, then don’t forget to warn your guests on the invites!

3. It’s common to send thank you cards at some point during the two weeks following a party. Choose a design that matches your invitations and order them at the same time.

From spa weekends, weekend breaks abroad, nights out on the town or at home, the choice is there. You also, however, need to find some small gifts for the bride or groom-to-be…

Here are few fun ideas to help your friend prepare for their future wedded bliss:

• Bumper stickers or car door magnets – add a photo of the happy couple and a personal message, or simply announce the fact they are getting wed…

• Thank you cards – they’ll definitely come in handy after the big day, when they’ll have to thank everyone who came to the ceremony or the party…

• Headed paper – with the couple’s name, of course, or maybe you could design them a monogram…

• Engraved pens – choose one of our sophisticated models and add the names of the couple, and the date they will tie the knot…

• They may not be royalty, but they still deserve ‘his and hers’ mugs! Customise them with photos à la Kate and William, and add a message from their friends…

• Luggage tags – to make their life easier when they head off on their honeymoon!

Don’t forget, after the party, create some key rings and /or t-shirts as a souvenir for all those who came!

The possibilities are endless – use your sense of fun to create an image that best represents the personality of the person (or animal) you are caricaturing. If there are a few of you, you could each choose another person to do and be prepared to have a giggle at the results!
