However, you can arm yourself with knowledge before you go into a hosting frenzy! Read on to learn about the four common party hosting mistakes you should avoid at your NYE extravaganza. But first, you have to brush up on the ultimate party hosting hack that will make your party better before your guests even arrive. Go ahead, we’ll be waiting in this tab while that hyperlink opens up!

 

Avoid these 4 mistakes this New Years Party:

 

Mistake #1: The Social Role of Food

 

Don’t be fooled by food. It’s not there because people are hungry. At a party, food is commonly used as a social tool for people to keep themselves occupied or to excuse themselves from social situations. Additionally, it’s awkward to walk into a party where there’s no food. Ultimately, just like cleaning, food is welcoming and will make your guests feel more comfortable in your space!

However, don’t expect all of your guests to just help themselves to whatever you’ve set out!  If you have drinks or appetizers you’ve prepared for them, point it out so that they’re in the loop! If you’re having trouble coming up with appetizer ideas, don’t worry about trying out exotic new recipes, your guests will be happy as clams with the classics. Sitting snug as pugs in your clean living room!

 

Mistake #2: The Flow

 

The role you play in facilitating the social flow of your NYE party will depend on who you’ve invited. For instance, if you’ve invited people from different social groups, you’ll have to make sure to introduce them around before going about your hosting duties. Because, it can be daunting for guests who’ve come to your NYE party alone! So, to make them feel acknowledged and welcome, introduce them to some of the people you wanted them to meet. After all, you did invite them!

Mistake #3: The Music

 

Don’t underestimate music. In fact, it’s arguably one of the biggest concerns you should have when prepping for your NYE party! You know well enough that there’s nothing like awkward silence to kill a good party. Additionally, music also a great tool to facilitate socialization amongst new or old friends alike, filling those inevitable lags in conversation.  Plus, if you’re going for a theme, music can totally set the mood for the party!

So before your guests arrive, curate a playlist (or find one on Spotify) that will help create the atmosphere you want. Just remember to choose music that works in the background and isn’t too overpowering! For instance, you might be going for a vibe that requires rock, reggae, or jazz. Additionally, consider the age group attending and how “clean” the music should be! Lastly, if you live in a condo and are planning to play your music louder than usual, consider warning your neighbours before they start to hate you!

 

Mistake #4: Being a Stress Case

 

Ultimately, the vibe of the party is in your hands. Like a stressed driver can cause stress amongst their passengers, so too can a stressed host ruin the experience for their guests. Yep, stress is contagious. So even if you’ve been racing around trying to get this NYE party organized, once the time finally comes to welcome guests into your home, you need to loosen up and go with the flow!
