How to Create the Best Bash
So you've decided to host a wild ending to '07 and welcome in '08 with a bang - Great Idea! But how do you make it a success? Follow these handy tips and people will be talkin' about your gathering for months...Music Sets the Mood: Your choice of music selections deserves some careful thought and planning. Are you inviting mellow friends that want to sit and talk, or are you interested in getting those people dancing? Taste in music can be so varied, consider the tastes of the people that you're inviting, then cater to some of their favorites. Be very mindful of 11:30pm - this is when you want to elevate everyone's energy for the midnight hour - so liven up the tempo! Remember to: have about 6 hours of music pre-selected, keep the music flowing, cater to the different tastes.

Lighting is Key: Just like the music, your room lighting is an essential factor in creating partysuccess. Harsh lights can tire people out, softer lights add to the intimacy of the moment and encourage romance & slow dances. Use lightstrings to add to the mood, use colored lightbulbs in your tablelamps and bath fixtures.
Celebrate the World: Build anticipation for midnight by celebrating on the earlier hours - turn on the tv for the celebrations in various cities - here in chicago, we see that Europe starts celebrating 6 hours before we do. It's very cool to see how people are cheering all over the planet.

Monitor the Temperature: As the host you want to make certain that your guests are comfortable, but don't let them get sleepy. Adjust the temp so it's just slightly cooler - the bodies will add to the heat of the room. Also open a window for fresh air every now & then to keep the partypeople vibrant.
Games: Give your friends something to do. A good host will provide a variety of entertainment ideas without having to say a thing. Just put some games out on a table like Cranium, or Pictionary and let a go-getter start the gaming for you. My family always plays poker on this night. Think your friends are too sophisticated for Karaoke? After a few libations, everyone will think it's a hoot!

Get Some Help: Hosting an event can be rigorous. I've often paid my younger nieces and nephews to help set up and then run everything while I mingle and chat. Otherwise, monitoring the music, food and drinks can be an all-consuming task. Make it easy on yourself so you can enjoy your successful handywork!
