We’ve all been there, either as the guest or the host, where we’ve arrived at an awful party and want nothing more but to leave. Sometimes, the issues can be out of the host’s control; other times, it can be their fault entirely.
It’s important to plan, but not over plan, your house party. It does not matter whether you’re a college student or deem yourself a fully-fledged adult; you need to ensure your guests will have an enjoyable time.
Change the Music
Music is everything at a party. Be sure that whatever gets selected is upbeat and loud enough for all to hear. If it’s not, take control and find a playlist that’ll have people feeling pleased, with the possibility of dancing. It’s awkward when you’re at a party without background noise; you feel conscious about your conversations being overheard. Therefore, use music as a way to get guests feeling comfortable.
Humor or Comedy
There’s nothing better than having a good laugh with a group of people. If the party comes to a stop and you need a way to liven up the room, pull out the humor or comedy on your phone or computer. Go online and find hilarious memes to entertain your guests with and get them laughing together. This is a great way to loosen up the group and put a smile on everyone’s face. Humor has a way of connecting people on a new level that’s fun and relaxed.
Wine or Beer Tasting
All a boring party needs is a wine or beer tasting area. Organize a small tasting to get guests talking about the different drinks and what they like best. It’ll spark up some different conversations and give people something to do as they mingle. To limit costs, you can ask your guests to bring their own favorite drink; they’ll love to share something they enjoy with their group of friends.
Get More Food
If a party is in a lull, you need to bring out or order more food. Food is always a smart way to get people feeling great and content. If your guests become hangry, your whole party will suffer. Grab a few takeaway menus and place them in the center of the room; ask them to order whatever they like. Pizza is always a firm favorite, and it can be shared among the many.
Invite More Guests
If your party is feeling like a bore, it could be the type of guests you invited or that your attendance is too small. Invite more people over and get the party going. Having the right guests will ignite the right conversations, and they’ll have fun just being together.
Board Games or Activity
If all else fails, bring out the board games or have an activity to break the ice. Not everyone has to play, but it’s a nice way to get people involved in the party and speaking to one another. There are all sorts of party games out there to choose from.
Throwing a party is a big job. It takes careful planning and coordination to make sure all goes smoothly. If things aren’t going well at first, don’t give up. These are six ways to quickly improve a bad house party and end on a good note.
