COCKTAIL PARTY GUIDE

The 'COCKTAIL PARTY GUIDE' is a resource produced by WWF South Africa to help supporters host fundraising events for 'Wear it Wild', an annual event aimed at raising money and awareness to protect iconic species such as tigers, elephants, and rhinos.

• The guide provides a variety of animal-themed party games to increase engagement and fundraising, suggesting that hosts encourage guests to 'give a donation to enter' or 'donate a forfeit'. Examples include 'White elephant' gift exchanges, a 'Who am I?' guessing game, and a 'Canapé contest'.
• To simplify costume choices for guests, the guide suggests several themes: 'A marvellous menagerie' (sophisticated animals), 'A classic collection' (giant pandas), 'Adopt a country' (animals from a specific nation), 'Threatened with extinction' (endangered species), 'A random act' (assigned animals), and 'Just one animal' (everyone dresses as the same species).
• WWF specifies a strict ethical requirement for costumes, stating that any animal costume used for the event must not feature real fur, instructing users to 'Only ever use fake fur and try to recycle clothes for costumes as much as possible'.
• The document includes specific recipes for themed food and drinks, such as 'PANDA CROSTINIS' (serving 12), 'TROPICAL COCONUT PRAWNS' (serving 20), 'THE BLUE WHALE' cocktail (making 12), and a 'TURTLEY REFRESHING MOCKTAIL'.
• WWF South Africa provides digital resources via their website to support event organizers, including fundraising guides, face painting guides, personalisable event posters, bunting, animal mask templates, and fact sheets on endangered animals.
• The guide encourages a low-barrier fundraising goal, suggesting that if every adult or child raised just 'R10', it would contribute to the goal of creating a future where people and nature thrive together.
