Choose an Accessible Venue

With the modern technology today, all places can be found on online maps and location finders. Your guests will definitely appreciate it if they will be able to find your party place on the map. Consider also the number of guests that you will be having and check whether your party venue has ample parking space.

Dress up the Venue

Choose a party theme that is appropriate for the occasion. If you rather have an intimate party for a few people, it is best to host in your home. Make sure that your home is free of clutter to make the atmosphere serene, thereby making your guests feel more comfortable. If you are hosting the party outside of your home, it will still be better to have a hands on coordination on how the venue will look like.

Prepare the Menu

If you will be doing all the cooking, it is best to stick to a menu that tastes good on the palette, but at the same time easy to cook. On the other hand, if you will have the food catered, choose a caterer that will be able to deliver dishes appropriate for the diet preferences of your guests. Consider who are vegan or who are on a maintenance diet, and provide food options for them accordingly.

Offer Finger Foods

Appetizers or finger foods are typically part of your main menu, and these are a great pacifier while the main entrees are not yet ready. Hors d’oeuvres are also great conversation starters, especially while guests are still warming up to each other, or while waiting for other guests to arrive. If you are the one cooking, finger foods are a great way to pass the time while your dish is still on the stove or in the oven.

Set up a Mini Bar

Whether you are hosting your party in your home or in another venue, a mini bar is always a good idea to get people talking. Offer a wide variety of drinks or cocktails. Care for a pumpkin spice margarita? Oh hell yeah! There are several simple and easy-to-follow cocktail recipes online. You can also provide non-alcoholic beverages, especially for the designated drivers. Make sure that your mini bar is complete with all the accessories and paraphernalia needed for your party by getting the right tools, such as a shaker or a strainer or even a bottle opener and chiller if you will be serving wine. Prepare appropriate glasses for the drinks and have a variety of short and tall glasses.

Create a Dessert Nook

Everybody should always leave room for dessert, and a sweet treat may just do the trick to get everybody in a sweet mood. A dessert table has been a staple in every party. Set it up against a plain wall or a window with a picturesque view. Use a color hue that will complement the colors of the desserts. You can set up a chocolate fountain and accentuate it with other candies and even cupcakes or make it dainty by using ribbon or lace accents. Both the sweet treats and the eye candy will bring out the kid in every adult.

Provide Music

A party without any sound can be boring, which is why it is important to choose a playlist appropriate to your party’s theme. Ensure that there is already some music playing as soon as your first guest arrive. Apart from setting the atmosphere, the environment is more inviting with music playing in the background.

However, keep in mind that the music should not over empower your party, allowing your guests to still engage in a meaningful chit chat. If you want to try a more hands-on approach to providing party music, you could try getting a dj controller and some speakers. There are great options on Music Critic you could start with.

Convenience is the Key

Make your guests feel at home by offering ways of easy cleanup such as accessible hand wipes for their fingers after delighting themselves with the appetizers. See to it that there is toilet paper in the restroom of that hand sanitizers are within reach. If the party venue is in another location, make sure that these easy cleanup necessities are in place.

Don’t Apologize

Avoid apologizing for any flaw that you notice in the party, be it in the menu, the music, the venue. Be thankful instead. If you are about to say sorry for a dish that is still in the oven, say thank you to your guests instead as soon as they arrive and offer them some appetizers. If you are about to apologize for a crowded space, thank everyone for coming instead because the limited space indicates that everybody wanted to spend quality time with you, as well as the other guests. A grateful mindset will keep negativity away and a fun party at bay.

In conclusion, there will always be a special reason to celebrate. Make your celebrations memorable and fun by a proper planning in terms of the venue, food, and music. All that is left to do is have fun in your own party.
