How to Throw a Fun Party: 2021 Party Planning Tips

Here at DivaDance, we LOVE to throw a great party, but there are certain steps we all need to take to get there. Remember, learning how to throw a fun party is all part of the experience. This list will cover fun things to have at a party, whether you’re partying with us, on your own, or over Zoom on your computer, we want to help make sure your next get-together is one for the books. To throw the best party ever, there are a few things you should know before you start planning. We’ve put together our top five most important tips on how to throw a fun party for you and your crew.

1. Gather Ideas… But Not Too Many

⭐ Get the guest of honor’s thoughts on what they want! It is all about them, after all! While your guest of honor should be able to enjoy their own party without the stress of planning and organizing, making sure they are pleased should be the #1 priority. Of course, we want the whole squad to enjoy the party, but if the guest of honor isn’t happy, no one is.

⭐ Set up a discussion board (Pinterest, anyone?) so your whole squad can participate! When it comes to party planning, everyone has an opinion. Allow everyone the opportunity to share ideas and collaborate. HOWEVER, too many ideas can be overwhelming. Make sure you stick to a plan (even if it has to adjust) just to make sure everything is cohesive.

⭐ Start early, research the options, and be flexible to feedback! No one wants to be stressed with last-minute changes; that’s why it’s best to start your planning phase as early as possible. Researching all of your options ahead of time and getting an early start allows you to be flexible with feedback. In order to make sure things run smoothly and keep your party guests pleased, flexibility is KEY.

⭐ Plan for the venue. If you and your friends can’t meet IRL, then a quick search of how to host a virtual party can be a real lifesaver. Keep in mind, that celebrating a moment with the people in your squad, enjoying games, and dancing the night away is truly what makes a party fun.

2. Get In-formation

⭐ The number one rule when it comes to how to throw a fun party is to have a plan. Get organized with a guest list, budget, and checklist! To make sure everything runs smoothly, it’s best to keep things as organized as possible. Keep an updated guest list, so you know exactly who and how many to expect. An organized budget is helpful to stay on track. Surprise costs might come up, so it’s important to know just how much you can afford to spend.

⭐ Our staff can help you sort out all the details! The hardest (I mean BEST) part of a DivaDance party is picking your routine! We have so many options to choose from. From your favorite throwbacks to the latest hits, be sure to pick a song that everyone in your group will enjoy. It’s sure to be a blast no matter what!

3. Share the Love

⭐ There is a lot to think about: entertainment, supplies, transportation, food, and drink. Let your squad (including us!) help you out! As the planner, there can be a lot on your plate, but that’s what we’re all here for. Don’t feel like you have to do everything on your own. If everyone lends a hand, your party will be poppin’ in no time!

⭐ No need to stress! Our Premium Party includes cupcakes, champagne, AND a photo wall in addition to our 🔥 choreography! It’s an outside-the-box party… in a box! If you’re looking to do as little coordination as possible, we are here to bring the party to you. The premium party is the way to go if you want to sit back and let us handle some of the dirty work. With this option, you don’t have to learn how to throw a fun party, because we’ve got you covered.

4. Communicate

⭐ Set up a squad group text to keep everyone in the loop! When you think you’re communicating enough, step it up a notch. Over-communicate if you have to. Nothing is worse than feeling like you don’t know what’s going on. We want your whole squad to feel comfortable and excited about your party. Make sure that they know what’s up.

⭐ Have a social media plan and pact: what’s cool to post and what’s your hashtag (we’re partial to #slayingismycardio)?! The guest of honor may have opinions about what goes on the internet, so be sure to check in with them before the party. Do they want an unplugged party? If so, make sure everyone is made aware ahead of time, and let everyone in the room know about the privacy policy.? The last thing you want is to do is damage control. If everyone is cool with it, post away! Come up with a personal hashtag so you can see everyone’s new posts in one spot or use ours!

5. Have Fun!

⭐ This is about spending quality time with your BFFs and celebrating, whether IRL or online! Getting everything planned and organized ahead of time is the most important step. Doing so will allow you to enjoy the party you worked hard to plan! With everything so well thought out, you’ll be able to sit back, relax, and watch everything fall into place.

⭐ Let your hair down and do more of what you love! Our DivaDance parties are all about having a good time. We want you and your squad to do what you love! Remember, this time is all about you and your squad, so ENJOY IT!
