How Your Business Should Celebrate the Royal Wedding

Royal weddings are rare and exciting events. With only a few royal weddings expected to take place within our lifetimes, we can’t wait to make the most of this year’s festivities. The upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is sure to be an event we’ll all be talking about for years. It is expected to draw a dazzling collection of celebrities, royalty, and world leaders. The public’s love of and fascination for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is also expected to grow as the big day approaches. This is the kind of event you want to include as part of your business, particularly if you operate a brick and mortar location where you can truly make the most of the upcoming occasion. Here are great ways to delight your customers by celebrating the royal wedding.

Royal Wallflowers

You can incorporate the royals into your existing business décor by adding posters or framed pictures of the royal family. Draping them in garlands of flowers or plants can help capture the wedding mood while giving your business a lovely spring-like atmosphere. The royal couple’s engagement pictures are particularly touching and they can remind all of your customers the importance of romance and love.

Interactive Royalty

Why not let your customers have their own brush with royals? Set up cardboard cutouts of the royal family in your business so that your clients and visitors can take turns taking selfies or group pictures with their favourite members of the royal family. This can be fun for your current customers while attracting new visitors, also. Encourage your customers to post their pictures online along with the name and location of your business. GPS features on most social media platforms makes it easy for people to post the pictures while they help to promote your business.

Special Offerings

For restaurants and anywhere else that sells food or beverages, the royal wedding is the perfect excuse to dream up some new, exciting specials. This can be the chance your chef, baker, or bartender has been waiting for to let his or her creativity shine. Dream up a new cocktail that represents the royal wedding, develop separate drinks for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or make a romantic cupcake that captures the romance of their special day.

Be sure to promote your latest royal wedding-inspired offerings. You can even start a contest where people can suggest ideas for creative royal-themed edible offerings you can serve. A little research can help you find out a few favourite flavours, foods, and colours from each person in the royal family so that you can personalise your special menu items to honour them appropriately.

Wedding Events

To make the most of the royal wedding event, why not host a wedding watching event? Tune the televisions at your business to watch the festivities and make the celebration fun for everyone. You can hand out wedding party favours like crowns, face masks of the royal family, or other wedding-related souvenirs. The wedding will be more fun watched in as part of a group event. Together you and your customers can watch from the beginning when celebrities and other wedding attendees begin to arrive through the newly married royal couples’ carriage ride. An event of this magnitude and duration can equal hours of entertainment for your customers and hours of food and drink sales for your business.
