Dear esteemed guest,
You have been invited to the annual Courtly Masquerade. Please note that this ball is strictly clandestine, and this invitation is for your eyes, and your eyes only. Transportation will be arranged via carriage, and you will find yourself at the Arcane Manor at the stroke of midnight. We will have you know that the contents of this invitation can only be seen by you, and if shown to anyone else, you will find yourself in an immensely humiliating situation. Please refrain from doing so to keep your pride intact. If you would like to join in on the fun tonight, do remember to light this parchment of paper with a candle. And if you, very unfortunately, would not like to take part in this ball, simply place this in a tub of water. Ladies, don your best gowns, and gentleman, your best suits. Please do not forget your masks. We shall see you at the masquerade.
Sincerely,
The Hosts

A story about a commoner putting her nose where it shouldn't have been...
Every full moon a masquerade ball is thrown. The most important people attended. But the next day nobody would have any memory of the ball. Until one girl decided to break those rules to find out the truth.
