ESTABLISH A THEME
1. Establishing a theme for your party will help guide the next steps of your planning. Elements of the party you want to consider are decorations, menu, signature cocktails, and party games. Our Mobile Bar Rentals will add that extra flair to your private party.
GUEST LIST
2. Create your guest list and send out invitations well in advance. You will want to consider dates that work well with the guests you plan on inviting. Although weekends sound ideal, sometimes a weeknight works better.
Sending E-invitations is a quick and seamless alternative to getting a quicker R.S.V.P in 2023.
MENU AND COCKTAILS
3. Decide on the type of food and drinks you will serve, and make sure to accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies of your guests. Having a variety of foods/appetizers will give more options for your guests. Consider making a Signature Cocktail sign so your guests know what the “Special Cocktail” of the evening will be. Create a fun name for it like “Mary’s Margueritas”
SETTING THE AMBIANCE
4. This is an important step in your planning process. Based on your theme you will want to set the mood and ambiance of the party. By choosing the appropriate lighting, music, and decorations not only will enhance the overall atmosphere of the party but will make it an evening to remember for your family and friends.
HOUSE RULES
5. Designate which areas of your home are off-limits to your guests by locking doors or tying a ribbon on a doorknob. Lock up personal items such as jewelry and breakables. Be sure your guests know which washrooms are available to them by putting a sign on the door.
UNDERSTAND YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD LAWS
6. You will want to let neighbors know that you are planning a private party especially if it going to be outdoors. If you plan to have tents check with your local by-law office. Do you need a liquor permit? Where will your guests park and for how long? What is the cutoff for noise ordinances? When these are put into place everyone can rest assured and enjoy the party!
BE A GOOD HOST
7. Lastly you want to be a great host by being attentive to your guests and making sure they are comfortable and having a good time.
By following these 7 helpful tips, you can ensure that your private party will be a success and that your guests will have a great time.
Don’t forget to take videos and photos of your party to share with your guests and cherish the memories for years to come.
PLAN AHEAD, BE ORGANIZED AND HAVE FUN!
