It is almost the end of the semester, and this week is my
hell week! If you are wondering why it is my hell week, well, I have 3 exams
and a project due this week. But I can’t want until this week ends, because!
This Sunday will be my sorority’s formal! Actually, I have been preparing for
this formal since the beginning of this semester! The reason I wanted Social
Chair (takes care of formal and other events) is a lot of the people that I
care a lot in the sorority are graduating! The last thing that I can do for
them before they step into the next stage of life is to give them an
unforgettable formal! I want them to enjoy this formal dinner as never ever
before! On top of that, our sisters from UTSA (The University of Texas at San
Antonio) are coming! We are going to have a joined formal! After all, the more,
the merrier!
Formal will be at Estancia
Yummy
A lot of meat, yum
Since it is a joined formal, we have to keep all our
traditions. In order to make it funnier, this semester we are going to give out
gag awards! We used to always have the same nice, inspiring and generic awards!
This semester, after some struggle, we can finally do gag awards! To know what
award to give out, I created a Google survey so that everyone can pitch in!
They can name a sister, name the award and explain why she deserves the award.
I was actually having a lot of fun while reading the entries. Apparently, one
nominated me as “Miss 3rd Wheel.” If you wonder why I got this
award, well it is because I always thirdwheel my friends. Most of my closest
friends are dating! So, whenever my friends want to hangout, it is always
hanging out with my friends plus one (her/his boy/girlfriend).
Because of the secured budget we have for formal, I have
come up with some affordable and creative ideas. For the centerpieces, I am
planning to use some mason jars, decorate them and put some flowers or candle
in it. I got inspired when I was surfing on Pinterest. For the newly crossed
girls (new addition to the sorority), I am planning to hang their names on the
back of the seat as “newly crossed” and in smaller letters “meet me.” And for
the seats name tag for the other girls and her dates, I am planning to have
chocolates with toothpicks on it to show their names. At first, I planned to
bake cupcakes, but since I have so many exams and tests, I decided to use
chocolates. Guests can eat the chocolate if they feel hungry! But usually
people take them to go and a “souvenir.”
This is so cute
If time permits, I have planned to hide a mini gift below
every table. We (me and another girl that is going to MC with me) are going to
announce the winner by the middle of the event. I am planning to stick the
“winner” sticker under the chair. If time permits and formal gets too boring, I
will have some games ready. We will have the traditional guess the word game.
People who want to play will couple up, one mimic the word and the other will
need to guess.
The tables will be white
I have been planning this formal for a while, I hope they
will like it. For the next blog, I will update y’all with more information
about how did the formal go! Here I have attached a video of how Estancia is.
