Plan Your Party
Every party is important because it requires an investment of time, energy and money from
everyone concerned – not just you as the host or hostess.
The focus has to be to prepare everything in plenty of time so that you, as well as your guests, can
enjoy the event and have nothing afterward except smiles and pleasant memories.
Decide:
- Why you want to have your party. Is this one for social or business reasons or maybe you
just want to liven things up a little?
- When you will have it and where. You might want to check with those potential guests you
particularly want to attend before sending out invitations. You also have to decide if you want
to invite a large number and whether you can comfortably host them all in your home or
should you book a venue.
- Another important consideration is the times between which the party will run.
- You might have some people whose hospitality you want to repay, people who’ve moved to
the area that you want to introduce to your friends, people that you want to get to know
better and, of course, your close friends whose company you really enjoy.
Are you going to tie your party to a theme, event or the time of the year? If you do, then you’ll
need to ensure that the accessories and any related activities which you plan for your party are
ready in plenty of time.
Keep the food simple – save your creativity for those cocktails. Check whether any of your guests
have restricted diet requirements. These may be for health or religious reasons.
You’ll obviously need extra cutlery, plates, napkins and bar tools. Get them together or hire them in
advance.
Produce and deliver your invitations. For informal occasions, you can just email people but make
sure that they get the email. A significant percentage of all emails are gobbled up by spam filters or
otherwise lost in transit, so always follow up with the people that you don’t get any sort of reply
from.
Your guests need to know when, where, the theme or reason for the party, how to get to your
home or the venue, contact phone numbers, SMS and email. If they haven’t been to your home or
venue, give them a description of the front of the place and nearby landmarks – football ground,
telephone boxes etc.
Arrange a safe haven for your pets (they don’t really add to the fun of your parties, whatever your
guests have told you at previous ones.)
Do the same for your young children so you have peace of mind and can concentrate on having a
good time.
You can see that a checklist is essential. Don’t discard the list immediately the last happy guest has
left. Add anything you’ve learned about your friends' likes and dislikes (food, drink, other guests)
and habits – both good and bad – for future reference when planning your next party.
Check that the bathroom has all necessary supplies as well as the kitchen. Check your outside lights
and put them on, if it’s a night-time event to make it as easy as possible for guests to find you.
Keep a list with the phone numbers of local taxis, pizza delivery outlets and late night bottle shops
near your phone.
Fill your car’s gas tank so that, if necessary, you can give a guest a lift if their car fails to start after
the event or they are unable to drive it safely. No responsible host will let anyone leave their home
under the influence of alcohol and let them drive a car. Such hosts may even face legal action if the
guest is involved in a serious accident on their way home!
Prepare a spare room for an unexpected overnight guest, just in case.
