10 ideas to set the mood for your next party
What makes the difference between a proper event and a party that everyone will remember is the atmosphere! And, there are all kinds of ways to create a totally unique party that will surprise your guests!
Here are our top 10 easy ideas to incorporate into your party!
Organize the event around a theme
We don't always think about it, but organizing an event around a theme can make all the difference. Casino, Gatsby, funfair, all in white, humor, Mexican, Christmas, masked ball, international, country, beach, disco, retro, cinema... really, the only limit is your taste and your imagination!
Themed parties can be great fun for a birthday, but also for a baby shower or even a wedding. It depends, of course, on your personality, your tastes and your audacity.
The best part is that it will help you choose everything else: the decorations, the meal, the dress code, etc.
It will take a photographer and/or a photo booth to immortalize it all!
Present a show
Imagine how impressed your guests would be to have a performance during your wedding or anniversary! Some artists offer the opportunity to book a performance for your event. Here are some examples:
- Fireworks show
- Skating show (yes, yes)
- Clowns
- Acrobats,
- A comedian
- A magician
- Etc,
It's really a little extra that everyone will remember!
Specialty bars
It's always a good idea to offer a little something that will please your guests. Have you thought about providing a bar during your wedding or other celebration? No, not just a liquor bar. It can be a fruit bar, a lemonade bar, a beer bar, a popcorn bar, a coffee bar, a cheese bar, a donut bar... Again, the possibilities are endless!
We will talk for a long time about the famous cookie bar at the wedding we attended!
The photo booth
Everyone loves a photo booth! All you need is a tablet, a tripod and a printer. Think about creating a playful or charming decor according to the theme of your event. Let your guests enjoy dressing up with a few accessories. Success guaranteed! And moreover, they will leave with a nice souvenir.
Workshops of all kinds
Worried that your guests will be bored? Book them a workshop to fill the time! There are companies that offer culinary workshops, wine tasting or dancing! But what we prefer are the DIY workshops! There are some specially made for baby showers or birthdays!
Entrust the animation to a professional
By hiring a professional event host like Le Marchand de Plaisir, you can be sure your event will run smoothly. They’ll set the pace for the evening and tie together each activity, from the welcome to the ceremony, including the meal and speeches. This way, you can enjoy the celebration without having to worry about coordinating the entertainment.
The music, of course
This point is no secret. Music is an important part of any celebration, no matter what kind of celebration it is. It can be interesting to alternate between live musicians like songwriters or top 40 bands and a DJ.
Choose songs that will fit your theme and appeal to your guests. The goal is to get people up and dancing on the dance floor!
A foodtruck for your event
Want to impress your guests? Swap the traditional meal with a foodtruck! It's a perfect idea for a friendly event.
If you think foodtruck means fast food, think again! There are trucks that offer elaborate menus, pastries, pancakes and much more!
The games
Games will get your guests moving and interacting with each other. Of course, you don't want to overload the schedule with games.
Here are some ideas:
- The treasure hunt
- The quiz
- The musical chair (yes, it's still funny after 50 times)
- The adjective game
- The limbo
Create a choreography
If you don't have the budget to book a service, you can always create it yourself! Get a few close guests involved and wow the crowd! Not only will you surprise the crowd, but you'll have a lot of fun orchestrating the whole thing.
Karaoke
Karaoke is still in! Make sure you choose the right songs for the playlist so that they make you want to sing along.
Karaoke is fun and funny!
