Host Your Friends with One of These Party Ideas
Meta: Looking for a new fresh idea for your home bash? We’ve got just the right one for you.
Different Party Ideas You Can Host for Your Friends at Home
Planning your next soiree can become quite stressful if you have multiple ideas but no clear direction. Holding a bingo night, a food-themed night, or even a holiday-themed party are great ideas, but it can go much deeper than this – and it’s still so much fun. To help you have one of the best parties ever, we’ve looked at the different ways and ideas to host your friends in your home.
Games Day or Evening
Playing games with your friends can be so much fun and highly competitive. And theming your party around games can be fun too. Ask your friends to dress up like their favorite board game character or even something specific from a board game like an Uno card or one of the character pieces from Monopoly.
Keep in mind that some games can become tiresome after some time, so look around for other games that might liven the mood. Depending on the games or the characters your friends are coming as make it interesting by adding a twist or two. Twists can include playing for money or extra treats and even rewarding the best dressed!
Go Virtual
Thank goodness we can do most things virtually, and having a get-together should be no exception. If each of your friends is living in a different city, you can set up a Teams, Skype, Google Meet, or even a Zoom call with all your friends for a time that suits everyone.
And before the virtual get-together takes place, send each friend a care package for them to enjoy while on the call. Add an agenda and make it fun. Include a funny item each person must wear on the call, like a button that says, “best friend over here” or something along those lines.
Connecting with your friends and having food and drinks can be done even when you are miles apart.
The Party Bus
This is an excellent way to socialize with friends. But instead of hiring a party bus, create one.
Drive your party bus by decorating a section of your home to look exactly like the interior and incorporate some parts of the bus’s exterior. Here you can set up your soiree with drinks and snacks.
To make this truly authentic, download traffic sounds, as well as any bus-related sounds to play during your event. And to add an extra layer of cool that also offers safety, hire a minibus to cart your friends to and from your home.
Cook Your Meal Party
Now, hear us out; getting everyone involved in the cooking can be loads of fun. Instead of having your friends bring along different dishes from home, why not have them join you in cooking at your place.
Make a list of a few types of dishes. Ask each of your friends to select the dish they are willing to cook. Buy the ingredients needed, and before your friends arrive, set up your kitchen or cooking space with everything they will need to make their meals.
Allow each friend enough time to prep and set up. Once everyone has cooked their dish, share it with the whole squad. Not only will this bring everyone closer together, but you will also have a unique flavor for each dish.
Come as Your Favorite Thing
Bringing out the creative sides of those near and dear to you can be loads of fun. Theme your bash around each of your guests’ favorite things. Ask each of your guests to come as their favorite thing.
Make a list of each of the costumes, then incorporate each favorite item into your party. If someone is coming as Darth Vader, add some Star Wars elements like napkins, figurines, etc. If one of your friends loves pizza and will be coming dressed as one, have pizza on your menu. Make your guests feel special with subtle touches.
Spa Day
This does not only have to be a party for women. Include your male friends, too, since everyone needs a pamper session now and again. There are so many home spa ideas available that you can get quite creative with; here’s what you need to do.
Set up a space in your home with foot spas and a comfortable chair for each person. Hire two or three massage therapists (depending on the size of the group) to give each guest an excellent back, neck, and foot rub.
Sip on drinks and eat some snacks while you enjoy a luxury pamper party! And remember, no cell phones, just all-out relaxation and great company.
