With Kate Middleton and Prince William tying the knot in just a few days, I thought it would be fun to share a few Royal Wedding inspired crafts. 

Disney's family.com is counting down to the Royal Wedding with crafts for a Royal Wedding Tea Party, and I helped design a few family-friendly projects for parents and kids who want to get in on all of the princess fun.

First up, a kid-friendly take on the British tradition of wedding fruitcake. This recipe is made using a boxed cake mix and dried cherries. Top your cupcakes with British-inspired designs made from fondant and marzipan.

Egg Hunt Placecards

 

Here's a simple way to dress up your Easter table. Create egg hunt place cards for each guest. These cards are made using card stock and scrapbook paper. Fold down the "grass" to reveal the hidden eggs (and guests' names) underneath.

Cut ovals of colorful scrapbook paper for the eggs. Glue them to the center of each place card. Cut patches of grass from green card stock and glue them in place with a small strip of glue or tape along the bottom edge. A tape runner is perfect for this. Now fold each grass patch over to make a crease, this will make it easier for guests to peek underneath.
