May provides a lot of opportunities to celebrate. Between Cinco de Mayo, the Kentucky Derby and Memorial Day, there is no shortage of chances to kick back and relax with good food and drinks. But this year is special because there is a once-in-a-lifetime event happening. On May 19, an American will marry an heir to the British throne. The Royal Wedding has finally arrived.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thought of everything, too. They even made sure the happy event takes place on a Saturday. Throwing a royal wedding party will require a couple of decisions, the first one being: Are you going traditional or modern? If you want to go traditional, set your alarm for 5 a.m. and make some scones. Invite your friends over and have them wear their favorite fascinators. The wedding will start at 6 a,m. EST, so prepare an early morning brunch with some English breakfast tea, strawberries and cream and your best English breakfast or just crumpets.
The other option is to delay the excitement until the evening by DVRing the wedding and changing the game. Fry up some fish and chips or bake a shepherd’s pie and bring out the full bar. There are so many ways to complement an evening party. Have a cake-baking contest to see who can make the best creation inspired by the happy couple, or make a British Monarchy drinking game happen with one, or several, appropriately themed Sporcle Quizzes as your guide. If you want to take it to the limit, you can even throw in the Suits wedding episode as a warm-up.

Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
