The shape of it
A simple run of show
- 01
Invite
Offer examples and make teaching optional so guests do not feel put on the spot.
- 02
Rotate
Run four short sessions with breaks, seating options, and clear transitions.
- 03
Close
Collect the tips in a shared note or simple folded booklet.
Make it theirs
The detail that changes everything
Choose the skill mix around what the honoree is curious about, not what guests want to show off.
Plan B
When real life happens
Invite demonstrations rather than hands-on participation for anyone with limited energy or mobility.
