Party Entertainment – A Short Guide
Entertaining guests at a party that you are hosting can be a challenge, so let’s look at some possible ideas. Firstly, and most importantly, you need music. There should be music at a party from start to finish. Exactly what you play will depend on the type of party you are having and the tone that you want to set, but you should generally start off with a low tempo and a low volume and steadily build it up. If you are working with a tight budget then CDs will be your only choice. A party with a DJ or a band is normally more fun and memorable though.
As well as having good music, it is a good idea to mix up your entertainment a bit, as most people do not want to dance all night. Hiring a comedian or a magician is worth considering. At around $100 for a set that lasts a couple of hours they represent great value. If you hire students (put up a poster at a college or contact their performing arts / drama department) then you can get yourself an even better deal. Everyone likes to laugh and see magic tricks, so doing this is guaranteed to make your party better.
Some people dismiss having games at a party as being too ‘childish’, but most people actually like playing games. It is just a case of choosing the right games to play and playing them at the right times. No-one at a party will want to sit down and play Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit for hours on end but lots of people would enjoy playing poker for matchsticks / small change and participating in a quiz or a ‘name that tune’ competition. Little games, especially early on in the night, are a great way for those attending who are not familiar with one another to get to know each other.
If you have a garden to make use of for your party, then it would be a shame not to use it, right? You could buy some fireworks and have a little display. It does not matter if it is the traditional time to use fireworks or not. It will actually be better if you use them ‘out of season’ because it will be more of a surprise for your guests. A small barbecue is a good idea too. Light it up and leave some burgers and sausages next to it and you can let people cook for themselves if they are hungry. You do not need to go overboard and implement all of these ideas. Good music with one or two additions is all that you need to ensure that you and your guests have a great time!
