Are you planning on hosting an event for your friends and family members? Planning an event is great fun, as you know, everyone will love it, and it brings all your loved ones together under one roof. You can spend the evening catching up, playing games and forgetting about the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
When planning an event, the sooner you start putting things together, the less stressful things will become. Booking people in sooner rather than later, such as the performers for your event, means you won’t miss out on your preferred options, and sometimes advance bookings are cheaper than if you book last-minute.
To help get you started with your planning, below we have put together a guide on tips for hosting the best event for your friends.
Booking in performers for your event
We mentioned it above, try to book any performers for your event as soon as possible, as this way you get the entertainment options that you prefer (they can book up). Entertainment is going to be a key part of throwing the best event for your friends. By having performers, they can help liven up the party as well as keep your guests entertained throughout the night, especially when you have dips. There are so many different types of performers that you can book - magicians, singers, actors and more. If you ever host a cocktail party, having a live singer is perfect for this.
Organizing drinks for your event
The last thing you want is to run out of drinks. In advance, start planning your drink options and ordering what you can in advance; this way, you can make the most of any discounts. Try to have a selection, as this will keep all your guests happy: Cocktails (you could make some party mixes , wine, beers, spirits and something sparkling, so you can cheers at one point during the night. Along with having alcoholic options, it’s important you have a selection of non-alcoholic drinks for those guests who don’t drink or are having to drive to your event.
Getting your invites out for your event
A party isn’t a party if you don’t have all your friends and family members there. Try to get your invites out as soon as possible; this way, your friends and family members can get your event in the calendar and don’t risk missing out because they are busy. By getting your invites early, this is a good way to kick-start your own preparation and put some of the things you require in motion, such as booking any performers. If you have the budget, using a graphic designer to create your invitation is a good way to make it more special and exciting.
