Host a party

Hosting a party can be a stressful undertaking. Will people come? Will they have fun?.
1. Give yourself plenty of time
You should start planning about 4 weeks prior to your big event
2. Enlist help
Trying to get everything done by yourself can be stressful. Delegate duties to some of your friends...they are usually happy to help out, and its a lot more fun than doing it alone!
3. Choose a theme
A theme makes planning your party much easier, and it sparks your guests enthusiasm.
4. Pick a place
If you have a friend who s house is pretty large, use it. If your house is pretty big, use it. But do not choose some public place like a park. People filter in and out, and try to join the party, random little kids walk around, its just a bad idea all around.
5. Plan more games and activities than you anticipate playing
Things do not always go exactly how you expect them to, so with a few extra games in your pocket you will be ready.
6. Spread the word
As soon as you have the core parts of the party down then start to invite your friends. But keep this in mind, balance is everything. You do not want to be able to have to shout to talk to people, but you do not want an empty house either. Make sure you are vigilant about this, if you have a pretty big house then 20 or more people is appropriate.
7. Keep the valuables away
Guys, no matter how smooth you may be, you always end up bumping into stuff, may it be paintings, vases, girls, so keep everything your parents do not want broken, in a safe, no admittance zone.
8. Set the mood
This is one of the party planning tips that some people tend to overlook. Greeting guests at the door with a smile will help them feel comfortable right away. Decorating your party location to match your theme will spark your guests' enthusiasm, and dressing in the style of your theme will get everyone talking.
9. To encourage mingling
put out less chairs than there are people. People can not mingle if they are sitting.
10. During the party be sure you get a chance to talk to everyone there
You invite people to your house to talk to them, not to make them wait.
