And What To Do When You Can’t Book A Venue?

We have all been there: you either find yourself too busy with work or some other business to forget to reserve a venue for your next biggest party. And when you hit up the closest party venues, you inevitably find that they are already booked for the day. So, what are you to do? You cannot exactly cancel the plans for your party, because everyone is looking forward to it. There is only one answer in such a situation – you have the party at your home! Whilst it might be a bit cramped, it is certainly a better idea than cancelling everything, and with a bit of planning, you can certainly pull it off. Below are some of the things you will most definitely need for that house party:

Drinks and food – the most obvious necessity for any party is definitely food. Your guests will expect you to prepare something to eat and drink whilst they attend the party, and as a good host, you should make sure to have both enough food and include varieties to meet the different needs of your guests. You might want to go with specific types of food if you are going along with specific great themes – such as Christmas and Halloween – but generally, when it comes to party food, you want to make sure that it is nothing too heavy. Finger snacks are ideal because they are easy to eat, and do not need forks, spoons or knives. Drinks should include both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties.

Music – and the other most obvious necessity of any party is music, the background tracks that make sure there is a beat to dance too and which also help you get through the early minutes of awkwardness as your guests fumble about. You will need a few good speakers around the house, or instead, you can use the audio devices with Bluetooth or wireless connections to your phone or laptop. Since you do not want to bother about bad tracks coming on every now and then, it is also a good idea to set up a playlist beforehand.

A few party decorations – since you will be throwing the party in your home, you certainly won’t have the ‘feel’ of a party unless you put some effort into decorations. You do not need to go all out with decorations – most of the time, putting the food and drinks out, adding a few lights to create an atmosphere (you don’t want it to be too bright, but soft lighting is just about ideal) and having a music playing is good enough.

Remember that the above are only basic tips; you will also need to consider more practical aspects such as how the guests will go home after the party (no driving under influence!), or how to store the drinks outside of the fridge (you will need to buy a few coolers).
