What do you do to make a party more fun and a great memory for your guests?

1. * Make sure that the guest list, menu, drink list, interests, and any planned activities are all well aligned.
   * Make sure that the people invited are all at least fairly compatible and likely to enjoy each other’s company.
   * Keep it small and simple. It’s a party, so it shouldn’t require an agenda and itinerary. None of the guests should be made to feel stressed or left out by anything planned.
   * If you are the host, do the hosting. It’s your responsibility to go around and help keep the social vibe positive and see if your guests need anything.

2. Colourful lights, great music, buffet, big selection of drinks, dancing the night away until the sun comes up

   When I lived in London we were known for our house parties lol. People I didn’t know but knew someone who’d attended one would be like “you’re the one with amazing house parties!! When’s the next one and can I tag along?” Lol

3. Cancel it altogether. They can undoubtedly find someplace more fun to go than any party I throw.

4. It’s called Jagermeister

5. Make dress code extremely clear

6. Decorate nice,
   Have good food and drinks,
   Make sure everyone invited at least has some similarities so they all get along OK,
   Good music

   Yard games are fun, one of my favorite Christmas parties I’ve gone to had loads of yard games like horseshoes, giant Jenga, horseshoes, etc. And a rc car obstacle course race. All with prizes for winning. Would’ve been fun without prizes still tho.

   Depending on how many people are there card and board games can be fun too.

7. Games?

8. Lots of great food, full bar, good playlist, games (we have a small arcade shed in the backyard) and overall, just having a good time ourselves. As the host I really try to make sure everyone has what they need and that I’m clearly having a good time, don’t like to appear to be stressed out even if I am. We recently had a big party for my husband’s birthday and I was really anxious about it. It turned out well! Oh – I will add, I do not allow people to bring anyone to a party at my house if I don’t know them. I have made an exception for like a friend’s new partner but that is about it. Don’t bring your friends, your cousin, whoever if I haven’t met them. A lot of negative experiences I’ve had at friend’s parties or my own is by strangers that were invited by other people. I’m not saying it’s always bad, but I don’t want anyone I don’t know at my house. To each their own.

9. We have a built in pool and jacuzzi and it’s summer 10 out of the 12 months a year in Louisiana so there’s that. Our house has always been the party house due to the layout and backyard accommodations.

10. Good music, party games like flip cup, decent amount of seating areas. Maybe even create a themed party where people can dress up
