The Music
Blend your favourite music styles for a wonderful evening party dance. You can select classic, formal and latest music for the party.
The Dance
Prepare and practice with the 14 couples for your cotillion performance two months before the celebrations. You should prepare atleast two-three dances.
Tips

This will help reduce money spent on their accomodation, gifts nd transportation. It is not essential that you arrange for a lavish car for their transportation.
Cut down the cost by making your own invitaions. Invite your friends to help you. Moreover you can keep your guests list short in order to avoid too much confusion. Keep it simple and beautiful so that you can enjoy and have a good time with your guests.
Thank your guests for being a part of your celebration and sharing your happiness.
