People love going to a cocktail party. These get togethers are fun not only for the guests but for the host as well. This type of party creates a relaxed atmosphere that encourages different groups of your friends to meet one another in a fun setting. If you are a first time cocktail party host, make sure you follow these tips so that your party goes off without a hitch!
It is important to make sure that you have a large enough space to accommodate the number of people you are planning to invite. Cocktail parties are usually held later in the evening so it is best to have an indoor and outdoor space open for your guests. Ideally, you would have a living room that opens out onto an outdoor porch so that people can move inside if they get chilly. If you have a view, an outside bar area is the perfect entertaining setting. Purchasing and installing a tall bar counter that faces the view is not difficult to do, but you want to make sure that you find indoor extra tall bar stools our outdoor bar stools that fit your décor. There are so many great designs for barstools out there that you are sure to find something that you love!
Counter Stools
If you have set up a perfect area for entertaining, it is time to send the invitations. Cocktail parties first became popular in the 1960's and, at that time, invitations were sent out by mail. If you would like to continue this tradition, go out and purchase cute invitation cards or make them yourself! An email invite is acceptable as well because cocktail parties are usually informal affairs. People are much better at responding to emails these days anyway!
Once you have your RSVPs, it is time to buy your refreshments. Decide what types of drinks you plan to have and stock your bar accordingly. As a rule, party planners recommend that if you serve wine, you should have about one bottle of wine for every two guests. A few appetizers should be on hand as well and be prepared to make coffee at the end of the night for anyone who made need it. One essential item that often is forgotten is ice. Estimate about one pound of ice per guest.
If you are uncomfortable making mixed drinks or you want time to socialize with your guests, consider hiring a bartender. They can do all the work while you have fun! Hosting a cocktail party is a great idea. Just make sure you have your extra tall bar stools, your mixers, and lots of ice and your guests will have a great time!
