Straw styling competition: Royal Wedding Street Party

I've decided to hold another straw styling challenge this year, {see last year's entrants and winners}, but to make it interesting, I am introducing a Royal Wedding party theme. I'm quite excited about the Royal Wedding {having had little interest in the couple until they got engaged} and thought this would be fun! Are any of you planning a street party?

I don't have one single idea myself, but I hope you can think of something, which doesn't have to be too complicated - perhaps just a red, white and blue theme, or a special celebration cocktail with straws?

The rules:
  • The competition is to style a photograph, using my striped paper straws.
  • You can submit two entries each, by uploading them to this Flickr group; feel free to link it to your blog in the text.
  • I will send each person 6 straws - 3 blue and 3 red. Please request straws by sending your name and address to teaforjoy@gmail.com with the subject 'straw styling.' Last date to request straws is 20th February, 2011.
  • Competition closing date is 20th March.
  • International entrants are fine.
The prize:
  • The winner will receive a £50 voucher for Papermash.
  • Two runners up will win one box of red, and one box of blue straws.
  • All entrants {who actually upload photos to Flickr, and which integrate the Royal Wedding Party theme} will receive a £5 voucher for Papermash, valid on orders over £15.

Ooh what fun! I'm not so excited about the Royal Wedding, but quite excited about a straw styling competition so I'll definitely be putting on my thinking cap! Love some of the photos from last year too :)

Is it all right to enter this year if you were in it last year? I really enjoyed the process and I like this new theme.
