Queen's Diamond Jubilee Ideas


Now throwing a neighbourhood  party is alittle different than a party in your own back yard,



(Don't forget to download your free Diamond Jubilee Subway Art at the bottom of the page)


isn't this beautiful, wrong colours but just wanted to share it with you.

The Queen's Silver Jubilee 1977



and here's an indoor option,
just in case the good olde British summer lets us down (as if)




ROAD CLOSURE


If you are planning to close the road you will need to get permission from your local council
Councils do vary but approximately 3 - 12 weeks before.



POSTERS



Add your own details...




INVITATIONS

call on each neighbour and hand deliver 6-8 weeks in advance as this breaks the ice



also note cars will need moving from off the street politely
reminders to pop through doors


COSTUMES

not that kind of party - but scatter enough party hats and blowers for the kids at least


PARTY MUSIC PLAY LIST

you will need a music / entertainment licence for pre planned music
See here for advice



SETTING THE SCENE


Set up long rows of tables and chairs

How about a jubilee time capsule.
