Well few days ago.a friend asked me to give her a few tips on how to live up a party! Ive come a long way, and heres how.
Whats the occasion
Christmas.birthdays.aniversaries.boss over for dinner.family gatherings.havent met for a long time, have to return a dinner; the reasons for a party can be many, each demanding a slighty different kind ofdo decide whether you want a cocktail, barbecue, sit-down or buffet before sending invitations out.
Plan an intresting guest list
A good number of people to invite is 10 to 15.You can do it in 2 ways - invite people who know each other very well(safe but can get dull) I prefer the other way - invite some regulars as well as a few new faces who youre sure will mingle well when introducing new people add a dash of intresting personal detail, lets say - meet Meera, shes got the most gorgeous collection of sixties music you ever saw. Its also a good idea to invite one person who youre sure will breathe life into the party-someone whos witty.fun.intresting.and genrate conversational spark.
Laying the table
Depending on whether youre having a buffet or doing a sit-down, the whole table scheme changes.Both can be as elegant or informal as you like.But please ensure that there are enough plates, spoons, glasses and forks to go around.A single colourful candle put in a glass holder can look very festive.You can also bunch flowers of different kinds for an informal look.
Soup to dessert
Keep vegetarians in mind always and do think of a kind of theme for your menu: Chinese.Indian.Italian.Thai or Continental.Dont experiment with a new dish, practise before-hand and get a friend to taste and comment. Dont wait forever for latecomers before serving food or youll make the others feel unimportant.
Good music
Guys.good music is very important to live a party.so that people can dance together.and have fun! remember key 4 a good party is good music.say.trance or hip-hop kinds.remixes.e.t.c
After dinner
Awful feeling when the guests want to leave right after dinner.You can turn it into the best time of the party.help your guests get into a cozy frame of mind with a liqueur or coffee nostalgic music and intimate conversation.
