Want to throw a party your guests won't forget (in a good way)? I will share four secrets that will make any birthday party, corporate party, anniversary party, retirement party, or reunion a success. While they may seem obvious, you'd be surprised how many people are unaware of these pointers.
1. Welcome your guests and honor the occasion. You can greet your guests personally or speak in front of them from a stage. I recommend doing this within the first 60 to 90 minutes of the party. Remind everyone why you have gathered together on this day, and thank your guests for coming, especially those who have traveled a long way or made some sacrifices in order to attend. This is also a good opportunity to pay tribute and perhaps even toast the celebrants. If you don't want to do the welcome yourself, you can ask your MC or DJ to do it.
2. Plan enough activities to keep the party lively. Most people organize their events around the food service. They play background music while the guests are eating and dance music during or after dessert. Some party planners insert activities in between, such as candle lighting ceremonies to honor special guests, food blessings, toasts to the celebrants, short video presentations, or special readings. A variety of activities will make the event more fun. Also see to it that they are appropriate for the occasion.
