10am in the morning. Waking up on the office floor. 2 hours of sleep. Sticky floors. A broken door handle. A raging hangover. Must have been a good party.
It’s a big step to move into a new house. A step that should be celebrated with a big sesh. But how do you pull off the perfect house party?
The Facebook event: Start by creating a Facebook event with the rest of your housemates. Invite everyone who is anyone and make sure to lay down the rules- BYOB and the such. By making a Facebook event you can see who you can expect to come and judge the size of your party, and the size of the mess you will have to clear up in the morning.
The prep: You can’t have a party without the décor. But you don’t have to be an interior designer to make your pad party ready. Trashy decorations are everything. Party poppers, streamers, glow sticks, balloons, confetti, get the whole lot going. You may as well trash your house with decorations before it gets trashed by your guests. In terms of colour scheme don’t think of one- the more colour clashes the better your house will look.
The food: As soon as the alcohol hits so does the need for food. To combat hangry guests make sure there are at least a few things to nibble on. Crisps, sweets, pizza- bang it in the oven while you’re getting ready and by the time you’re appropriately done up so will your food. A word to wise- if you’re going to buy sausage rolls make sure they are sausage rolls and not cheese and onion. Seriously they don’t go down well.
The music: Everybody knows that the key to an unforgettable house party is the music. You have to get the perfect balance between chart hits and old school cheesy hits. You need songs that will attract people to the dancefloor and make them stay there. Once everyone’s drunk they won’t be able to stop grinding on each other and making children in the middle of your living room. Come on Eileen is always a crowd pleaser. ALWAYS.
The end: The finale of the night is really how you can tell if the party has been a success. There will be those who will stumble home at 5 in the morning muttering useless shite that nobody cares about. Those who passed out upstairs before 12 and have been dead ever since. At least somebody is guaranteed to be sick even though you had pre-warned everyone not to mix drinks and eat those damn cheese and onion rolls. And there is a 99% chance that someone will be hooking up somewhere that isn’t a bedroom. Regardless of everyone’s situation as long as everyone is drunk and mumbling about how much they love each other you’ve done yourself and your trashed new house justice.
Despite a bomb having hit your house the night will be worth it. No matter how old you get house parties will always be the best. Just remember to always check the sausage rolls. They are the silent killer of a house party…
