How do you throw the perfect party? We’re glad you asked! Check out our top 20 tips on how to make your shindig shine.
- Pick a theme and go all in. Think of all the senses—sound sight, smell and flavor.
- Send invitations online. And watch the RSVPs roll in.
- Designate recycling and trash bins. Save the planet one bottle or can at a time.
- Welcome your guests. Greet guests at the door and introduce them to at least one other guest.
- Don’t forget the ice! Ask your checker to ring up a bag!
- Save the cleaning for after the party. Your guests might think the party is over, when actually, it’s just getting started.
- Have a guestbook. Include a fun prompt or question for your guests to answer.
- Make sure your bathroom has clean hand towels. Your bath towel will thank you!
- Create a fancy drink menu. Include a signature drink special for your party.
- The host makes the first drink. Then guests can serve themselves.
- Have non-alcoholic beverage options. Designated drivers deserve delicious drinks, too.
- Grab a Lyft for guests who need a ride. Safety first!
- Set up a kids’ table. Activities like coloring or decorating cookies are great ways to keep younger guests entertained.
- Be a master gingerbread baker/builder. Stock up on fun and festive candies to make your creation a masterpiece.
- Have leftover containers available. Send guests home with extra food (and ice if they live far away).
- Cater to your guests. Make sure you have food options suitable for everyone on your guest list.
- Keep food out of reach of children and pets. Don’t let small fingers or paws get the goods before it’s time to eat!
- Decorate the Table. Flowers, candles or table runners add an elegant touch.
- Tie a bottle opener to the cooler. It’s convenient for your guests and will keep it from getting lost.
- Prepare a music playlist. Or use one of ours! Simply search nuggetmarkets on Spotify for all sorts of sweet tunes and party playlists.
