Parties: they’re exciting to look forward to and fun to attend. However, big events –like weddings, bat mitzvahs, and corporate events– can be stressful to plan. There are so many things to think about: you need a venue, food, music, and entertainment. Keep reading to learn how to you can throw the best party ever!

Plan Ahead

Whether it’s a big party, like a wedding, or a smaller gathering, like a birthday party, for a perfect celebration, you need to plan ahead. Planning ahead allows you to make a reservation for your venue; it also gives your guests some time to plan ahead so they can take off work if needed. When you give your guests time to put it into their calendar, more of them will be able to come!

Moreover, planning ahead takes some of the stress away from the big event. By not procrastinating, you can thoughtfully take care of the below party essentials.

Think About the Venue

The venue is an important part of your party’s success. It comes down to 4 qualities: Proximity to guests, budget, size, and overall vibe.

You want to make sure your venue isn’t too far from your guests. No one wants to drive (or Uber) an hour away to go to a party. For destination weddings, your guests are probably already staying in a hotel, so make sure the venue is close to the hotel.

Your venue should also fit your budget. If you also want to hire live entertainment and a 5-star caterer, an expensive venue might not be in the cards. The venue should also accommodate everything you want during the event. Things like a large dance floor, a stage, and multiple rooms are factors to consider.

Good Food = Happy Guests

Probably one of the most important components of a party is the food. Your guests need good food often. No one wants to dance on an empty stomach. You should plan on a few options for the meal–possibly a chicken, fish, beef, and vegan option–as well as multiple small appetizers to snack on. And of course, we all need something a little sweet after a savory meal. Try having a big cake or a few bite-sized desserts.

Pump Up The Music

If you want to dance, you need music! You have quite a few options when it comes to music. You can have a deejay that plays all the party favorites OR you can hire a live band to fill the venue with live sound. You can also hire solo musicians to add flare to your party. Better yet, you can combine the above options for a truly unique experience.
