1. • 7 Must-Haves for Throwing the Most Epic Party

   • 

   • Roll out a keg, tap, and enjoy - if that’s your idea of throwing an unforgettable party, then you may be on the verge of committing a rookie mistake.

     Throwing a party is one thing, but throwing an epic bash is the real deal. You don’t want to get featured in the hall of shame for throwing a boring soiree, which is why it is important that you plan it well in advance. An outstanding party is a lot more than a boring can of Pringles and cheap beer. As the host, you need to have everything, from the booze to the music, in place.

     Having the ultimate party stuff is a must for hosting a raucous night and you simply cannot afford to compromise on that. Stocking up on the essentials will result in your party becoming a phenomenal hit.

     Here are a few must-haves that can help you take your party to a whole new level.

     1. Ultra-Cool Lighting

     Nobody wants to party under bright, fluorescent prison-esque lights. They are a strict no-no. Too-harsh or too-bright lighting at a party can be a big turn-off. You can control the mood of a room simply by altering the color, frequency, and intensity of the lighting. Hang string lights or replace your light bulbs with black lights to give the room a dark, club-like effect.

     Place small bowls of party favors such as glow sticks, glow bracelets, and glow necklaces at different areas of your pad. That will add the desired lighting effect to your place. Consider using strobe lights, lava lamps, or neon-colored party streamers, but otherwise keep light fixtures to a minimum. Make sure to turn off overhead lighting as it tends to cast unflattering shadows.

     2. Scrumptious Food

     A party’s incomplete without good food. This doesn’t imply that you need to serve a full-course dinner to your guests. But, you do need to make sure that you have a few light snacks in place. This way your guests won’t end up getting too wasted.

     Help keep the party light-hearted by providing candies. Lollipops and hard candies are popular at parties. Apart from these, pizzas are the perfect social food. Make sure to have finger-foods such as sausage rolls, crisps, and dips on the menu. Additionally, having numerous bags of assorted chips will act like cherry on the cake.

     3. Outstanding Ice Service

     Running out of ice during the party can be a huge dampener. For having a kickass shindig, you need to up your game by stocking up on lots of ice.

     Buy three bags of ice. Dump two of them in the cooler to keep beer and wine in, and attach a bottle opener to the cooler with a string. You can even opt for a DIY ice bucket as that will help add more personalized touch to the party. Also, make sure to set some tongs or a cup in there so that no one touches the ice with their bare hands.

     4. A High-Quality Video Camera

     What is the point of throwing an epic party if you cannot share it with the world!

     Only party photographs won’t be enough. You want your party legacy to live on forever, which is why you should make sure to record all the goings-on with a high-quality video camera. More importantly, don’t forget to post the video on YouTube.

     5. Super-Creative Drinking Alternatives

     When it comes to party drinks, beer should be a no-brainer. But, it always helps to have some alternatives around too. Also, there’s no denying that consuming fruit punch jungle juice and Natty light can get really boring after a certain point of time. If you are not asking your guests to BYOB (bring your own beer), make sure that you’ve arranged enough for everyone.

     It’s time to exhibit your skills as a mixologist to your friends. Plan ahead, make some Jell-O shots and buy some hard alcohol. Jell-o-shots aid in taking the edge of the taste of the hard liquor and are a favorite of many female party goers.

     Get your hands on a few of the best budget-friendly liquor bottles. Stock up on the basics such as gin, vodka, bourbon, triple sec, vermouth, scotch, tequila, and rum. Don’t forget to have a few non-alcoholic options such as club soda, tonic water, cola, sprite, ginger ale, orange juice, cranberry juice, 7-up, pineapple juice, Angostura bitters, lime, and lemon juice. Display your bartending prowess by going for super-cool glow-in-the-dark cocktails.

     Get an assortment of beer bongs, booze luges and other corny things to make your party livelier. Also, make sure that there is a good supply of Dixie cups for shots and red cups for beer, chasers, and mixed drinks.

     6. Classy Speakers

     Badass music is a must-have for throwing an uber-cool party. If you’re trying to get things turnt up, you should opt for upbeat music. Curating the perfect playlist requires substantial time and effort.

     But, it does not end there. You also need to ensure that your guests can truly enjoy the rocking songs on your playlist. So, make sure to wire up the speakers around the main dance room and let the amazing music make the party a huge success. The absence of good speakers will dull the party vibe.

     7. Chic Party Favors

     Want to create a furore among your guests for your party? Consider getting a few interesting and out-of-the-box party supplies.

     They can turn a regular night into an unforgettable one. Consider getting the following:

     > Crazy shades

     > Personalized shot glasses

     > Bling rings

     > Naughty headbands

     > Moustache lollipops

     Conclusion

     If you’re hosting a party, then you need to make sure that you’re absolutely geared up for it. Failure to do so may cause you to lose face. However, that doesn’t imply that you need to go overboard when buying party essentials. It could cost you a fortune. While pulling off a fun house party may seem daunting, it isn’t rocket science. The aforementioned tips will help you throw the perfect party, one that you have always dreamed of. Moreover, they will also make your party the talk of the town. Keep the good times rolling!
