Something fancy of course! Now is the time to pull out your old wedding dress, suit or bridesmaid’s outfit.

They’ve been mouldering away in your cupboards for years. Now is the time to pull out your finery. Go hard or go home, we say!

3. A stupid hat is essential

The royals love their ridiculous hats.

These ladies know the more ridiculous the hat – the better.

Guaranteed, most guests on Saturday will be wearing something silly on their heads.

We recommend making your own hat. As a media company, we recommend this newspaper pirate hat.

4. The food

In honour of Harry and Meghan’s union, the food should be a mash-up of British and American food.

For the English part of the feast think tiny little Queen Elizabeth-worthy sandwiches, pots of tea, scones, sponge cake, glasses of champagne, and strawberries and cream.

Tea and scones anyone?

Get fat on American food with mac and cheese balls, gallons of Coke, Long Island ice teas, tater tots, brownies, hot dogs and fried chicken.

5. Party games

Play royal wedding bingo!

Remember, royal weddings don’t come around too often.

And try not to cry because Prince Harry failed to pick you – there’s been plenty of royal divorces in the Windsor family.

You can pick him up next time around.

Camilla Parker-Bowles managed it!
