5 Ways to Spruce Up Your Next House Party

There’s just something about having a house full of your closest friends and family that feels so good. Not only will you be creating lasting memories, but hosting a party will also fill your home with laughter and positive energy. It’s a win-win situation. Your guests get to have a fun night out, and you get to showcase your gorgeous home and provide an exciting experience for all those involved.

How can you be certain you’re doing things right? It’s every host and hostess’s fear that their guests will show up and have a miserable time. Taking a few extra steps can ensure you’re providing the best entertainment and experience possible. Things like great décor, awesome food, and a spectacular atmosphere really make all of the difference.

  • Invitations

Picking out the perfect invitation should be the first item on your party to-do list. This is really going to set the tone for your get-together and let people know what to expect. Sure, you could always just shoot off a mass text, or send a Facebook group message, but that’s just not very exciting. Don’t you get a little thrill when you open your mailbox and find something that didn’t come from the utility company?

A quality invitation ups the ante and gets people excited. It’s also a great way to give hints about your party. Let’s say, for instance, that you’re interested in throwing a sophisticated wine tasting at home. American Stationery’s “Wine Placesetting” Invitation is the perfect accompaniment and gives your guests a clear idea of what they’re in for.

You won’t believe the invitation options you’ll find on the American Stationery website! A huge selection, paired with their incredible craftsmanship … get ready to be impressed!

  • Décor

So you’ve nailed down the guest list and mailed out the invitations … what’s next? Fun décor is a staple for great house parties. Not only does it help to bring the theme of your gathering home, it gives the guests something to look at and talk about. Whether it’s beautiful flower arrangements or fun tissue paper pom-poms, great decorations help to make your party a success.

Don’t just think about the main party area! Try to sprinkle decorations and little extras throughout the house; even the bathroom shouldn’t be overlooked! You can purchase a gorgeous set of personalized soaps and hand towels for your bathroom at American Stationery that are guaranteed to catch everyone’s attention!

  • Food Service

Let’s face it; when most people are attending a house party, they have one question on their minds. What are we going to eat? We are a society that tends to love food, and there’s no doubt you’ve spent a large amount of time planning the perfect menu. While taste is everything, American Stationery believes in the importance of presentation. Take their impeccable dip and serving board that’s been constructed from the finest wood and exquisitely carved with your custom monogram or name design. With this gorgeous serving piece, a piece of bread is no longer just a piece of bread … it’s an olive-oil-and-herb-soaked delight that perfectly accents the Italian meal you’ve prepared for your guests.

Putting a little extra emphasis on food presentation is sure to keep your company talking. They’ll be impressed by your efforts, and grateful for such a wonderful dining experience.

  • Atmosphere

Town & Country magazine once featured an article discussing the many ways there are to be a good host and/or hostess. One of their most impressionable tips revolved around creating an amazing atmosphere with great smells and attractive lighting. Creating the right ambiance is key to a successful evening. Depending on the type of party you’re looking to host, things like soft music and dim lighting will really set the mood for your get-together.

What’s one of the key tools in any host’s party planning arsenal? Candles! Not only do they provide a soft glow that will make your guests feel more at ease, they are a great way to tantalize everyone’s sense of smell.

Your guests have arrived, and they’ve enjoyed a perfect evening filled with cozy ambiance and delicious food. Don’t stop there! As you say your goodbyes, offer them a favor to remember the evening by. Not only will this help to express your gratitude for their attendance, it will help keep them in the party mood long after the candles have burnt out and the leftovers are safe in the fridge.

Why not offer them a sweet treat for the car ride home? American Stationery’s fun, designer cookie tins are the perfect parting gift!
