Wow thank you! So happy about the music (fun tidbits is for many events Vaughn has provided the music in more than one way and also the man behind Warren has appeared at all but one pilgrimage so he'd know).

I actually always play music to myself at events to help me focus, especially when they get larger, and to help.

Something I listen to often at tavern-type events

I agree with your tumblr people that it really helps to have direction for an event so either the performances like you said, a general theme to follow and activities or people available to help drive that theme. Give everyone a topic to follow, to bring ideas into, and staged people (semi-NPC) to interact with.
I think the bribery sort of works but isn't always necessary. Go big prize for big show typically; if its under 50k I'm not sure it'll draw anyone.

So for a tea room just going to throw things wildly at the wall and see what sticks. Blush

Tasting parties: 
From trying magic/aether-infused teas to see a wonderment with your mouth to special performances of merriment that are off the wall and the limits of the imagination, a spectacle of magic show and taste. Okay that one is wacky...

Food and tea from the different corners of Eorzea with matching entertainment! A taste of the culture and daily treats from the Shroud, or Sagolii desert, or the frozen reaches of Coerthas.

Nameday Celebrations: Pretty straight forward, providing food and making everyone embarrassed yet adored with toasts in their honor, singing, fireworks, and special guests. It's really easy when one person is the theme to talk about and talk to.

Go with the Season: Treats people crave at the time of year. Cold = Hot Tea, Hot = Iced Tea

Okay this is actually a dumb idea I was talking about in FC Mumble just yesterday because one of our members will host amazing slumber parties in her room (Hail Meli) that for twist to have a pretty princess tea party. Everyone dresses up in bright frilly dresses/suits (it has to be bright!) and tiaras/crowns - then the idea is to gossip and flaunt and preen and share embarrassing stories about people who aren't there, or something.

So beyond giving some direction and providing the environment people will fill in the rest. They're amazing like that and more creative than I ever imagined. Blush
