Since then, I don't think anyone has still used it (despite it being in my personal room for the sake of having a physical location, it is technically located in Limsa).
So... I wasn't sure how to go about it, I guess. Mostly, I mean, I asked for opinions around the FFXIV RP community on tumblr and the general consensus I got was "have something to do instead of just leaving people to sit around and talk and fend for themselves" kind of thing.
So, I thought about maybe getting performers if they wanted to do that or something. I thought about a minion giveaway too (nothing super special I think, the prices have shot up considerably since I last tried to plan this).
So I was hoping anyone else could give ideas. I'm not sure what else to include or do. I have -never- run an event before either.
Thank you for your time.
Running an event can be tricky, especially ones that are centered around hanging out. I know the Harbingers have pretty effective tavern night, and the few that I've been able to attend were basically just groups of folks hanging out at the bar.
From the sounds of it, you want your Tea House to be a sort of RP spot, yes? Sometimes it's as easy as just putting a notice up saying "Open! This Saturday: Romantic tea and chocolates in time for Valentione's day!" and letting people show up. Maybe put up a thread in the event section asking if anyone would be interested in attending and letting it go from there?
One of the things that I really, really enjoyed from Jancis' monthly events is that she always finds really nice playlists on Youtube to help keep ambiance for the group and allow everyone to sort of chill out and listen to music.
