The New Year is going to ring in less than two days now! If you have no plans, the best thing you can do is host a house party. I mean, why not enjoy and welcome the new year in the comfort of your own home with a bunch of loved ones and some delicious food? To top it off, you can add entertainment too. If you are throwing a house party for the first time, here are some tips to make it perfect.
Tips For A Perfect House Party
1. Decorate Your House
Well, I know it’s not a mandate, but it’s better to move the furniture and make space for the party rather than let it be. You can add some good lighting effects to the room and transform your house into a legit party place. Trust me, good lighting and enough floor space will surely set the vibe for the party, and your guests will love it.
2. Inform Your Neighbours
I know this doesn’t look like a quintessential tip, but trust me, it is. Before you begin your house party, make sure you give your neighbours advance notice. Make it a point to inform them that the party will last until late at night. This will not shock them or fill them with rage if the volume of the music from your house goes a little too high suddenly.
3. Create A Good Playlist
Use the internet or the assistance of a party animal friend, but make sure you have a good party playlist on hand. I mean, imagine you are in the party mood and so are your guests, but you have to scroll and find the right music. Such a turn-off, right? So to avoid such a situation, create a good party playlist well in advance for an uninterrupted house party.

4. Stock Up Finger Foods And Drinks
One of the most important tips is to stock up on food and beverages. It’s a housewarming party, not a dinner. As a result, prepare more finger foods than wholesome meals in the kitchen. Because everyone will be in a party mood, dancing and moving around, finger foods will come in handy. Next, make sure you have enough drinks for the number of people you’ll be hosting.
5. Entertainment Options
There will come a point where you will be tired of dancing to the songs on the playlist. Make sure you have a deck of cards ready on the table because everyone loves playing them. You can also get truth or dare, never have I ever, and other similar game cards to add entertainment to the party. You can also have karaoke in the house. You can also play beer pong and piccolo which are famous house party games.
Lastly, drink responsibly if you are not going to stay back. Have fun!!
