I mean, depending on the number of people planning on going, it may just be easier to rent a few shared accomodations and party hard for 3 days straight. We say renting a hotel but that could be an unnecessary extravagance (again depending on the numbers), but it could end up just being a function suite for a night (which can be slightly more reasonably priced, depending on where it is (which is why I would avoid London because lolexpense)). EK might just be a dive, but my Mum booked a function suite for something in the region of £100-200 for a night for my 21st and it holds a ridiculous number of people (up to 70 or something).

But yeah, this is all stuff that can wait like a year to get dealt with. No harm in keeping it in mind though. :3

Basically to even get a grasp on what kind of things we'll need to do we just need an idea of where, when and how many people we are looking in the region of. But I suppose that is what this thread is all about. xD
