The advantage of a party is to create a festive atmosphere and an opportunity to mingle with your loved ones. However, for many, the home holiday turns into ordinary gatherings with beer and football for men and tea and cake for women. To prevent this from happening, you need to prepare for this event in advance.
Instructions
Step 1
Create a party style for the occasion. For example, if you are tired of the autumn blues and miss the sea, make a party "On the Beach", "In Haiti", "On a Wild Island", "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Step 2
Decorate the interior according to the idea. If this is an island, arrange pots with vegetation, decorate the apartment with exotic flowers (made of fabric, paper), shells and starfish, pearls, seaweed. Use the colors of the ocean, sand, and wildlife to decorate your home and table. Also prepare music and scented oils or candles for a theme night.
Step 3
Prepare dishes to match the party or decorate your signature recipes with the theme of the holiday. For example, at a beach party, fish dishes, Japanese cuisine and even sandwiches, vegetables, fruits look harmoniously, like for a picnic.
Step 4
Be sure to think over the place and decoration of the table. For example, a house party “On the Beach” can take place in a small circle of friends in the form of a picnic on the floor, and with a large number of people, tables can stand like a buffet along the walls in the form of trees and stones or in the middle of the room in the form of an abandoned ship.
Step 5
Inform guests to bring appropriate suits. So, swimwear, costumes of pirates, inhabitants of the underwater world are welcome in a nautical style.
Step 6
Create contests, toasts in accordance with the theme of the evening and taking into account the space. If there are a lot of active contests, it is better to put tables along the walls, as at a buffet table, if there are more quiet ones, the table can be in the middle of the room. For example, at a sea party, you can guess themed riddles, rebuses, charades; draw with closed eyes a sea inhabitant; depict the dance of mermaids or islanders; create sea face painting; play "The Sea Worries Once" or have a pirate pillow fight.
Step 7
It is not necessary to invent everything yourself, you can distribute assignments for guests, where everyone comes with a toast, poetry, competition and even a dish on a given topic. But in this case, you need to be 100% confident in the performance and commitment of the person, otherwise the party may be ruined.
Step 8
A home party will be 100% successful if the environment, dishes, costumes, contests are in harmony with each other and help to plunge into the given atmosphere, but at the same time the host of the holiday, like a professional toastmaster, must maintain the cheerful mood of the guests present.
