[Phoebe202 1057]

The households of de Rosius residing in Petra are thrilled to announce the hosting of a Soirée and subsequent joust to celebrate the Début of one of their kin; Lady Laetetia Henrietta Rhodon de Rosius, recently-appointed Mistress of the Wardrobe to the Petran court. 

 

Guests are encouraged to dress in ‘whimsical’ attire to match the theme of the event (though not required), and dress as uniquely as possible in order to inspire creativity. The exception shall be floral details for menswear; which will be reserved for any suitors who may attend. Boutonnieres shall also be provided at the door for their convenience. 

 

Schedule

 

Arrival 

Upon their arrival, guests shall be escorted to the gardens of the estate; whereupon they shall be served cider, cocoa, and other warmed beverages to keep them warm in the chill of the winter afternoon. 

 

Dances 

In the absence of the débutante’s late father,  what is traditionally the father-daughter dance shall be reserved for Lady Laetitia and Ser Emir d’Abbassia, who has kindly offered his estate for the hosting of this soirée; and is additionally the cousin of Lady Laetitia's mother. After the first dance, suitors may dance with the débutante until it is time for the joust. 

 

Joust

A joust shall be sponsored by the Baron of Marsana, Uncle of the débutante; with the prize of Lady Laetitia's favor. Afterwards, guests shall retreat to the manor’s sitting-room, where they shall be served a light refreshment and hors d'oeuvres as they warm up by the fire. Music and games shall be provided for their entertainment; though they are encouraged to tell stories to one another and compose poems as a display of creativity.

The Knight would read the missive as he let out a soft chuckle "Ohh, we all are really getting old... This reminds me. I must make something special for every attendee and perhaps maybe secretly make an addition to the event that would surprise everyone... maybe a competition where random winners get enchanted jewelry? perhaps..."

Due to the halted construction of Ser Emir d'Abbassia's estate; the event shall instead be held at the in the gazebo behind Valfleur.
