There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition and rivalry between friends or family. It’s fun to try and one-up your friends when you are planning an event and this is certainly the case with house parties. You can throw a house party at any time throughout the year or save them for special occasions. But how do you ensure that your party is one to remember? Here are some of the options that you can consider. 

Plan Live Entertainment 

First, you might want to consider going beyond the typical Alexa playlist. Instead, you could consider hiring some live entertainment for your guests. If you do this, you’re sure to impress them with music that they can dance to or listen to through the evening. This is the perfect choice if you have quite a large outdoor area and it could be a wonderful treat for a summer evening. We do suggest that you let your neighbors know a few weeks before though.

Explore Some New Recipes

One option to impress guests would be to explore some new recipes that they won’t have tried before and may have never even heard of. In doing so, you can guarantee that your house party tastes and feels completely fresh and unique. For instance, you could take a look at a Lillet blanc recipe to guarantee that your guests have the perfect drink to enjoy in the evening. Now might even be the time to try a Steak Diane dish. Careful though because to get this right, you will need to flambe the sauce to absolute perfection. 

Invest In A New Feature

Or you could think about investing in a new feature for your home. This could be a great way to add a talking point to your property and guarantee that you do have something to brag about. One example would be a 360-degree fireplace. Guests are certainly going to notice a feature like this when they walk into your living area.

Hire A Catering Service

Did you think that a catering service is only an option for a big event like a wedding? Think again, there are lots of catering companies that will be more than happy to attend your house party and prep the food for your guests. It’s up to you how you choose to plan this. You can have the catering staff there to wine and dine your guests. Or, you can set it up so it looks like you prepared all the food yourself. Regardless of which option you choose here, you just need to make sure that you are checking the reviews before you hire a company online. They can differ quite a lot in terms of the quality of the food you get or the service that you receive. 

I hope this helps you understand some of the best ways that you can impress guests at your next house party. In doing so, you will be able to make sure that your event is a hit and set the bar high for the next friend who decides to plan their own dinner event. How do you go about planning for a house party? What tips can you add to this list?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Until our next rendezvous…
