You have been summoned to Covenstead on November 1st, 2020. A covenstead is a meeting place of a coven, or group of witches. Please let us know that you will be attending by filling out the RSVP form linked below. We will open the form on October 1st, 9:00 AM PDT / 12:00 PM EDT, and will close registrations on October 18th, 11:59PM PDT, or if seating is filled before the deadline. J-fashion dress code is encouraged but not required, as we understand that some people do not have access to their wardrobes at this time.

​

ATTENDANCE ELIGIBILTY 

Due to the limited seating of this event, we are asking that attendees submit proof of entry to our Charity Drawing by donating to Direct Relief CA Wildlife Relief, our chosen beneficiary for this event OR reposting our Wildfire Awareness post on Instagram. 

​

To register to participate in the tea party you can either:

  • Submit proof of donation of $10 USD (the organization's minimum) or more to the Direct Relief CA Wildfire Fundraiser,  our chosen beneficiary for this event. This donation will be non-transferable/non-refundable. Please note that you will be asked to select Wildfires from a drop-down menu on the site! 

OR

  • Repost our Wildfire Awareness post on Instagram, “like” the original post, tag a friend, and follow the Bay Area Kei Instagram account. This post must stay up for the duration of the event. 

Please see the Charity Drawing page for more information about our chosen charity and entry details. You will be asked to submit proof in the RSVP form. You may both donate and repost for additional entries to the contest. 

​

TEA PARTY SPOTS

We are capping this tea party at 40 participants for each time slot (80 total) to maintain a quality experience, so please do not wait until the last minute to RSVP. If reservations fill up before the deadline, you will automatically be added to the waitlist. (A separate waitlist form will be published after October 19th.)

​

DISCORD SERVER

We will be assigning attendees to chat rooms on our Event Discord Server. This allows for small groups of people to easily chat and participate in activities led by the table host. We will ask for your username in the RSVP form, so please have a Discord account before signing up. If you are unfamiliar with Discord, here is our video guide to help you best utilize it for a virtual tea party. We also have a tech guide and tea party guide available on our webpage as well as in the server.

​

AFTER SUBMITTING THE FORM

Once you submit an RSVP form, you will receive a confirmation email with specific guidelines and information. We will continue to follow up to that email address with any additional information, so please make sure the email address is correct and to check your spam folder for any missed messages.
