The Groupon Guide to: Hosting a Ball
As blistering summer gives way to blustering winter, indoor activities become all the rage—especially among high-society gown owners. Before you throw your next formal cotillion, make sure you have all the crucial ingredients necessary to literally have a ball:
• Dance Cards: All guests must have, clipped to their belts, a small card-stock chip resembling a bingo card as well as a handheld single-hole punch, like the ones used by old-timey train conductors. This will help them keep track of who is in love with whom.
• Hoop Skirts: Hoop skirts have never gone out of style, although modern bustles are no longer buttressed by ill-gotten whale baleen and ivory hippo spines. Provide eco-friendly hoop skirts to all guests in the form of helium-inflated burlap parachutes or hollowed-out mounds of Lucite-dipped hay.
• An Ice Sculpture: Preferably of the host, holding another ice sculpture of himself as a baby.
• Live Music: Though a four-piece chamber ensemble playing the greatest hits of the baroque era is traditional, you may want to consider alternatives appropriate to your theme. For instance, while hosting a Titanic-inspired costume ball, choose a band that is comfortable being slowly submerged in ice water. If it is a Halloween or New Year's Eve ball, hire a skeleton to play its own rib cage.
