7 Tips for Hosting a Cocktail Party to Remember

7 Tips for Hosting a CocktailIf you’re ready to hold an event for your coworkers or loved ones, making it a night to remember can feel a bit daunting. However, even if you’ve never hosted before, there is a lot you can do to make sure it’s done right. Use the following tips to host a cocktail party everyone will be talking about for years to come.

Find the Perfect Setting

First, make sure you have the perfect setting for the cocktail party. It can be decorated any way you want, but you’ll need to book it ahead of time, so start looking at party venues salt lake city right away. You’ll want to find a space that’s large enough for everyone at the party, that’s not going to feel too big if you have a smaller party, and that’s easy for everyone to get to so they can come and enjoy the night.

Choose the Right Drinks for Everyone to Enjoy

Think carefully about the drink selection, as this will be the highlight of the night. Opt for a few familiar drinks people can select in case they don’t feel like being adventurous. For those who do like to try something new, opt for something a little more exotic or fun. Adding in a number of drinks to choose from ensures everyone can find one they enjoy and that they can try something new if they want.

Pick Out Glasses to Use

There are tons of different types of cocktail glasses, so make sure you pick out the right ones for the theme or the drinks. Some drinks will traditionally come in certain glasses, but that doesn’t mean you have to use them. Get a little bit creative and have fun picking out the right cocktail glasses for the event. Something a little fun and different might be the perfect option over the more traditional options.

Create a Grazing Table with Finger Foods

A grazing table offers guests the freedom to eat when and how they want, typically featuring an array of finger foods. Event caterers, especially those experienced in creating a grazing table sydney or other locations, can expertly set up and curate the selection, advising on the best combination of foods to include. That said, if you’d like to offer a more substantial dining option, consider something fun and interactive like a taco bar. This allows guests to choose their own ingredients and customize their meals, all while using smaller plates and enjoying the flexibility to mingle and walk around as they eat.

Find the Right Music for the Event

Pick out music that everyone will enjoy. Whether it’s for a corporate event or you’re hosting a friend’s get-together, try to find music that’s going to be enjoyable without overtaking the entire night. Consider the volume carefully, as you’ll want everyone to be able to mingle while they enjoy the party.

Consider Live Entertainment

Consider hiring a band to play live music for your guests. They’re more likely to enjoy the experience and you can choose from a wide selection of music that you know everyone will enjoy. Talk to entertainers to get a better idea of your options and think about what the guests might like.

Encourage Mingling

Make sure you set up the tables, food, drink stations, and more to really encourage mingling. When there are paths throughout the area and it’s easy for guests to stop and talk to other people, they’ll be more likely to talk and enjoy the evening.
If you’re getting ready to host a cocktail party, start planning now so you can make it an event to remember. Your guests will enjoy the event and appreciate all of the work that went into making it perfect for them.
