ORGANISE AND HOST YOUR PARTY IN 4 EASY STEPS!
STEP 1
Register to download your own special invitations and get ideas on how to fundraise.

- Vicar
STEP 3
Start planning your BIG I DO REDO Party. Remember the buzz you got from planning your own wedding? It's a great chance to bring friends and family together again to celebrate love, friendship and, let's face it, to have a jolly good party. Here is a preview of some fundraising ideas from your registration pack:
- Charge your guests for a 'fun' vow renewal ceremony and arrange for someone to perform it (anyone feel like dressing up as Elvis?).
- Make and sell some yummy cocktails and impressive canapés for your guests to enjoy (special recipes included in your registration pack).
- Have somebody take on the role as official wedding photographer. Your guests can buy their pictures! You can share your photos with us, too, on the official BIG I DO REDO™ Facebook site. Everyone who uploads their party pictures will automatically be entered into our competition to win a London-based I DO REDO™ shoot with Julia Boggio Photography.
- Organise some fun games for your guests and have prizes!
These are just some ideas (there are loads more in the registration pack you will receive after registering). If you want to keep it simple, you could just charge a standard price for your guests to come to your party or they could just simply make a donation.
STEP 4
Collect the money in from your guests and send your donation by cheque to either Macmillan Cancer Support or Pancreatic Cancer UK. The details are in your party pack.
