First steps part 2

[Pharothan]

I am running Part 2 for several tables of new PFS players next month, and I was wondering if anyone had ever mocked up the invitations to the Tian festival before. I think having a physical prop might add some color. If not anyone have some suggested text for it?
Thanks.

I have never written out the invitations, but I imagine that they would be rolled up as scrolls to give an Asian feel. Backing your selected stationary with a piece of red (or any other color, really) paper would produce some nice contrast.

Here's a draft:

Honored Guests and Pathfinders,

This evening commemorates Empress Yin's arrival in Goka, intent on annexing the city and imprisoning its inspired founder, Xhai Xen Xiao, for the audacity of building so beautiful a city outside of the Empire's borders. Instead, so charmed was she by the City of Wonders that she granted Goka its independence so as to be an inspiration for generations to come.

I invite you to join in observing this momentous anniversary of 1,886 years, for which we shall serve as many glasses of Goka's plum wine and ignite as many fireworks in its honor. Refreshments, food, and entertainment shall be provided to dazzle and entrance the senses.

It would be my pleasure to meet you in person at the event.

Kindest Regards,
Amara Li

P.S. Please observe a semi-formal dress code.
