How to make a party and not stress about everything

There is always a certain period of growing up where you start getting experience and get some lesson out of this experience. One of these lessons is to through a huge (small) party at your place. I mean huge that you know that tomorrow morning your place going to be nasty. But you do this on purpose; you haven’t been wasted for months and you miss this feeling. Also you want to do this because you’ve been already at the house parties and it’s your turn now! So follow these tips to smash this night! It is easy! Depending on your situation you can miss one or two, if you wish so of course.

Step I

Prepare your place

Make sure that in the apartment there are no dirty socks under coffee table or some uneaten pizza slice near your music decks. Also good idea is to clean your floor. Not to wash properly, but to sweep at least.  Make sure that you toilet doesn’t smell like public toilet. Clean it! You expect some girls coming (I hope that you expect them!!!). Don’t clean your place like you do before your parents are visiting you. Do it like it is like it is all the time like this: nice and stylish. Don’t forget to prepare some unused t-shirt or old rag, so others can swipe with it, if they spoil a drink. Empty your garbage been, it’s going to be full over the top in the morning; also it will make your life easier. You can prepare as well some extra garbage bag. Peeps will notice your effort and will make it less nasty, may be…

Step II

Wash your dishes!!!

It even can be just few dishes and cups but wash them before the party. You will have so many empty, dirty glasses in the morning, so it will make your life a bit easier with hangover. However I bet that there is just few dishes. There also should be some pan left two days ago when you were making pasta for dine, empty cereal pots. Wash them, please!!! Empty and clean sink will make your apartment much more intelligent.

Step III

Hide your belongings

Remember that sweet, nice last 64GB IPad with 3G  which your friend used to have before (s)he threw a party? If so, just get your valuable things together and place them in some safe place you can come up with. Don’t say, ‘I know all people, they are good and I can trust them.’ There are always some unexpected guests during the parties who come with their friends (plus one, or sometimes plus two, three, four and bunch). And what are you going to do after all? Not to let in every unknown guy?! When you already under good booze. There is one word in alcohol, it’s YES. So, keep you gadgets safe and this vase from grandma too.

Step IV 

Make a wardrobe

Probably your tiny one bedroom apartment or share house doesn’t have huge wardrobe for fifteen jackets and coats. Get some free space on your bed or other place. It’s going to be comfortable for everyone and for you as well.

Step V

Give at least 24h notice to your neighbors

Not room-mates because they’re probably into to a party already. Anyhow you need to warn your neighbors that you through a party in a perfect way so they won’t call police. Do this personally by knocking to their doors and politely explain the situation or make a nice text and place it at the front door of a house. If you hold party today and forgot to warn them, visit your neighbors personally! It’s not a biggie also they’re going to be pleased that you care about them. Just say you have some sort of occasion to do so (just lie to them if you needed). Don’t be too detailed about it but also maintain the dialogue for a bit. I bet they won’t be against it. If not just say them that they need to accept this fact and there are no other way to go about it. Don’t be rude though. At least you have warned them. You did what grown up people do! And you have another nice excuse for the officers not to give you a fine. You warned the neighbors!

Step VI 

Make sure that somebody will pass out during the night.

RULE #1 person who passes out at the party stays there and helps to clean the place next morning and also you can make fun of them. Because you surely will need some extra help next morning, so do not hesitate to offer another drink. Also it is good thing to share some beer (joint) after you cleaned the place next day and to remember all crazy things that person made last night.

Step VII 

Prepare your liver and some drinking games

Drink one or two shots half an hour before the party. Your body gets a message that it’s going to be tough night and will start getting ready for it. This also will calm you down a bit. I think nobody expects a beer-pong at your place. But there are a dozen of other nice drinking games to ice-break the crowd. One of them is Kings Cup.

Step VIII 

Enjoy the party

Don’t be that host who forbidden everybody to do some crazy fun. Relax! May be it is last and first time you do this. Remember this night. After ten years this is something you will keep remember and not much other stuff like playing monopoly. Don’t waste your time, enjoy your life to its fullest.
