This article is about how to plan the perfect Valentine's Dance.  I actually really like all of the different aspects it includes and things to consider when planning, however it is targeted to schools, so the location isn't discussed because it is assumed to be held somewhere in the school.

As a Cultural Anthropologist I really appreciated the social aspects that are covered in this article, such as making sure  no one feels left out and warning to stay away from specific groups in the name of the event. However it doesn't cover anything in regards to catering or how to book music and entertainment.  It gives examples of different activities that can be included but the only physical or non-conceptual planning that is mentioned is about saving money ahead of time. 

However this article: https://www.eventbrite.com/blog/host-successful-valentines-day-ds00/

does the exact opposite. It covers the physical and practical side of planning an event such as catering,marketing, and money handling, but mostly ignores the sociocultural aspect. It does however give different suggestions on what to do to attract a focus group.
