Details for Saturday Night's Masked Ball

Chateau St Ferriol

If you have read the previous post, then we hope that you have a good idea about what to wear for the masked ball - some key words - elegance, originality, creativity, eccentricity - you get the idea!!
In this post you will find some of the more practical details and we will start with the arrival time.......

We would like all the guests to arrive between 18h and 18h30 - please no later-  this is not a rock up at 21h type of party - even though you may not be leaving till 09h the next day!!

The Ball is at the Chateau in St Ferriol -  rest assured the parking area will be well marked - with a parking attendant and then signs to the Chateau. 

We are very excited to have Clotilde from the MangeTout Catering Company, who will be serving us  wonderful canapés and nibbles followed by a traditional Meshui (slow roasted lamb) cooked on an open fire and of course desserts and all the trappings.  We would ask all of you however to bring some cheese to contribute to the cheese platter.

For the drinks, we will be providing wine and soft drinks (and some stronger stuff) but ask you to bring at least one bottle of champagne or equivalent as for some reason this liquid gold always seems to disappear very quickly!!!

We will have ice boxes at the entrance where you will be welcomed and you can leave your offerings there. We will take good care of it!

There will also a pin board, so please if you have any old or more recent photos of us, please make a copy and bring it along to share it with everyone.  
We will also have a 'love book' where we would love you to write something in it during the course of the evening.  



Many people have also been asking us about 'wedding lists' and presents.  
Eric and I talked long about this and for us the most important thing is that you are coming to share this moment with us but if you want to leave an 'envelope' in our 'love box', it will of course be put to good use (a new washing machine is really needed!)

We are expecting the party to go on for most of the night - there will be lots of surprises  - which we won't tell you about on this blog of course but be prepared to eat, dance and be merry!
