How to Plan a Legendary House Party: The Ultimate Guide!

Hey party people! Are you gearing up for a legendary house party but don't know how to plan a house party? Don't sweat it – Boozy House is here to guide you through the pre-party prep with our ultimate checklist. We've got everything you need, from setting the mood to the ultimate rager, so let's get planning!

 

PHASE 1 : PLANNING THE PARTY

 

  1. Decide the Theme (Optional) : An easy way to throw a great party is to have a themed party. By creating a theme for your party, you can easily make the decorations, food, music, and activities match each other, making the party cohesive. Themes can be anything from a certain time period like the 90s to colours like a red and black party.

  2. Location is the Key: Decide where the party will flow. It can be your place, a friend's or an AirBnB which is party friendly. It's pretty obvious, but let's not forget we need a place where we can accommodate everyone comfortably, have rager music without disturbance and create an unforgettable experience.

  3. Set the Guest List : Decide your squad, and it's always good to note it down so you don't forget anyone ;)
    Do invite the person you fancy, the work crush, the friend of a friend, the gym girl you always wanted to ask out… Having a house party is the perfect excuse for inviting someone over without it being weird.

    Send out the invites early with the location, date, time, theme and anything else you want to mention. Remember to be super creative and witty with your invites.

  4. Always Lie About the Time : Yes. The large party I am throwing which will inevitably go on until five in the morning starts at 8.30PM sharp” – Rehearse this lie until you can say it with total confidence and repeat it to all guests. This is crucial if you don’t want to spiral into an anxious meltdown at 10:30PM because nobody’s arrived. Because guess what? You didn’t invent arriving late to a party to appear desirable and aloof – everyone does it. So if you say it’s earlier, people will show up at a more normal time.

 


PHASE 2 : RIGHT BEFORE THE PARTY 

  1. The Perfect Houseparty Music: Sit down with your housemates at least 24 hours before and create an endless masterpiece. Music is the key that will set the tone for the party, so you don't want to mess that up in any case.

    Consider taking it up a notch with a DJ, but if you can't afford one - the Boozy house commercial DJ set which has the perfect mix of English pop to Bollywood and Punjabi with the best tracks, transition and drops. You will have a DJ without paying for one.

  2. Deck Up a Variety Of Alcohol : A good drink selection can make or break your party. Some guests prefer whiskey, some vodka, and some like beer, so, ensuring there’s ample choice for the guests is a good idea. The key is to buy alcohol stock in bulk so that you can avail a good deal.

  3. Munchies : Don't ever forget the munchies!!

  4. Disposables are God’s blessings : Get disposable cups and cutlery & don’t worry about breaking anything when you are having the most epic party.

  5. Choose The Menu Wisely : No one wants to debate for hours and end up ordering pizzas. Finger foods and snacks like French fries, cheese breadsticks, and potato wedges make the perfect menu for a party. These foods keep the guests satiated. Include more starters than the main course on your menu. But make sure you have enough main course too because guests do get hungry as the night progresses.

 

PHASE 3 : D-DAY

  1. Set The Vibe : Clear out furniture, create designated areas for dancing, chilling, and of course eating. Set up the lighting as per the mood, from low-key chilling to banging rager. If you don’t know what lighting to use, check out our Smart Party lights to get your vibe going.
    Cleanliness Counts: Give your place a thorough cleaning beforehand. No one wants to party in a dusty dungeon!

  2. Games are a must : Games are the perfect way to get the party going and for the new entrants of the squad to get comfortable. You can choose from our recommended top 12 games including classics like beer pong or flip the cup or some fascinating ones like the asshole drinking game or arrogance.

  3. Host Responsibilities : Being the host, welcome everyone and get them their first drink. Try to get everyone together for games or dance together to really create some epic memories.

  4. Set up the bar : Place all the bottles, mixers, ice, water & bar tools in an organized way to showcase all your prep and give your bar a classy look.

  5. Custom Menu : Call a bartender & customise a curated menu for cocktails for a special night. Remember to get creative and use your wits in designing the coolest menu for your guests. Don't have the time or need help in curating something special? Contact the Boozy House team to get it custom-made for you ;)

Pro Tips :

  1. Anti Hangover : Don't Forget the anti hangover shots or party smart for those who can't handle their booze.

  2. Neighbourly Nods : Let your neighbours know about the party in advance, and be mindful of noise levels. 

  3. Vomit Zone : Keep a designated washroom for those who might end up having too much. Remember to take care of them, get them to puke at the right place, clean up & try to sober them up with a lemon. Put them to sleep and you can continue your rager.

  4. Cleaning up the Next Day's Mess : Ensure to clean up all the mess you & your friends will be creating by tipping your house help or calling a professional from Urban Company or anyone you can trust.

 

Remember, the most important ingredient for an epic house party is YOU! Relax, have fun, and don't be afraid to get creative. With Boozy House by your side, you're guaranteed to throw a bash everyone will remember. Now go forth and party like a pro but RESPONSIBLY!
