JAKARTA - At Christmas and New Year's Eve, you may be the one who holds a party and invites family or close friends. In making a party, there are many things to consider, from the concept to the food served.
All things prepared should think about the invited guests so that the party is also fun for them. Here are some tips for making a party that is fun for the guests who attend, quoted from Huffpost, on Wednesday, December 24, 2025.
1. Explain the details of the party well on the invitation
The person who knows the details of the party you are making is yourself. However, make sure to also tell the details of the party well, especially the atmosphere or theme carried by the guests so that they can understand and prepare themselves according to the concept carried.
"When guests know what to expect and how to arrive, it immediately takes the stress out of it and helps them feel more confident, and excited to attend," and creative event director, Kristin Micthell.
2. Proper guest list
When having a party, it's a good idea to invite people who have similar interests or at least know each other, or have the potential to be familiar. This will encourage good interactions to occur during the party, and avoid awkwardness.
3. Warm welcome
So that guests are more comfortable and relaxed when attending your party, make sure to personally greet every guest upon their arrival. This makes them feel more appreciated and immediately feel comfortable at the party.
4. Vary the food
Offer a variety of food options that suit dietary preferences, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and others if possible. Delicious and well-presented food is always a major attraction, and a good interaction driver for the guests in attendance.
5. Make connections between guests
You are the most important person in the room in setting the atmosphere of how each guest connects. Invite each guest to interact with each other, don't just stick to one or a few people.
"You can't get stuck talking to just one person or group for too long, because your job is to keep the energy moving. Circulate in the room, check in with everyone and connect the conversation well," Mitchell concluded.
