How to Throw the Best Party Ever Part VI

 

The dress code

Dress codes are a good idea to think about before you have your party. You wouldn’t want someone showing up with no shirt or shoes while someone else shows up in a nice suite. You can let your guests know on the invitations if its cocktail attiar, business casual, informal, or whatnot. This will also help your guests pick out what to wear for your event and let them know what to wear.

If you have a theme make sure all of your guest are aware of the theme and what the costume should involve. An easy way to go about this would be to include a picture on your invitation. If you are having a western themed event add in a picture of a cowboy and cowgirl and make sure to specify that your event is wild west themed.

If you have already sent out the invitations you can still let your guests know about the dress code.  Call, text, facebook message, or email them a reminded of the time, date, and place your event will be. This reminder gives you’re the perfect opportunity to inform them of the dress code as well.

Let your guests know who else is coming to your party. It will give them an idea of what to expect and possible how to dress. You don’t need to go out of your way to do this, but if someone asks it is polite to let them know.

They best piece of advice is to make sure your guests are comfortable. Even if you have picked a tricky theme letting them know enough time in advice should give them time to mentally prepare themselves. You want your guests comfortable.
