3 Top Tips For Hosting A Party At Home

If you have been missing out on spending quality time with the special people in your life, it is time to reconnect. Here are a few fun ways to spend time together.

Choose Your Beverages

Pick the perfect beverage for your activities at any time of the year. A Park Sesh Lager goes well with many types of food. It has year-round appeal and is praised for being an easy-to-drink craft lager. Imagine sitting back with one of these in your hand while enjoying the company of good friends and family.

It is important to always drink responsibly, so ensure you have water and other beverages on hand to round out your offerings. Pop (or soda, depending upon your geographic location) is a great addition to your craft beer selection. 

If there are children present, offer them some tasty alternatives to your satisfying lager. Make a lemonade cart or cooler with fun old-fashioned soda drinks like sarsaparilla for them to try. Be sure to include a bottle opener and a place to dispose of their bottle caps and bottles.

Pull Out the Games

Whether you are getting together indoors or outside, there are many games you can play together for maximum enjoyment. 

Indoor activities usually mean a rousing round or two of your favorite board games. Pair up in teams for the ultimate competition. There are a seemingly infinite number of board games available today, so you are sure to find a handful that sparks childhood nostalgia or garner newfound interest. Another fun option for those looking for higher stakes is poker. Keep it all in good fun and play for pocket change to maintain a light-hearted atmosphere.

If the weather is agreeable, move the activities outdoors. More active games such as cornhole and ladder toss can be played in pairs or individually. There are fun things to do if snow is in the forecast, too. Even as adults, an old-school snowball fight will bring out smiles, laughter, and new memories to share.

Another fun idea is to set up a backyard movie theater. Grab some blankets and settle in for a cozy evening together. If you want to take your movie-watching experience to the next level, take a look at this ultimate backyard movie theater video.

Prepare Your Home

With all of the multiple reasons for your guests needing to stay over after a fun day or evening spent at your home, you must get it ready ahead of time. In anticipation of your family and friends having too much to drink or so thoroughly enjoying your wonderful company, take some time out of your day to put things in order.

Clean your home ahead of time and give yourself plenty of time to accomplish this task. Make sure you clean the areas that overnight guests will have access to, not just the party areas so that you are not left cleaning at the last minute and have to miss out on the fun. Have the beds made with fresh blankets and sheets. Stock the bathrooms with all of the necessities like toilet paper, soaps and shampoos, and towels, etc. Your guests will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Stock up your fridge or cooler with a crisp, clean lager. Fire up the oven or grill and get ready to enjoy family and friends again
