Masquerade

If you are a follower of my Instagram or my Twitter you will know that last Saturday I helped plan this years Holiday Party for my work. This year in particular was special due to it's theme, which by the title of this post you can see was a Masquerade.

It has been on my Bucket List since I was a little girl, and I first experienced the play 'Phantom of the Opera' that going to a Masquerade was a must! Earlier in the year I was looking up on how I could achieve this when I found out that Castle Loma in Toronto actually holds a Masquerade around New Years. However this was an all ages kinda thing and I just wasn't interested. Then the thought acquired to me that if I couldn't attend one then I would help organize one. So I brought the theme idea to the Social Committee and everyone liked the idea so...BAM!

All year we have been planning this and it was a huge success. Not only did people like this theme but we had the largest turn out for RSVP's ever. We had performers from Zero Gravity Circus who were walking around in costumes while people arrived, as well as a Juggler during Dinner. All the centerpieces were called for and taken at the end of the night by employees, and we also had a photographer for the evening who provided all the wonderful photos.

Granted this wasn't a mandatory Masquerade, and a lot of people didn't wear masks for the whole event, or even at all but who cares! The point is that it was a success and something our company has never done before.

Below are some pictures from the night to show off all our hard work. All photos were taken by Dennis Duong at MotionD Photography.

I am so glad I have been apart of the Social Committee at MicroAge for two years and have helped organize and plan 4 events. Its been a fun experience but with my new promotion this year I've decided that I can't handle both. So this was definitely a great way to end it.

If you have any questions about anything from the pictures above or the events in general don't hesitate to ask.
