If you're thinking about throwing a Queen's Platinum Jubilee party, then you probably want to go all out. From a themed menu to table decorations, here are five ideas that will help you do just that.
Group Footie
Get a gathering of people together to watch the Nations League qualifiers as England take on Germany, Italy and Hungary, what better way to celebrate her majesty's platinum than having a vibrant collection of people from across ALL groups roaring the nation on to success. It is well known that the Queen is a West Ham supporter, as was her mother before her, although those bastions of honesty the Sun have recently tried saying otherwise.
Themed Menu
You can do an old-school British feast, or you could create a menu inspired by the Queen's reign thus far. If you're going for the former, serving dishes like shepherd's pie and beef Wellington would be an option. For the latter, some potential menu items might include Jubilee cake and a coronation chicken sandwich.
Table Decorations
Table decorations can easily give a party a more celebratory feeling, especially when the celebration is for a royal occasion like a Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
A centrepiece is an excellent way to add some colour and personality to your table. Flowers, moss, and greenery are all great options. But if you want to get creative, try some horseshoes or mini crowns instead. Another easy decoration is balloons! Balloons in different colours, with crowns on them or even ones shaped like crowns, are perfect decoration options for any party.
Don't forget to add a touch of royal flair, from flags and candles to gold and silverware. You can also use royalty-themed plates or tablecloths for a more personal touch.
Flags And Bunting
Flags and bunting from a flag store is an excellent way to bring the theme of the party together. If you're not sure what flags to use, then the Union Jack is always a good option. For the bunting, you can use red, white, and blue, or you can mix it up with any colours that match your theme. If you're looking for inspiration, check out the range at North West Flags. This could help elevate your party and help focus the theme.
Party Games
Games are a time-honoured tradition at any party. Whether you're looking for a way to have your guests mingle or just want to have some fun, games can be a great addition to your party. When it comes to a party themed around the Queen's platinum jubilee, you can choose any types of games to have at your party.
If you're thinking of throwing it in the garden, you could have throwing games such as ring toss or throwing balls at coconuts. When inside, you could have colouring games for the children and later into the night drinking games, like beer pong, for the adults. You can also use traditional games like "guess who" and charades, or you can create your own game like a scavenger hunt.
Formal Or Casual?
Before you start planning your party, you need to decide if it should be formal or casual. If you want to throw a more formal event, you'll want to get dressed up and avoid any tacky decorations. Formal events typically have a dress code, and people don't usually wear jeans. If you're going for a more laid back vibe, then the dress code will depend on what you prefer, and it doesn't have to be overly formal. You could even throw in some formal touches like top hats for your guests to add a touch of silliness to your party.
