Sample Host Club Event Planning
For the host club event I have two separate ideas and will leave up by vote as to which we do. I will post the final decision and details, as well as the log, on Wednesday or Thursday of this next week so that it can get underway prior to Valentine's Day and will hopefully not drag on quite as long as the Halloween log did.
The choice comes between two separate themes, Paris By Night Valentine's Day or Elegant Victorian Valentine. The details for each are included below. Both would take place mid-day somewhere between noon and two.
Paris by Night Valentine's Day
Location of the party: Hotel ball room or Host club room.
Color scheme: Red, white and blue, the colors of the French Tricolor flag.
Decorations: Tables will be set with a white linen tablecloth. A glass vase filled with roses and a votive candle with an Eiffel Tower motif gracing them. There will also be a cake with snowy white frosting is topped with an Eiffel Tower. A sparkling champagne sparkling grape juice fountain sends up sprays of champagne. There will be a separate champagne fountain for those guests who are of age. Red hearts decorate the ceiling and walls, and chocolate red-foiled hearts mark each guest's place setting. French-style coffee cups (the kind that are shaped like a large tea cup) stand ready to be filled with a frothy latté or instant coffee. White lights line the tops of walls.
Entertainment: Sound of a violinist playing traditional Parisian street serenades. As well as a Tamaki possibly playing similar pieces on the piano. Yes Otosan it is something that only you can do.
"Motto" of the party: "Paris is for lovers"
Suggested Menu:
Elegant Victorian Valentine's Day
Location of the party: Hotel ball room or Host club room.
Color scheme: white, pink, floral
Decorations: The room will be decorated with fresh baskets of flowers, interlaced with lost of pink and yellow. Dried flower wreaths will decorate the walls. Antiques acquired from various shops will be placed throughout the room and on tables. Ming china vases, and English furniture will be used to welcome guests adding a nostalgic feel to the place. Purple velvet slipcovers will go over the chairs and a sofa will be tucked off to the side of the room. There will also be lace curtains, and lace tablecloths matching the look of th lamps. In place of the usual cups and elegant tea set of porcelain with find silver ware will be set out on the tables. To further add to the atmosphere artificial ivy will be hung on the sides of doorways and running up supports and a soft scent of potpourri containing rose petals will provide a faint aroma throughout the room.
Costumes: Victorian costumes
"Motto" of the party: "Have a very happy St. Valentine's Day!"
Suggested Menu:
As for the exact details of what each individual host will be doing to entertain guests, I leave that up to their respective muns. However, if there is anything that I have missed please let me know.
Until the next.
