Are you dressing up for the royal wedding day

With a national holiday been thrown to cheer up the British public we look at ideas for dressing up on the 29th of April.

The internet and shops are starting to fill up with the fun and novelty items that are great to help you join in with the spirit of things.

As times have been hard in the UK and people are been a little more frugal with their pennies then this has been reflected in the low price of items available.

With ties starting at under £2 each even the most hard pressed patriotic Brit can feel included

Jokingaround fancy dress have two examples of Union Jack sequinned ties available which when worn with even a plain white shirt will liven up the wearers face and those around.

For the ladies who may venture in to the pub to raise a glass or two in celebration a unique red,whirte and blue sequinned Union Jack Dress has been produced especially for the occasion.

For those who fancy staying a little closer to home maybe some of the many Union Jack decorations available would be suitable to spruce up your house or street if joining forces with the neighbours.

With the wedding having blanket coverage on all major channels there will be chance to get your feet up and watch at your leisure.

ITV have chosen the loveable Philip Schofield to front their coverage of the wedding 

This may be the only chance the younger generation gets to watch such an important event so dressing up and pushing the boat out a little is important we feel.
