Use the happiness of the wedding season to improve your wellbeing There's been a lot of excitement about getting married just lately, thanks to one happy couple who are due to tie the knot this April 29th. Prince William and Kate Middleton have certainly got the UK buzzing about white dresses, cakes and churches again and giving us the opportunity to celebrate as a nation.

If you remember how much fun you had at the time of the last Royal wedding - or if you don't, but want to join in with this one - then why not create your own celebrations to mark the occasion, get together with friends and family and really lift your spirits?

Councils all over the country are organising road closures and other measures in order to allow huge street parties to take place, just like they would have done in years gone by. Going along to one or organising your own garden party or barbecue could be a lovely way to get to know your neighbours, make new friends and generate some community spirit - you could even buy a new hat for the occasion, even if you can't make it to London!

Of course, while the Royal wedding is undoubtedly going to be fun, you may have your own celebration to enjoy if someone you know is tying the knot. HowTo.co.uk recommends really making the most of it by treating yourself to an outfit that will always remind you of the day when you wear it. If you can't splash out on a whole outfit, then a new set of makeup, piece of jewellery will also do the trick.

Pamper yourself with a new hairdo so you look great in the photographs and don't forget to take lots of snaps yourself. You can frame these when you get home and put them on the wall or in an album to make you smile whenever you look at them.

If the happy couple aren't family members, don't worry about not knowing anyone at the wedding. As HowTo.co.uk points out, the fact that you received an invitation shows how much you and your presence are valued, so you are sure to fit in just fine.

Ensure you mingle and talk to lots of new people - you could meet someone who has a fascinating story to tell about someone you know, or a likeminded soul who shares the same hobbies and who could become a friend for life.

Being in a beautiful setting full of people in a celebratory mood is sure to boost your wellbeing, so put on your best frock, grab your confetti and welcome the wedding season!
