So you've decided to throw a party.
Congratulations! Whether you're planning a small get-together with friends or an anniversary party for your parents, you're in charge and you have some work to do.
Throwing a party can be quite a daunting task, but don't worry! With the party planning information, guidelines and tips I'm about to give you, nothing could go wrong! So let's begin! First of all, you need to decide what kind of a party you want to throw.
Is it for a special occasion? Is it for a certain person? What time of day will be best? Where will the party be held? What kind of food will there be? Activities? Decorations? Party favors? As you can see, it is easy to become overwhelmed with all of the work at hand, but if we take it one thing at a time, the process can be easily broken down.
So first, what is the reason for the party? This will help determine everything else that needs to be taken care of.
From the guest list to the theme, venue, and food, all of it depends on the reason for celebrating.
The next thing to decide will be the size of the party.
Will this be a small, intimate gathering of friends, or a work Christmas party for 150 employees? After the reason and size is determined, everything else begins to fall in line.
Will there be a theme? Most parties do not have a theme, but when they do, it can definitely kick the fun up a notch.
It can turn things into a bit of a costume party, and challenges the attendees to be creative.
It is also a great idea because it makes people feel more involved and is a great way to break the ice! Not to mention it helps enormously when picking out decorations.
The next thing to decide is where the party will be held.
The best way to make this decision is to look for a place that fits not only the occasion and theme, but also the number of people attending.
Parks, bowling alleys, public swimming pools, community centers, and hotel ballrooms are just some suggestions.
Obviously you want to select a venue based that fits the formality of the celebration, and once this is decided, the food selection quickly follows suit.
Most public places that you may hold a party at offer catering or food of some kind or another that can be tailored to fit the party.
But if you're holding a luau, it may be more appropriate to take care of those arrangements yourself.
It all depends on the reason for celebrating.
Alright, so you've decided on guests, you know why and where you're throwing the party, what food will be there, if it will be themed or not, and even chosen decorations.
The next thing to do is decide on activities! This can often be taken care of by the venue, but if you're not holding the party at a place of public entertainment, you're going to be on your own.
A good place to start is by looking back at the theme.
For instance, if your theme is "80's rock stars" you could hold a karaoke contest.
Raffles and door prizes are always a great idea too.
People love getting stuff! However your party turns out, be sure to make it a success by following these guidelines.
If you keep things simple, and take them one step at a time, you can't go wrong! So good luck, and happy partying!
