Eating Like Royalty
I know the Royal Wedding has come and gone, but I wanted to share recipes and party ideas from my Royal Wedding Reception/Birthday Party! Maybe it will give you inspiration for your next soirée.
For my Royal Wedding Party I instructed all the gals to wear fancy hats and the guys to dress up in their finest British attire. (One guest went for the British punk look, which was fab!) I decorated...
