Royal Wedding - Street Party?

This came up because I was talking to my parents’ neighbour on the bus.
I mentioned - mostly in jest - about us having a street party for the Royal Wedding.
Now, we live in a Close - a place with only one entrance and exit. And connected by a pathway is another Close that has a mini-green.

Perfect place for a party.

I could very easily put out a tick-box response whether people would want a “street” party for the wedding. It need not affect anyone’s parking. It would not require a permit. Everyone would bring what they want and OF COURSE any alcohol would be bought and consumed by individuals.

A street party - what a great idea!
Brings to whole community together.

All I’m thinking is - what if it rains?
If I’m at the head of this will I be blamed?
Also is it more organisation than I can manage?

Should I just step back, not take up a great opportunity to create a memorable experience, especially as people in two Closes do know and acknowledge their neighbours?

I am not an ardent royalist.
This is about neighbourhood cohension. Adout 20 houses would be involved, if everyone agreed/ responded.
