This year has been anything, but normal, so it is quite expected that the party rules this year would be a bit different too. Everyone loves a bit of bar hopping and disco-dancing on the New Year’s Eve. But with covid-19 still on the rise in the country, will that be a sensible thing to do? Would you want to catch a deadly virus right at the beginning of a new year? Obviously not! So, what would be the remedy?

Throw yourself a fabulous house party and recreate the disco-vibes or bring back any era you want. Here are some tips for creating a house party that people will definitely want to rsvp.

Party Preparations: Go back a decade earlier and create beautiful flyers. Send this invitation via mail to your friends. You may also create a Facebook event and get the word out. Invite people you know but let everyone know that it is not an open house party. In these trying times, it is wise to keep the circle small.

  • Get supplies, such as enough cups and paper plates.
  • If it is a BYOB party, let the guest know so that you don’t run short on supplies, ask people to bring their own booze.
  • Use all social media platform to get the word out.
  • Invite the coolest people you know to attract the party crowd.

Party Theme: Pay attention to the décor of the house. If you want to bring back the 70’s, then decorate your home accordingly. Or you may also pick Corona theme, and everyone can dress up as sexy nurses, doctors and even zombies!

  • Whatever your party theme is, Spotify has a playlist for it. Select cool songs to turn up the vibes. If you really want to turn your house into a club, hire a Dj who will turn the heat up.
  • Light up scented candles to create a chilled atmosphere.
  • You may introduce pre-rolled weed to add some flavour to the party. Purchase legal THC capsules and pre-rolls from any marijuana dispensary in DC, and you are good to go.

Set Boundaries: You love the people partying in your house, but don’t let everyone make a mess as you’ll be the one cleaning up the mess the next day.

  • Clearly state an end time. It may be at 2’o clock but make sure the music stops precisely at two.
  • Have some people around who will stay sober and act sensibly. It is their responsibility to make sure no one gets behind the vehicle drunk.
  • Instead of bringing a car to a house party, it is wise to book uber. It eliminates the drinking and driving aspect altogether.
  • It is not a club so respecting the house rules is a must. Do not break anything, and do not start a fight.

One protocol that is mandatory for any meetups is the mandatory sanitization. Make sure you have a hand sanitization station installed. Ask everyone to sanitize their hands before entering the house. Don’t look surprised if anyone wants to keep their masks on, as it is their choice to be safe. Let your friends come together and celebrate the ending of this truly horrific year.
