For a successful home party involves careful thought and planning. There are many issues that need to be addressed, regardless of how large the event will be, and what is the purpose of the celebration. Budget is the number one thing to consider and every aspect of the event has to be considered with the budget respected.
In addition to the customary cake or desserts that are served at almost every event, there is food and drink to consider. Furthermore, there are invitations, party favors and the decorations that all cost money as well. In addition to that, you may need to invest in party rentals as well, like tables, chairs, cutlery and so on.
While you may save a lot of money by opting to throw a home party rather than one in a banquet hall, one needs to consider the size of their own home before preparing the guest list. It's important that everyone is comfortable instead of stepping all over each other. Furthermore, the budget may not allow for a very extensive guest list, which would probably require it to be trimmed down a bit.
A sit down meal may be the way you want to go about it, but the larger the group, the more difficult it gets, especially in a residence. Therefore, the best solution is to go buffet style. It also gives people the opportunity to choose what they want to eat. Whatever the case, there has to be planning and variety.
If you're thinking of pizza and other food that you can order in, it may be more costly than doing it yourself. Of course, catering is also very expensive and not in everyone's budget. If you have the time and a little skill, you can do it yourself.
The important thing is to think ahead, get good recipes, and especially those of foods that can be made the day before or even several days or weeks before. That way, the day of the celebration, the host or hostess only needs to reheat.
A good example of such foods includes stuffed shells, a casserole, meatballs and such. The main course can consist of a roast of any type. The good thing about this is the fact that it can be prepared the night before, and simply placed in a warm oven to roast slowly and with minimal supervision. The only thing left to do is prepare salads and side dishes.
Of course, decorating can be done in advance as well, even up to a week before so it you do not have too much to do on the given day. The day before your home party, clean all the rooms in order to keep it looking into the top shape
Just to keep you safe, calculate the amount of time it will take you to do any and all the various tasks required. Then, double that time because most of us don't have superb time management skills, which could leave this into a heap of trouble.
