We have long been tired of traditional feasts,when the table in the middle of the room is bursting with treats, and the holiday eventually turns into a banal and boring get-together. Of course, there are situations when something else would simply be inappropriate - grandfather's anniversary, for example. But if you are celebrating a housewarming, a meeting of friends or a long-awaited Friday, an ordinary feast can be turned into an unusual party, you just need to fantasize a little. A cocktail party is exactly the option that provides the hosts with a flight of fantasy in the matter of organizing a holiday, and guests with a lot of positive emotions and unusual photos that will decorate not only social network albums, but will also remain as a memory.
A party about ...
Cocktail Party Scenariodepends primarily on the celebration. For example, you decided to throw a party in honor of a birthday or housewarming. Such holidays are celebrated on a grand scale, so be prepared to think through and prepare everything in advance. So, you are clearly saving on hot dishes and salads, so you can afford to order a colorful bartender show - flairing. This recently popular performance consists of a competition of bartenders (or a performance by one professional), who demonstrate their art of making cocktails, juggling glasses, shakers and bottles, arranging them in a pyramid or simply rotating them. Many bartenders use fire in their performances, which, of course, looks very impressive. Flaring can be ordered from any holiday agency. Of course, you should not contact the first one you come across, be sure to consult with friends or at least read reviews about the agency you trust with your holiday. So, we figured out the highlight of the program. What else should be taken into account? Dimmed lights, music, you can add lighting effects. For example, a disco ball is a seemingly insignificant detail, but the appearance of the room where the party will take place will become noticeably more original. Among the competitions, making cocktails according to your own recipes is popular; surely each of your guests has a favorite drink. And at the end - tasting and determining the winner. You can hold a competition for the best name for cocktails. And if you still ordered flair, the bartender can help you, for example, he will hold a master class on making cocktails or building pyramids. Guests will not notice how time flies.
Party for no reason…
If the cocktail party is organized byFor a less grand occasion, such as just a meeting of friends, such a wide scope is not necessary. But here too, you need to think through the details so that no one gets bored. First of all, the dress code. You are the hostess and you choose how you want to see your friends, but since the party is a cocktail party and your guests are most likely young, let it be bathing suits. And if your meeting is taking place in a country house with a swimming pool, the fun will be a success, believe me! After all, such an appearance in itself is conducive to casual communication and fun. Since there is no special reason for the meeting and no hero of the occasion, you can agree with everyone to come with symbolic gifts, a set of shot glasses or a funny scarf, for example. Put all these souvenirs in one big bag, like Santa Claus, and let each guest pull out a small gift for themselves with their own hand. In this matter, guests usually show miracles of imagination, so everyone will be satisfied.
What to submit to the table?
The good thing about having a cocktail party at home is thatthe hostess will not have to fuss around the kitchen for days, circling around the stove and cutting boards. You only need to take care of the snacks. Canapes have always been considered the best option - pieces of cheese, olives, sausage or fruit strung on a stick. Sushi is also popular today, although you can order them. You can also make a lot of small sandwiches with various ingredients. Do not forget about sweets - cookies, candies and ice cream will definitely not be superfluous. The choice of cocktails may depend, for example, on the time of year. If the holiday is held in the cool season, no one will refuse hot aromatic mulled wine, if it is warm outside - there is nothing better than mojito. You can also make such simple cocktails as pina colada and margarita, or come up with your own original recipe. Never rule out the possibility that one of your friends will not drink alcohol. Juices, mineral water or non-alcoholic cocktails will be appreciated by everyone who is driving. In conclusion, I would like to add that a theme party is a win-win option for many holidays. Of course, originality does not come without responsibility, but you will be forgiven for any shortcoming and will be grateful for a fun time spent in an unusual setting. After all, instead of once again overeating, leaning back in a chair and dreaming about a bed, your guests will actively communicate and dance.
