“I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.”

• Nancie J. Carmody

Hosting a party at your premises sounds like a fun idea to end the hectic weekend, especially when you have your friend flying back to the city for your cocktail party. The fun of such parties tenfold when you host it like a pro and bring everything on the table that brings a smile to your friends’ faces.

Whether you have just got your dream job or purchased a new home, you hosting the party should keep a check on many aspects to ensure a memorable experience for your invitees. So, let’s sail through the quick and easy preparations for your upcoming cocktail party.

Let’s get started with the cocktail party preparations –

Don’t get me WRONG here but planning for a party and being its host is a challenge. And the most challenging part is to analyze WHAT should be served and HOW MUCH to organize. When talking about cocktail parties, drinks may be the easiest thing to manage, but what about the other aspects? You need to be good at all factors to create a memorable impression.

So, let’s not wait anymore and find out what you can do to create a lasting impression.

Rule no. 1 – Be ready

Do you believe in creating an impeccable first impression? If yes, then be ready with everything before your friends approach your place. All in all, keep it in your mind that you don’t have to let them wait to ring your doorbell for long. It is embarrassing plus may not give an excellent start to the evening.

Rule no. 2 – Ensure good food quality

We understand no one loves to cook at home for the cocktail party you have organized after so long. That’s why it becomes essential for you to keep a check on the quality of food ordered. Get it from a reputed and already tried restaurant or eating point, so you don’t have to suffer the embarrassment later.

Rule no. 3 – Keep something for everyone’s taste

Many of your friends coming for the cocktail party may not find food the best thing about the party. Therefore, arrange other things like a guitar, galaxy glass pipes, a perfectly chilled glass of wine, or anything else that your friends love. These are some of the fun ways to spicing up a cocktail party and making it more fun for your friends.

Rule no. 4 – Cocktails should be a highlight.

Above all arrangements done, remember the cocktails should be the hotshot of the evening. So, ensure that you are getting the best on the table for your cluster of friends. Some of the highly preferred cocktails to get are – pina colada, mai tai, apple martini, mint julep, long island iced tea, and much more.

The last word

Organizing a party should be never-ending fun. You should sound very thoughtful when preparing your home for the same. From understanding the party’s theme to keeping everyone’s interests in your mind, there is a lot to think about and do. So, brace yourself accordingly.
