Arrivals & the first dinner

Any time
Come early, stay all day

The palace is yours from the moment you land. There's a heated pool, so bring a swimsuit.

9:00 pm
Dinner

Come dressed as nice or as comfortable as you want.

Landing late or missing the start? Truly no stress. There will be a plate waiting, and having you there for the weekend is what counts.

Until hopefully-not-so-late
Cocktails, a live act, a few DJs

A gentle first night, I think.

Important

Book your flights now

Fares only go up, so please book as soon as you can. Aim to land at Marrakech airport by 7 pm on Friday. That leaves enough time for immigration (which is notoriously slow), a stop at your accommodation, and the first dinner at 9 pm.

Landing later because of work or kids? Completely fine. Come when you can, there will be food waiting for you.

Your accommodation is already taken care of, and it's my gift. It's a short ride from the palace; I'll send the address closer to the date. Someone will be waiting for you at the airport, and I'll group people by arrival time so you ride together.

Closer to the event I'll send a short survey for flight details and meals attendance.

Saturday · 21 November

The big day

Important

Bring your evening clothes and your costume with you when you arrive on Saturday. You can shower and change at the palace. A round trip would make you miss part of the fun stuff that's planned.

12:00 pm
Pool and chill

Come as early as you like. Towels provided, sun hopefully too.

1:30 pm
Lunch
Afternoon
Fun stuff

Followed by a little sunset act. Then everyone goes to change into costume.

8:30 pm
Couscous dinner, in costume

Should be memorable. All about the theme ↓

Until late

The theme

Bring Your Weirdest Self

Mood board (100% serious) ↗︎

You know I love my sunflower outfit. I want this birthday to be extra silly and extra special.

Come dressed as whatever you want. Go crazy. Be a Pokémon, be a vegetable, be a cow. Be whatever brings out the best of your personality. Be whatever you wish you could always wear for one night, without looking like you were the only one. This is not the night to look good, this is the night to look fun!

Can't wait to see all of you bring out your surprise outfits!

Sunday · 22 November

Last brunch & chill at the pool

12:00 pm
Brunch

Stay the day and leave as late as you'd like. If you need to skip brunch for a flight, just tell me in the survey I'll send later so I don't count you in.

Practical

Questions

Where am I staying?

Nearby the palace, which is about 40 minutes from the airport. I'll send the address of your accommodation closer to the date.

How do I get around?

Airport taxis are organised: roughly €30 each way, split between riders. During the weekend, drivers are on call between your accommodation and the palace, and you'll have one number to text for rides.

Are you serious about the theme?

Very. Let's have fun 🫶

Can I bring a +1?

We're very tight on capacity, but talk to me and let's see what we can do.
