Who doesn't love to go to a party? Now who loves to throw a party? Yes - sometimes being the 'hostess with the mostess' can be a little intimidating. Hopefully these few tips will help you consider the major factors of hosting a party so you'll be more prepared.
·
Theme
o
You need a general theme for your party. It can
be an easy broad theme or you can make it specific. For sake of this post we’ll
do Halloween!
·
Food
o
This one is my favorite!! I like to eat – a lot.
You can stick with the theme of the party or just have regular food. You do want to make sure you follow the rule
of thumb for food. Always have a fruit, a veggie, something savory, salty, and
sweet.
·
Decorations
o
This can be simple or extravagant, but you have
to have something. If you’re going the simple route go get an orange plastic
tablecloth, black plates and napkins and orange cups. Simple and theme
appropriate!
·
White noise
o
Plan to have some music on in the background (a
fun or spooky Halloween playlist, perhaps?) or maybe turn on a classic
Halloween movie with a low volume. This helps cut out the chance for any
awkward silence situations.
·
Activities
o
Are you going to have any games at your party?
If not it’s okay, but you’ll want to run through them to make sure that a) you
have everything and b) they’ll run the way you want them to.
·
Mingle
o
Make sure you mingle at your party and make your
guests feel welcome!
·
Clean up
o
The worst part! But make it easy on yourself by
using paper plates, plastic cups and so on. A few trash bags later and you’re
all done!
Do you have any party tips that I didn't cover? Let me know in the comments!
