Are you ready to throw the ultimate cocktail party at home? Hosting a party may sound like fun and games at first, but without proper planning, your party could end up dull and lifeless. Luckily, by taking the right steps and hiring the right people, you can throw an event that your loved ones will adore.
Whether celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an excuse to have a fun night with friends and family, a well-planned party can be the perfect way to let loose and take a break from life's stressors. From choosing the right drinks to creating the perfect ambience, here are a few top tips for hosting a successful and memorable party.
Making Your Party One To Remember
When hosting any kind of event, big or small, a good plan can be the backbone for success. Planning ahead of time will help you remember all the important details and avoid reckless mistakes. Here are just a few things that can help you throw an awesome cocktail party:
Plan Your Guest List And Invitation. The first step is to plan your guest list and send out party invitations in advance so that everyone has a chance to fit your party into their schedules. Consider the size of your space as well so you can avoid overcrowding and making things awkward.
Make sure you know how many people can fit in your space comfortably and compare that to the amount of people you invite, then you can determine whether or not you’re okay with your guests bringing along additional people or not.
Have A Helper. Once you really get into planning your cocktail party, you may start to realise that it’s heaps of work for one person. Getting all the food, setting things up, decorating, coordinating with hired services and more takes quite a lot of energy and time.
So, consider working with a friend or friends to help you out. They can help you get everything sorted, get the supplies you need and be your additional set of helping hands to ensure everything gets done on time. Then, on the big day, you can celebrate your success together at your incredible party.
Set The Mood With Music And Lighting. Create the perfect ambience for your party with the right music and lighting. Determining the tone of your party beforehand will help you find the perfect playlist and lights for your event.
According to the atmosphere you’re trying to create, choose a playlist that sets the mood and encourages guests to mingle. Consider adding cool decorative elements such as string lights or lanterns to enhance the atmosphere.
Offer Delicious Appetisers And Snacks. What’s a party without food? Stock up on tasty treats so your guests have something to snack on while they enjoy your party. Consider the atmosphere of your party and use that as inspiration for your treats. A classy event may call for charcuterie boards, but a fun night may call for your favourite sweets and crisps.
Consider having an array of both sweet and savoury options that are easy to eat while mingling. Additionally, don’t forget to have options for your friends or family who may have dietary restrictions. If you’re not sure about your guest’s dietary restrictions, you may want to label snacks that contain ingredients that not everyone can eat.
For example, if you serve cookies that contain nuts, ensure they’re labelled so anyone with nut allergies can steer clear of them.
Hire Cocktail Catering Services. Of course, you can’t have a cocktail party without incredible cocktails. Take your party to the next level with cocktail catering services. Professional bartenders can handle all aspects of the bar, from mixing drinks to serving guests with flair and expertise.
Before choosing your cocktail catering company, always check out their menu and the services they provide. For example, at The Cocktail Guy, we offer four main packages: cocktail service only, cocktails on arrival and bar service, a master class so you and your guests can learn to mix cocktails yourself and the option to hire our expert mixologists for your party.
Look through your options and think about your party’s needs to determine the best choice for your event.
Consider A Cocktail Mixing Class. How can you make your cocktail party even more fun and interactive? With a cocktail mixing class, of course! As mentioned above, one of our services is a master class for cocktail mixing. Our friendly mixologists will teach you and your guests to make three delicious cocktails. Not only is this a fun experience, but it also gives you knowledge that you can use in the future.
