Be the best host ever with these etiquette tips for hosting the perfect event! Make sure your guests have an unforgettable night and remember your soirée for years to come!
As you gear up for your next event, whether it be a housewarming, a birthday bash, or a holiday get-together, you’ll want to make sure you live up to the title of the best host ever. After all, no one wants to throw a party that falls flat. To make sure your soirée goes off without a hitch and that your guests have the time of their lives, here’s a few important tips on how to be a great host.
Curate The Guest List
First, make sure to do your research about your guest list. By figuring out who’s attending, you’ll be able to set the tone for the evening before the guests even arrive. Establish a dress code, create music suited for your guests, and pick a menu that can responsibly accommodate everyone’s tummy.
Set The Menu
Once you’ve got a basic plan, it’s important to be considerate of who is attending and make sure to respect their individual needs. For instance, if someone has dietary restrictions, cater to them and make them feel special. If the event is a housewarming, prioritize safety and be sure to never leave anything burning unattended. Besides, there’s no better feeling than knowing that you have put your guest’s safety as a top priority.
Lights, Camera, Action!
Once people arrive, it’s all about providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Let people ease into the party by engaging in conversations and checking to see if they need food or drinks. Most importantly, enjoy the party yourself. The more relaxed and entertained you are, the more relaxed and entertained your guests will become.
…And Scene.
Once things start winding down, remind your guest to clean up after themselves and thank them for attendee. You can even send them a thank you card or a small gift to thank them for supporting your evening. This way, you’ll make sure your guests remember your soirée for the years to come.
