How to Organise the Best Summer Party

Looking to host an amazing summer party? We’ve got some top tips and hard facts to help your summer celebration go with a swing. High on the agenda are three essentials: your party should be well attended, inclusive, and fun. There are many factors to consider, such as the venue, the theme, the menu, the decorations, the activities, and, most importantly, the guests. Here are some ideas that we hope will help you get it right. Start Planning Your Summer Party NowYipee! Summer is finally here. Or is it? In fact, unless you’re planning a year ahead, let’s hope you’re reading this on a cold, dark afternoon in winter, or perhaps one of those beautiful, crisp, frosty mornings, it doesn’t matter, the point it that summer is short, party venues get booked up, and your guest’s calendars will be filled in no time, so get started long in advance. People want the best from their summer, book early and give them what they want. Send a save-the-date as soon as you can, then secure the perfect venue and exciting activities before they’re taken. Give Your Summer Party the Perfect Personality?The secret sauce for a sizzling summer party that is talked about for years is the vibe. Create an atmosphere that matches what you want to achieve by choosing the right venue and party style. Want to bond the team and boost morale? You could try a thrilling outdoor corporate activity day at a county showground, or in the grounds of a country house hotel. Looking to boost team energy before a major sales campaign? Try go-kart racing or attending a live track event. Perhaps you just want to party with friends and family, or reward the team with a fun and relaxing evening out—where better than a rooftop bar with views across the city? Know Your Summer Party GuestsWhatever the party style you choose, it can be enhanced or harmed by your theme. For this, you have to think about your guests and the purpose. Say you chose a summer party with a tropical beach theme, and encourage your guests to come wearing Hawaiian shirts, hula skirts, and ready to punch volley balls. Nice. It’s going to awaken the Blue-Hawaii period Elvis in a lot of folks. But not all. For some, it’ll have all the appeal of an ice cream dropped in the sand. This can be true of many themes and event styles; all we’re saying is think of your guests. What’s going to work for them? Cater for Everyone: Being Inclusive at Your Summer PartyWhile we’re thinking about different types of guests, let’s talk food and drink. It’s almost without doubt that there will be dietary preferences and restrictions within your guest list or team. Make sure everyone feels they have been catered for and included by creating a food and beverage option that offers all the common dietary choices and requirements—vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low salt, low fat—and any others you may come across. Top tip: the vegetarians will thank you for remembering they’re not all vegans (they love a bit of cheese). And remember, inclusivity goes beyond F&B, try and ensure that all guests can participate in all experiences; you’ll have a greater time, if you can all do it together. It’s Summer Party time! Celebrate, Relax and Have Fun with Your TeamMost of all, your summer party should be enjoyable. So, whether you choose an indoors or outdoors venue, whether it’s an elegant garden party or a raucous street carnival, go out and have a great time with your friends, family members, or colleagues.
