A Short Masquerade Welcome Before Dinner

This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.

A take-home identity card

Planning process

The organizer enters the one-hour limit and uses four example identities for willing participants. The host keeps introductions brief, omits a long dance interval and gives a voluntary story reveal before directing everyone to dinner.

Result explanation

The five-phase outline ends at 18:00, so movement to the meal and any cleanup must be added or protected in a refined schedule. The name “prelude” is supported by the actual short format.

Alternative

Distribute cards at dinner tables if a separate welcome area would create an unnecessary transition.

Execution notes

Tell guests the dinner start time in plain language. Do not make costume preparation a hidden requirement of arriving for the meal.
