How to Host a Successful Party

Everyone loves a party but when you’re the host, making sure the event goes as planned can be stressful. Before the big day, take some time to prepare well and you’ll have a better chance of throwing a successful party.

Pick a theme for your party. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated. 1.  A loved one’s homecoming, a wedding announcement, and a block party to meet the neighbors are only a few examples of party themes.

Send out the invitations. Generally, guests should receive their invitations two weeks before the party. 2.  If a guest will be traveling a long way, the earlier they get the invitation, the better.

3.   If you’re hosting a party at home, look at your surroundings with a critical（挑剔的） eye. Put small articles away for a clean look and add some decorations to make the room more festive.

Plan your food list and shop ahead of time. 4. If you’re the host, you will need lots of advance notice of your menu and the number of guests you are expecting.

Double-check the details the night before the party. Do a quick walkthrough, starting at your front door, and make sure there’s an area for guests’ coats. 5.  Finally, count your serving plates and glasses to make sure there are enough.

A. Create the proper atmosphere.
