10 steps to a successful party

We’re all dying to organize the “party of the season”. Sadly, It doesn’t always end that way. Who says you need alcohol to keep the spirits high? Here are some simple tips to make sure that your party is a success!!

1. Stick to a theme- thats a big first step in making people remember your party.

2. Have a variety of small bites. Make bites small. Small means bite size or two bites. No one likes to hold on to huge sandwiches at a party.

3. Make sure you have different beverages – tea, coffee, 2 types of juices and soft drinks – this usually keeps everyone satisfied.

4. Don’t stick to the usual simple and plain beverages. Try a few simple mocktails and you’ll surely have everyone talking about your wonderful party where they got served amazing mocktails.

5. Prepare well in advance – but be flexible. Don’t plan too many details; you might not be able implement all that you planned.

6. If you are planning for an outdoor party, keep a tab on the weather report-  it really helps.

7. Keep a few party games prepared. When the excitement is low, introduce a game!

8. Make sure you are not doing the last minute arrangements, at the very last minute. Finish your work an hour before the party so that you have time to dress up and be at the door to meet your guests.

9. Ask a few friends in advance, to be ready to help you if you need a hand. So even if something goes wrong, you know who to call.

10. Last,  most importantly , make sure you spend enough time with everyone and forget about organizing for some time. The party is also for you to enjoy. At least while it lasts. So pick up a mocktail, and have fun!
