How to Host the Perfect Party
Choose what type of party you are
having. If it is a sit-down party, opt for a
printed invitation. If you choose to go
towards informal, an email or e-vite is
acceptable. This sets your mood and
allows your invitees to get a better idea
of what to wear to the occasion. Even
pick a theme if it makes it easier to put
together a menu and guests.
Send Out Invitations
Start preparing for the party 1-2 days prior
to the event. CLEAN! Remove ornaments
and decorations so that the space looks
and feels more open. Know what recipes
you are making and make as many of
them the day before if the food will keep
for a day. Purchasing food is completely
acceptable too, especially when it comes
to dessert. Also, make sure that there is
enough seating for everyone if it is a sit-
down. If not, provide at least one chair for
every two people, which will encourage
walking around and mingling.
Prepare
Make sure you have all the supplies
you need and even extra, including
dinnerware, cups, ice, and toilet paper.
Start getting ready so that you are
done 30-45 minutes before guests are
supposed to arrive. This will prevent
you from stressing out being caught
with a towel on your head when guests
arrive. If not a formal party, make sure
you have trash bags in a designated
area away from the guests.
Keep Preparing
Decorating the location of the party is
always something that can be done
early. If it is a formal party, select
candles and mellow music. On the day
of the party, set out drinks and
appetizers for when guests first start
arriving.
Decorate
Make sure everyone feels comfortable. The first guests experience is
the awkward time because they might or might not know each other.
Seek out shy people and introduce them to others. Have a conversation
with them so they can find something in common before leaving them
on their own. Make sure you are the social butterfly of the event.
Wander around and talk to each person so that everyone feels
important. Let your personality shine through!
