Make it Interactive
Anytime that you can build activity into a party your guests become involved and keep themselves entertained. Play a game, have some craft supplies, or get them cooking. Interactivity gets people talking and allows them to loosen up. Make sure you hold their dinner or drinks captive until they participate.
Introduce people
You can never introduce people too much. It helps people to remember names and can create kind of a joke about your over-enthusiastic introduction activities. When you introduce somebody attempt to throw a conversation bone in along with your verbal launch.
This is Bill, he just had a baby, or changed jobs, or went on a vacation. When you introduce the other person back throw in another conversation bone, like how you met them or their favorite hobby.|
Nametags help a lot but people don't always want to wear one.
You can sometimes encourage folks to place their name and their fantasy nickname.
This is a great conversation starter and inspires people to keep their name tag on.
Add a Theme
For some people getting involved in a theme is too far out of the comfort zone. But most of the time it works. Have some extra props so that if some people come over unprepared you can easily help them to be a part of it. If you have a western party; have a half a dozen scarves available or whatever you can use to dress them up according to your theme. Your guests will have no excuse not to play along.Invite Interesting People
Try to invite interesting people. Even if there are some boring ones kicking around the interesting ones will certainly liven it up.
Food
When clean up comes around to get everybody involved. Instead of waking up to a stack of dishes that can block the sun; I ask as many people as possible to help clean up. It takes 2 minutes as a team or two hours by yourself. Crank some cleansing music and everyone are going to be happy to possess it out of the approach.
If nobody wants to help just hold their dessert hostage.
Organize
Make sure you have got everything for your par' tay. Music, paper plates, ice, name tags, a food preparation plan or whatever it is that you need. So many parties are ruined by forgetting to defrost something, no party music or some other detail. It may not ruin the evening however it will build your get along medium on the amusement scale. Make sure you have everything you need.
