Masquerade Ball?

Masquerade Ball for Charity?

• Hey everyone..I've had this idea in my head for about 3 years now to plan a masquerade ball benefiting the CCFA (Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America) in my neighborhood and now that our junior prom is masquerade themed this year..i have the confidence to pull it off. Anyway..I need tips. My dream is to have a traditional ball..women wear gowns, men wear tuxes, finger food, open bar, masks off at twelve, out by twelve thirty..all in a room covered in lights and draped in fabric BUT..I have to think realistically..this would be for high school students in the surrounding area. and out of my own pocket. getting music together and advertising the event would be fairly easy and cheap however i know if i want a cheap place to hold the location..i'd turn to my local Y...which really isn't the proper esthetic at all..I live in the suburbs of philly so if anyone knows a reasonable place then let me know! but back to the big picture..how do i make it seem so appealing to get people to want to come? granted coming would mean they'd probably have to spend a bit so I have to make it seem really appealing..and also..any tips on how to generally make it seem classier on a budget? and...do you think it'll be okay to throw the dance in say..the fall/winter when our jr. prom is saturday? in other words..do you think people will still want to come when they just attended something with the same theme?

• Answer:

  This sounds rather expensive i would rather go for a 60s theme it will be much cheaper as you only need a disoc ball
