If you are the kind of fun-lover who enjoys going to parties but not throwing them then it is time that you found out the secrets to not stressing out while you organize your own. With a few tricks up your sleeve, there is no need to panic.
So, if you have been persuaded that a big party if necessary and you just need to suck it up, here is the information you need.
Hire a Venue
Hiring a venue is the first thing you can do to guarantee your success. Get one with a bar, ask them to put on food and even get them to hire a DJ for you if you can’t be bothered to sort it yourself (although you should really see Party Dj Hire Sydney to get what you actually want).
The main benefits of a venue, though, is that they will do all the cleanup later, they will have a carpark and there will be much more space than in your home. The disadvantage is that you will have to pay for this luxury although there are a lot of advantages to weight against this one con.
Food
Your venue doesn’t do food? No worries. Party food is and should be easy to put on and easy to eat. Unless you are hosting a posh sit-down dinner, there is no need to spend a fortune. The party favourites are favourites for a reason: they are inexpensive, finger-sized and suitable for everyone.
Think along the lines of sausage rolls, mini sandwiches (make them normal sized and cut into 4 triangles), biscuits, mini muffins – you know the drill. Buy it all ready-done at the supermarket, arrange on disposable platters and cover with cling wrap ready to put out later on. Easy as pie.
Buy Your Decorations
There are a lot of decorations that are easy to make such as bunting or paper pompoms but if you are short on time and not feeling especially creative, there are lots of decorations you can just buy. In fact, lots of stores do full ranges of products so that you can create a theme instantly and without much effort.
Fairy lights are another instant joy and they can be used to create an intimate little area or to bring sparkly fun to the dancefloor. Plus, you can put the lights up in your home once the party is over and enjoy them all year round.
Invite Everyone on Facebook
Okay, slightly misleading title – don’t invite everyone you know on Facebook, just create an event and invite all your guests online. This is kind of an obvious one, especially if you are millennial or younger, but somehow doesn’t occur to some people.
A Facebook event is easier to keep track of than a million and one invitations and RSVPs as it is instant, online and clear for everyone to see. Just make your event private to avoid it going viral and click to invite. Sit back and watch your RSVPs roll in. You’ve got this.
