Every host wishes to throw a good party which should be remembered in good words. If any mistakes happen, either it becomes a bad memory or a funny story. Planning a party for your friends or family can be daunting as it will become challenging for the host to identify where to start.
So if you are feeling under stress, we have got you covered in this blog. You will find some easy and simple ways to plan a memorable party for your friends or family.
Select your date and timeÂ
The first and foremost thing you can start with is choosing the date and time you want your event to be held. When inviting friends, you should consider many factors like their availability and no other plans for the day. Don’t narrow yourself to one date, and be flexible for other dates to ensure most of the guests are available for the event.
You can also check the availability of the venue where you want to organize your event. It is a good idea to check these factors before you decide on the final date for the party.
Ensure that your budget allows you to plan everything the way you want.Â
Choose a themeÂ
The next thing you should decide is how you want to decorate your party and what theme will suit it. If you are hosting a formal dinner with your friends, you can go with flowers. With minimal lighting and flowers, you can make your venue attractive and charming for the guest.
If you are a fan of any character, movie, or book, you can collect the decorative material way before the party.
Create a guest list
When the place, date, and theme are decided, the next step is to create the guest list. You can make an estimate of the guest you want to invite and always be flexible with the numbers, as you will never know whenever any unexpected friend shows up.
You can also expect a turnout that can be around 70- 80%. When you choose the people, you can save money on formal invitation cards and design your one digitally.
You will find many options to design your card according to your theme and choice of colors. You can share them online and ask your friends to respond to you in a timely manner.Â
Choose a menu
What are you going to serve? What will be a healthy and easy-to-serve meal at the party? Are you going to cook it or want to hire it for catering?
All of these questions keep coming into the mind of a host. For this, you can create a list of meals that can be traditional and match the theme. Depending on the number of people you are inviting, you can cook or ask the caterer for preparation.
For drinks, it will be fun if you go fancy and serve premium quality red wine to your guests. To double the fun, you can hire a bartender for open drinks or create by yourself to make the guest feel special.
