Most everyone loves a good party. What are the tricks needed to host a good party? In real estate, they say success is “location, location, location”. In partying it’s “people, people, people.” In real estate, not everyone is located on the prime spot. And in partying, you have to make consolations for the people.
Let’s consider that you are preparing for a party of 50 or more guests. That’s a considerable sized party. Even if it is just friends and co-workers, and everyone expects to bring extras to make the party better, you have to have some control. If you aren’t hiring a party planner, you have to do these few steps to be certain that your party is terrific, and that your friends and co-workers have a wonderful time, and are safe.
Have the food professionally prepared.
With such a large number of people to feed, it is very trying to ensure food safety, and quality in a home environment. Caterers and restaurants are well suited for making large batches of delicious food and have it ready in time for your party. Additionally, see if the restaurant has a staff member that will serve and clean up. It will be well worth the cost to keep your place tidy and organized.
Hire a bartender.
Everyone considers that they are a bartender. Even worse is when you as host allow your friends to tend bar. Who sets limits? Do you have any idea what the financial and not to mention the mental cost of allowing someone to over drink and then get involved in a collision? A hired bartender can keep this under control and assure your guests have quality drinks.
Hire a dj/kj for dancing or singing.
A karaoke host in control of the music will make sure the music hog that wants to play or sing only their kind of music won’t ruin your party for the other guests.
Have professional entertainment
A magician, mentalist, psychic, fortune teller, black jack dealer or any of a number of entertainment choices will make sure your guests can have a special time and share with the other guests. Don’t go overboard, though. One entertainer with the appropriate music entertainment should be sufficient.
