6 Tips for Hosting a Grand Party
4. Focus on the arrangements
Whether it is a barbecue party in your front-yard or a pool party, a beach party or a terrace party, you have to ensure you make your guests comfortable and convenient. The last thing you should do is invite friends over for a terrace party on a sunny day and leave them waiting for ice in their drinks. It is not rocket science to figure out what is needed at what party. The party consultant can come up with ideas on what to offer for the party you are hosting. You should have an understanding with the party organizer on what will be taken care of and what you should plan for.
5. Have a creative approach towards decorations
The decorations shouldn’t be gaudy. At the same time, it should be noticeable. You must pick the right carpets, curtains, pillow covers and wall hangings, if you are holding the party in your house. For a party outdoors, event management companies can help you create the right décor, whether you prefer simple black and white patterns, floral look, soothing aqua look or a glitzy disco look. From shiny disco balls to ornate ribbons, festoons and sheer curtains, party organizers can always provide what you need.
6. Be particular about the food and drinks section
No party can be called grand without the right food or drink. Make sure you have the right amount of beverages and the right variety. Depending on your list and your budget, you have to decide how much of what beverage is needed. Make sure you have enough ice, fruit juices, mocktails and soft drinks as well to go with the alcoholic beverages. You have to sign up on the menu at least a week in advance depending on the season. Pick a good caterer who can offer variety in terms of vegan and non-vegan dishes. Leave some room for the exotic, especially if it is a grand wedding or office party. Have enough options at hand and more importantly make sure there is trained staff to wait on the tables or at the buffet counter. You need trained hands to man the bar as well especially for office parties.
