How to Throw Good House Parties
Find the Right Mix of Food & Fun Activities to Satisfy Everybody
Oct 26, 2009
There are many more pros than cons when it comes to hosting house parties. A domestic party venue allows for triple the number of party guests at a lesser cost, compared to a fancy sit-down restaurant for 20 people. What is more, party guests will not need to fork out corkage charges for any extra bottle of bubbly they bring.
More Chefs for More Varieties of Food
This is yet another advantage for hosting a house party. Encourage guests to join in a potluck gathering, where their differing appetites will contribute to a mouth-watering buffet large enough to cater to a small army platoon! A potluck gathering also saves preparation time and money. Be sure to get guests to RSVP with their attendance, as well as the dish they will be bringing so that duplicated dishes are avoided. Also ensure that there are finger foods to snack on so that guests can mingle around the party freely.
Happy Times with Sing-Along Sessions
Singing is a harmonious activity that instantly creates a lively atmosphere for other guests to join in. Try home karaoke at anytime, anywhere, where thousands of song selections can be downloaded into an advanced microchip system inside a wireless microphone. Each guest will be yearning for their turn at the mike; whereas others will be pleased to just hum along to their favourites tunes!
Crowd Pleasing Games for the Young & Old
Bring back the sweet old memories and connect with the children at the same time with classic childhood games that are suitable for party goers of all ages to participate in.
- make a piñata solely for the adults to play with that contains liquor chocolates and condoms.
- childhood games and play the limbo rock, hopscotch, two or three-legged race and also musical statues!
- This idea never fails to elicit laughter from all the party guests: the never-ending story. Start with a traditional “once upon a time there was a…” and randomly point at the next child or adult to continue the story! The story just gets more ridiculous by the minute as it gets told.
To get the party going smoothly, ensure that food is sufficiently catered to the young ones as well as the adults. Finger foods are great for snacking in between drinks and friendly banter. Think up fun activities like singing, musical statues and such that will encourage the whole crowd to join in. all the guests will remember great times at the party and be clamouring for invites to the next!
