Some Cool House Party Ideas
We understand you. You have just started with your studies and you receive dozens of invitations to house parties: some of them promising while the others not. You know you could do better. And now you want to set your party at that insurmountable level of fun that nobody can match. You also realize that the balance of your account is overstretched with all kind of expenses you ought to meet. Is there any way you can manage it all? Sure, you can if you plan it properly.
How to Throw a Great Party
- Invite your neighbors
Do you want to throw a big house party? If yes, then think again. The house party should be ultimately a cozy social gathering. After all, compiling a list of people who enjoy each other’s company is not as difficult as might appear at first glance. Consider extending invitations to your neighbors. Even though they might be utterly different, tell them you’d love to enjoy with them your little shindig and see what happens. It’s one perfect occasion to get to know those people you have around and lay sound grounds for your mutually peaceful coexistence.
- Ensure food supply, especially for a big house party
Even though people expect to have food at parties, be mindful about the variety of choice. Are there any vegans? Are you sure your guests will not empty your fridge? What about booze and those people who don’t like it? Equal opportunities should be your goal to make it comfortable for different tastes and likings. Remember, there’s always one picky eater or wine connoisseur in a group. You don’t want to hear them whine, so better think about food and drinks for them well in advance!
- Some useful tricks for your party organization
Although it might sound funny, use some tricks to save your energy and nerves. House parties are expected to be the “word-of-mouth” engagements, so avoid sending your invitations via Facebook or Google Groups options. Tell your time-conscious pals the exact time while off-set the timing for those who tend to be late depending on their lateness habits. This little trick will help you keep a steady flow of guests.
- Lock your roommates’ doors
You cannot dedicate equal time to all your guests. You don’t know what you can expect at the end of the party and you don’t entertain the idea of being responsible for the damage your guests might do to your roommates’ belongings. You’re better off when you keep all of your guests in one area if you don’t want them to be sweating on your bed sheets or, still worse, end up cleaning somebody’s vomit on your roommate’s bed.
- More points to consider for a good party organization
Prepare an appropriate play list. Invite those people that you know well a bit earlier to ensure the smooth beginning of the party. Think about how and when you want to see the ending of the party. Try to stay sober.
