How To Put Together the Best Post-Covid Beach Party
We are all looking forward to the end of the pandemic so that we can get to do the things we love, like partying. Don’t you long for that time when you would just put together a party for people and be satisfied with the outcome? How would people thank you for being kind enough to take up the task? Or how amazing it felt to mark it as a successful event in your schedule? Well, soon enough, you will be able to do that. And I bet that you’ll want to be prepared when the time comes.
This book will give you a rundown of what to do when that time comes. How you’ll be able to set up an outstanding beach party. Here’s how:
1. Choose a Theme
Picking a theme for your beach party helps you to make the work easier for your guests to know what to wear during the party. The theme doesn’t have to be sophisticated, the aim is to give people ideas on to what extent they can go wild. You don’t have to be too original with the theme, you can pick the ones you have done before or done by other people and improve them to be better.
2.Consult Legal Authorities For a Permit
While hosting a beach party may be quite an innocent idea to let people come and enjoy themselves, you need to keep on the right side of the law. Talk to the local authorities to understand the requirements for hosting a beach party and how the regulations stipulate beers and other intoxicating drinks in public places.
This helps you to know to what extent your party is supposed to go. Consulting themes are also a great way to familiarize yourself with the authorities, which might come in handy when someone stirs up trouble during the party.
3.Know Your Guest Number
As a party planner, you need to be aware of the number of people your party will be having. You can do this by selling your tickets early so that you can have a definite number of how many people you’ll be expecting. Plus this way, you get to know how far your budget goes. Additionally, if anything happens to one, you can easily report rather than having a large crowd that you cannot account for when anything goes south.
4.Create a Budget For Your Party
This is something that you should never miss. Creating a budget is necessary since it gives you a clear guide as to where the party is going, either towards profits or losses. Budgeting also helps you to be able to cover for anything that may have been overlooked.
5.Know Where to Place Your Drinks
This can be quite an issue if you are working with an open beach with very few stands to use. Well, not to worry. You can use the floating pontoon cube. It‘ll allow you to set a good ground to place your drinks away from people, where they may be knocked down when people dance. Plus this way, people will have a lot of space to dance and fool around.
6.Opt For Low-Maintenance Food
Prepare a menu that guests may enjoy without the use of utensils. Veggies with dip, finger sandwiches, and sweet and salty snack alternatives are all excellent choices. Food that is portable and easy to eat will keep everyone pleased and satiated while allowing them to roam around and chat.
7.Stick to Simple Cocktails
As a general rule, provide beer, chilled wine, and one trademark drink. An alcoholic punch or sangria that can be produced in large batches ahead of time is ideal for keeping drink selections interesting without having to mix individual cocktails.
8.Think of Simple But Perfect Decorations
While you want to utilize nature and allow your party to be at the beach, you may want to throw on some escape blankets and umbrellas to make it seem more appealing. Plus, if you let your party be without decorations, it’s going to be very dull. Here are great ways to decorate your beach party and make it more lively.
If you plan to have your party at night, things are even better for you. You can simply use some flowers and led lights to create the perfect scenery for your party.
9.Don’t Forget the Entertainment
This is essential for the party. As in, people won’t come to your party to dance to the sound of water, right? You need to have your entertainment system prepared early in advance. Have them at the venue a day earlier or hours earlier and set properly. It is also vital to test them first before the guests arrive, to avoid your party being ruined at the last minute due to issues with the public addresses and the whole party entertainment altogether.
The Bottom Line
The secret to being a wonderful hostess is to prepare as much as possible ahead of time. Preparing, storing, and covering food, as well as keeping drinks cool, are all significant considerations. All that’s left to do now is sit back and enjoy the party with a poncho cocktail in hand! All the Best!
