When organizing a private party, the pressure is on to make it a special event. Luckily, a few tips and tricks can help you to feel like the party planner of the year.
Set a Theme – Fancy a cocktail party, a relaxed BBQ, or a garden tea party? Having a party theme will help you to fine-tune your event planning, from choosing a suitable venue to brainstorming a delicious menu.
Support Local Communities – You'll find beautiful breweries and wineries from Giggster's 32 listings, so consider these venues as a way to support local communities and businesses in North Vancouver. And, you'll give your guests delicious beverages in the process!
Place a DIY Photo Booth in a Great Spot – If you want your guests to take amazing snaps, you should set up a photo booth with a backdrop and props. Place it in a spot where there are beautiful views, like in front of mountains, flowers in the sun-kissed garden, or striking artwork, so it's appealing to use.
Supply Enough Food – You don't want to worry that your guests won't have enough food, but you also don't want to have so much food that it goes to waste. People will generally consume about 16 ounces of food at your party, which is about three sliders or about five chicken wings, so follow that guideline.
While you're busy organizing all the party elements to make it a special event for your guests, keep an eye on your expenses! Here are some ways to lower your costs.
Have a food contest.
A clever way to host a potluck is to tell guests that you're throwing a food contest. Basically, everyone brings their favorite type of food that fits with your menu and you have a contest to see which one's the best. This is also a smart way to turn the menu into entertainment, further cutting down on costs!
Play board games.
It's nostalgic to play a round of Monopoly or Scrabble, plus it's really fun and will help you get to know your guests better. Playing board games is cheap and you can ask guests to bring their favorite games!
Research what your guests want.
Although it's your party, your guests want to feel welcome and happy. Lightly ask them what entertainment, food, or vibe they usually like at parties as this will help you to organize a bash everyone will enjoy, without overspending on things that don't appeal to them.
