Planning The Perfect Party by The Belle Blog
With the holiday season in full swing, comes plenty of parties. Although hospitality may come easy to some, for others it can be a challenge. Regardless of the event, a party in your home can be a fantastic way to get everyone together, whether it’s a cooked meal at the table or party food to pick at. If you have a gathering planned, maybe with family and friends, you’ll most likely want to be prepared. Your home needs to be ready to host as well as an effort being put in in the kitchen. 
Let’s have a look at some of the ways you can host the perfect party: 

Make A Plan 

Whether you’re a natural planner or normally just wing it, it’s a good idea to create a plan and write it down. This way you can almost guarantee that you won’t forget anything. The key to hosting a successful party is down to the planning. Create a guest list, any food requirements even down to whether your guest has any specific needs such as gluten-free, Plan a cleaning day, buy any decorations, think about decluttering, make any necessary repairs and plan your food prep. Then you can work through your list and tick off your tasks as you go along, writing down your plan also means it’s easier to delegate to others who are helping. 

Food & Drinks

You need to determine how you’ll serve food and drinks. Are you planning on catering yourself or maybe considering using a social event catering service? Food and drink interfere with the flow of your party therefore this makes it extremely important. Buffets are one of the most popular options, as people can serve themselves but there is just something nice about catching up over a sit-down meal. Of course, it’s going to depend on how many people you are catering for when you come to your ultimate decision. 

Clean Through Your Home And Declutter

When planning the perfect party, cleaning and decluttering your home will probably be one of the first things you think about doing. You may not have to clean every room, as parties tend to be restricted to certain areas of your home, so think about where people are going to use. Most common places such as the kitchen, bathroom, living room, family room, basement and dining areas tend to be used during a gathering. Hide any personal documentation, and clear any clutter. Sometimes it might be easier to get a cleaning company to deep clean after you’ve decluttered. 

The Party Area

It’s not uncommon to need to rearrange parts of your home to make it an area that is easy for people to gather and not feel crowded. You need to have a flow about the area you’re hosting so you can move between your guests and make them feel comfortable. Put coats in a cupboard and have a dedicated area for any drinks or food that they may bring. 

Your aim should be to make your home as welcoming as possible for your guests. Following these tips will help you to achieve this. Do you have any other tips that you can share in the comments area below?
