We had hoped to have a full-on Maid Café for Ohayocon,
but due to circumstances regarding hotel service rules we were
unable to do so. The wonderful staff at Ohayocon allowed us
instead to have an hour of time to promote the café to
other cons: Thus the concept of the Maid Party was born! This
Paid Party is an alternative to the Café in situations
were we are not able to provide food service. So instead we
served various teas, and played ‘Otaku Pictionary’
(created just for the Maid Party!) for Japanese themed food
prizes!
The event came together at the very last minute as the Ohayocon
staff were made to wait right up to a week before the con
to hear the final desicion on whether or not it would be possible
to have the Café at all. Despite the fact that we had
so little time for planning the event went extremely well
and was a whole lot of fun! We had a full room of people,
and a lot of laughs playing Otaku Pictionary!
We hope to flesh out the Maid Party for future events to
include more games and focus more on individual attention
to the guests by having more cute girls and guys on staff
to pass out tea and chit-chat!
After the Maid Party was over the maid staff had a lot of
fun running around and hamming it up during our first Maid
Café photoshoot!
