Open House Party Ideas: Dress Up the Floor!
I’m sure I am not the only one that attended a blast of a party in someone’s home. We all remember the endless drinks, the music, the corner nooks where we made friends with other people, the initial “I like your house” pleasantries which were quickly drowned out by the sound system.
Ok, so let’s deal with the more serious kind of house party. The kind that you throw when you invite some co-workers and their families. Or, your boss and his family. Wouldn’t you want to impress them with your hospitality, your house’s design and the impeccable taste that you have?
Let’s talk about focal points. Though your guests may not always take in everything that they see in your place, as they’d probably crane their neck around to look at all your wall decorations, there is one aspect that’s sometimes entirely overlooked: the floor.
Guests spend their time walking around admiring things, while waiting for dinner to be served or while chatting. Inadvertently, your floor is the focal point that they glue their eyes on when there is a feeling of awkwardness, or even boredom.
Don’t panic. Your floor can be the best source of conversation for those at a loss of topics to talk about. You can dress up your floor in Area Rugs, for the effect that you want to achieve. A bit of blending and good choice of materials for rugs , and your house is pretty fabulous with minimal decorations.
Contemporary Rugs are always in style, and you can design your whole living room around a particularly good design. If your aim is to dress the floor to impress, this is the best way to do it.
Bridal Shower for the Workaholic Bachelorette
There are women who work 6 days a week, with their day off spent mostly relaxing in preparation for the next week’s work load. How in the world will women like these find time to throw a spectacular all-nighter shower with all their colleagues and friends in attendance? A party planner hired to manage this task will have to be shrewd and think of a venue and a theme for the bridal shower of such a lady.
My suggestion:
Coffee-themed Bridal Shower!
Many people like coffee but some love it to distraction. These coffee connoisseurs know the brands that they like or the store that makes the best coffee. A classy coffee shop is also a favorite 5 o’clock hang out of employees and office people. This is the best venue for the bridal shower he have in mind.
Food Ideas:
freshly baked Baguettes
Crispy Croissants
Coffee or non-coffee beverages (tea, fruit juice etc.)
Cookies and Chips
Spiked Coffee for the more adventurous
Giveaways
Coffee Mugs
There’s nothing better than a steaming cup of hot coffee in your favorite mug. Give your guests your own bridal shower mugs with your bridal shower date and a nice thank you quote on it. Colleagues and girl friends may bring these home after, and a certain thrill may consume you when you see them drinking from these mugs at the office. Economically, check out this set of 4 Cabin Series Coffee Mugs, which you can order online to save time and cash. Buying a set is cheaper than paying for the mugs individually.
Gift for the Bride-to-Be
For someone who’s used to being on the go, a HONEYMOON SUITCASE is the best gift choice. She can plop it inside her luggage and never have to worry that she left some toiletries at home. Lessen her stress and let her enjoy her 3-day, 2-night honeymoon with her new husband.
Venue issue
Television Celebrity Wedding (Marimar)
The venue is the factor that will affect the success of your event most. This is where the guests and your clients will stay for 3-5 hours or more, and in this place they will be experiencing the best party of their lives, with your help of course. A trusted venue will be the best for any party, but it will outgrow its usefulness for returning clients, as they’d want another place where they can have a different kind of party. Mishaps and boredom can be avoided when these 2 following words are taken into consideration:
“Plan ahead”
The best locations can be very busy at peak seasons, i.e. resorts during the summer, 500-people halls during debutante season and wedding reception gardens during June. For your peace of mind you need to book early. However, if you have procrastinated and left it late, there are several measures that can be done to make up for the time lost.
The perfect venue is perfect only because you sold its potential well to the client. Suggest a new party theme for an old and trusted venue.If the returning client loved that venue before, point out the benefits of staying there.
The main things to look for in a venue:
- ventilation and lighting
- water supply for washing and cooking
- well-maintained and enough number of restrooms
- ambiance
You notice that ambiance is the last priority, which can be justified with the point I raised earlier. Ambiance can be manipulated through insightful decorations and technical implements such as music . The rest of the things on the list are of utmost necessity.
