Best Tips to Plan a Venetian Masquerade Party
Throwing a Venetian Masquerade Party means a lot of preparation, everyone thinks they can throw parties and that is true. However, everyone can’t throw a Venetian Masquerade Ball, so here are few tips to make your masquerade party the best:
Masquerade the party guest list using
themed Venetian Carnival invitation cards
Theme your invitation card and the color should match the theme of the masquerade, the card should feature Venetian mask on.
The invitation should tell the dress code, timing and last but not least contact information about RSVP of masquerade ball.
Decorate the ballroom
Decorate the room with Venetian Carnival Posters and carnival of Venice, have some Venetian masks hanging down the wall.
Some background posters of Venetian buildings bring in some arches and gates and they can be easily available from any drama studios or sets.
As the Venetian Carnival takes place at night give a look of night cover the ceiling with black cloth put some stars on top of the cloth. Give the ball room a realistic approach.
Keep it in mind to keep the décor simple and extravagant, use from one up to three colors only for the theme since the Carnival in Venice itself isn’t multi color. As you can have red plates, glasses or napkins or even the carpeting can be done in red etc.
One thing when doing the décor should be considered is the budget.
