This year we decided to have a 'grand anniversary' because it was to be our 15th! Well we wanted to do a grand one last year too... that didn't happen. After 'brainstorming', the idea of having a costume party was what we went for + the theme 'pirate' was chosen.
Once the theme was set, a lot of us began to plan this anniversary, a lot of discussions, also an event manager was required to set the mood in motion which was the Boss, who decided it should be on the 8th of May as it also coincide with birthday [conveniently coincidential!]
We started having a countdown to the 'historical' event 1 month prior! Talk about excited!
We practiced bringing in the lamb + food...
We practiced [1/2 hour at the beginning everyday!] poco-poco by studying videos on youtube + 1 staff who actually went for poco2 classes!
We had dress rehearsal to make sure all would wear 'piratey', and those who did not, would have to keep searching for the right clothing
The MC's practising their lines
The Usherer/ Gatekeeper with a gong to welcome guests
All hard at work on the decorations for that special nightFiguring out how to make a ship from the meeting table!
Constructing the treasure chest
Testing the candles
The good thing about having this Bash, most of us join in to help, and those who did not, made refreshments.
This Bob @ Reception Pirate to greet the guests. He was on loan [courtesy of Plus], so at that night, there was 1 missing on the highway!
All the hardwork + teamwork got this place looking like this... Very Proud!
And the result is.... tra-la-la [don't you just feel like you're entering a pirate's lair!!]
