1. Give yourself enough time (if not partying at home) to make your plans, research party ideas, and secure your favorite venue.
2. Budget Set yourself a realistic budget. Prioritize where you'll find the "most bang for the buck". For example, a three-piece band will eat a large percentage of your entertainment budget and guests cannot avail of this entertainment till late at night.
3. Consider choosing the right venue, the type of party you are having (ie it will be a loud party), the number of people, easy access to guests, how much space you need, and more. Loud/noisy parties are probably the best placed. A local venue or hall. Your neighbors will appreciate it. If you choose your party at home, tell your neighbors in advance ... or invite them too!
4. Have a themed party Do you want to have a big part of what you want to achieve at your event? Do you want to interact and socialize with all your guests? Do you like to offer something different to your guests by way of entertainment? Is a memorable night important to you? Choose a topic that will appeal to the public rather than just their own particular taste. Keeping the subject broad will allow all personality types to be involved, without feeling uncomfortable (hint for help at your invitation). Then a themed party creates an event that guests will remember for a long time to come.
5. Some casino theme suggestions include - James Bond Viva Las Vegas Casino Royale 20R Speaking Gangsters & Moles .... Don't forget to include the topic on your invitation just to name a few. Guests will start talking about your event the night before. This will create a feeling of hope and enthusiasm.
6. Checklist Preparing or making a checklist, which includes dates and who is responsible for each task.
7. Delegate Share Share - Don't do it all yourself! Ask family and friends to assist in planning and tasks.
8. Use the Internet to find the resource "Free Party Budget Template", checklist, and invitations.
9. Send invitations well in advance Do not leave invitations until the last minute. Try to send invitations about 4 weeks before your party. This will ensure that friends and relatives mark the occasion in their diaries. Indicate on your invitation to assist your guests (eg dress code, parking options, BOO or not, catering provided or not, etc.)
10. RSVPs request these approx. 2 weeks before your party, so you can confirm the numbers with caterers and other suppliers.
11. Catering, depending on the format and timing of the event, ensures guests will provide food at your party. Be sure to provide a variety of food to meet all tastes and dietary needs.
12. Beverages If you are supplying beverages to your guests, make sure that there are different types of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Perhaps a theme drink to match your theme (ie you can serve cocktails/mocktails on arrival to guests).
13. If children welcome children to your party, don't forget to complete it for them too! Include items filled with gifts/activities and simple party food such as balloons, party bags to appeal to children's tastes.
14. Music Carefully select and play music during your party. Select music that will cater to all tastes. The music is best played in the 'background'. People still want to be able to talk to each other without shouting. Don't forget to turn off the music during any speech.
15. Entertainment Ensure that all entertainment complements your theme and does not compete against each other.
16. Final details Reconfirm the final details with all outside suppliers (eg DJs, caterers, entertainers, venues, etc.).
17. Early Shopping Make sure you shop for your party early; However, stop buying perishables the day before or until the day of the party. Place large orders quickly with suppliers (perhaps they can arrange home delivery). If self-catering prepare as much food as you can in advance.
18. Prepare your home Remove furniture from party areas to allow guests to move around easily and safely.
19. Atmosphere Create an atmosphere to set the mood for your party - tea lights, red carpet, balloons, moving lights, and more.
20. Mingle among your guests. If all the guests do not know each other, then take the time to introduce the guests to the people who have common interests.
21. Have fun! While it is important that your guests have fun, don't forget to enjoy your party!
