host a party

Not everyone will want alcohol, and the designated drivers are going to need something to drink

Make sure its played loud enough to hear, but not so loud that its a distraction.

Keep the music volume at a reasonable level. If neighbors call the police to file a complaint, then its not so fun anymore.Call a cab for anyone who appears drunk and insists on driving their car. Look out for alcohol poisoning as well. If someone is sleeping and drunk stay with them or call someone to take care of them.

If you are not completely prepared and guests start pouring in, neither do you get time to finish the chores nor are you able to devote yourself completely to your guests. So, it is advisable to be prepared well before the party time. Keep at least two hours in store, after preparing your party, to get ready and for any unforeseen emergencies. Keep music ready and keep four, five random CDs in the music system, to let the music flow without your having to change it.While preparing the food, keep in mind the theme of the party as well as the overall tastes of your guests. Remember, the food should be ample and there should be a reasonable variety as well. Everyone likes food and there should be enough diversity to keep them happy. Arrange for wine and set a small bar, where people can help themselves. Seating arrangement should be perfectly arranged, to give people moving space. There should be enough chairs as well.

You may be very good party planner, but its still not advisable to keep all the work for yourself. You can get tired and be zapped of all the energy by the time your guests come. So, either hire outside help or engage your family members. Divide the labor, but keep on inspecting the work. Be gracious if any problem occurs. A party is meant for having fun, so do not let anything ruin that for you.
