As the separation and anxiety associated with a global pandemic fade further into the rear-view mirror, we all have an excellent reason to be feeling social. Any time of the year is a great time to get your pals together and throw some form of shindig. However, maybe it’s time to upgrade your party from the cookie-cutter mould we find it all too easy to follow. In this article, we will take a look at five fun tips to delight your guests and ensure your party will be remembered for many years to come.
Organise a Couple of Games
As the party aficionado, people trickling in at their own pace can create a scene that’s hard to manage. Everyone wants a drink, some people want to help you out with food preparation, and everyone wants to know how you’re going. Streamline this process by having two or three games guests can get into while you take your time organising their drinks. Fan favourites like table tennis, pool, or even poker are all excellent options. Not only will they keep your guests busy while you wait for the rest to arrive, but they will facilitate discussion between guests who potentially have not met each other yet – a great way to break the ice.
Have a Funky Refreshment to Offer
Most people are creatures of habit, which is why it’s always advisable to have guests bring their own drinks for the evening. However, if you provide people with an enticing new refreshment, often they will take the leap and give it a go. This is why our second tip is to create and offer a couple of your very own funky beverages. Make sure to give them quirky and memorable names, e.g. a ‘Senior Spesh’. It’s completely up to you what goes into these refreshments, so get creative, but keeping it relatively simple will save you time and money.
Have a Designated Dance Floor
You’d be right in thinking parties and dancing already go hand in hand. However, it can often end up dispersed and uninclusive with people sticking to their friends like glue. Combat this by designating a large communal area where people can congregate for a liberal, unimpeded boogie. You should start to see guests completely loosen up as they enjoy a release of dopamine and serotonin. Consider taking this one a step further by including a microphone for people to indulge in their karaoke inclinations, while others dance the night away.
Crank up the BBQ
Now, this suggestion might not seem too revolutionary, but a couple of minor tweaks can completely revitalise this fan favourite. Keep the usual suspects (sausages) on hand, but diversify the standard BBQ menu with some unexpected cuisine. Swap out the steak for some fresh fillets of fish, prepare some tofu skewers, or lightly grill a variety of vegetables. The menu is completely up to you, but stepping away from what’s expected will always pique people’s interest and earn you some serious party-planner points.
Soak in the Spa Pool
After a few drinks, a delicious meal, and an excellent boogie, partygoers will likely be looking for an area to wind down. There is no better location than a Spa Pool to maintain that social vibe as guests slip into an unparalleled level of relaxation. Soaking in a spa pool has a range of delectable benefits, including hydrotherapy to relax your muscles, and providing a mellow cardiovascular workout while you simply enjoy the water. Your guests will leave feeling cherished, revitalised, and more than ready for your next get-together.
