Organizing a party is something capable of giving anyone a mild anxiety attack. But prepping for your party well in advance gives you a sense of relief and calmness. Here are top 10 tips for ensuring you enjoy hosting that party:
1. Choose an affordable & convenient venue:
Setting up your party in your backyard, house or garden makes it much easier to organize and coordinate activities. It saves you the hassle of hauling party supplies like decorations, food and drinks over miles. You may want to look for reviews on gel blasters if you are planning to buy them for your party. If your place is not spacious enough, enlisting the help of a friend or relative and clearly stipulating you intend to do the setting up and cleaning afterwards could work. During favorable weather, a local park would also offer an ideal venue as it is less expensive to rent.
Planning a successful party requires careful planning and budgeting. When looking for an affordable venue, or even choosing to host it in the backyard, it can leave more money for essential party elements such as food and decorations. Preparing for decorations in advance means the day of the party will be stress-free. There are several decoration options available such as table decorations, inflatable arches, customized air dancers, and many more. An inflatable air dancer is an exciting way to bring some life and color to a party; they can be tailored to suit the color scheme of your event which helps to give a cheerful welcome at the entrance.
2. Have a simple guest-list:
Naturally, you will be guilty for leaving some people out of your guest-list. You may want to invite all your friends and relatives but note that the more guests you invite, the more expensive and hectic to manage your party. Rather, limit your number of invitations for example by inviting close friends, family and the few people you think would connect well with the other guests.
3. Keep it simple:
Make your invitations as simple as possible. For example, as opposed to handcrafting them yourself and manually sending them, an e-card would suffice. Order what you can online and have it delivered to you as opposed to travelling for miles in search of a particular item.
4. Plan the party with your kid:
If you are organizing the party for your kid, allow them to choose a theme that is within your budget. Include a classic game or create an atmosphere that looks like a carnival. You can also consider including a simple treasure hunt activity or some art activities.
5. Create a playlist or hire undiscovered talent:
Music is an essential part of any party. For your entertainment, depending on your budget, you can either choose to create a playlist from your music collection but be sure that it is appealing to the guests present. Posting a note in a local university or college may just land you an undiscovered talent who may be willing to entertain guests at your party.
Food is essential in every party but you can save some money by making one or two food items if you can and cater the rest. Prepare in advance and organize for the caterers to deliver well before the party commences.
Catering with food trucks can be a great option for large parties and here simplicity is key. Keep your menu uncomplicated and focus on one or two food items that you can prepare yourself while leaving the rest to the food trucks. By doing so, you can save money without compromising on the variety and quality of the food. It’s important to plan ahead and coordinate with the food truck operators to ensure timely delivery before the party begins.
7. Be creative about the utensils:
If this is not the only party you plan on hosting, you may want to purchase your plates, cutlery, napkins and cups in bulk to save some cash. Mix and match colors to add ambiance to your party.
8. Have a budget and follow it:
Set a limit on how much you plan on spending per item. For example if your food budget seems likely to drive you to break the bank, opt for a simple DIY food station like hot dogs or tacos bar.
9. Plan well in advance:
Planning for your party well in advance gives you ample time to shop for supplies, like these amazing LED props. We have many styles and types of light up swords. Planning in advance gives you time to work on your guest list and gather decor and menu ideas.
10. Finally, have a checklist:
Write down every task that you need to do to ensure your party is a success and tick it off one by one as you accomplish everything. Remember to complete as many tasks as possible before hand. For example set the tables, do the decorations and prepare food ahead to starting time to avoid last minute rush when the guests have already arrived.
