Pemberley Ball - Attendees

Welcome to the Pemberley Ball!

The servants will take your wraps and cloaks for safekeeping.

You can hear the music of several string players as you adjust your gown and hair.

A nearby party-goer appraises you of the party protocol...

Interactive posts and giveaways will appear throughout the evening (every 15 minutes). Feel free to partake in any or all of the festivities.

Comments can be reactions to the individual posts or can be a place to chit chat with other attendees and can include general descriptions of your state of being at this virtual party.

FYI: for those who RSVP'd and entered the Pride and Prejudice graphic novel giveaway, you will earn +1 points for comments made in non-giveaway posts.

Proceed into the Ballroom to mingle and dance.
