A Few Ideas

Bag set

A bags tournament is the perfect way to keep the party chill.

Deck of cards

Playing cards is both fun and social. Offering a deck of cards will help guests break the ice with one another and encourage them to socialize.

Decorations (if themed)

 A few decorations around the house or outside can set the stage for a great night. A few themed ideas: decade party (60s or 70s), holiday party, formal party, or a barbeque.

Extra toilet paper

Keep guests from scrounging for the necessities by putting extra rolls in the bathroom.

Ice

Nothing is worse than drinking warm beverages. Having a bag of ice around will help keep beverages chilled.

Keg

A keg holds 165 12-oz. cups. To find out specific keg regulations and how to obtain a keg permit, call your nearest liquor store. If you do not have a keg permit, you will face either a state or city ordinance violation, resulting in hefty fines.

Lights for outside

If planning to have an outside party, proper lighting is necessary. Proficient lighting will keep those dark and creepy corners bright and safe, but be careful of going overboard. Your neighbors won’t appreciate the extra bright lighting in their bedroom windows.

Mixers

Juices are an excellent addition to any party. They taste great and can be used to mix non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Plus, a glass of juice between drinks will help keep you and your guests’ blood-alcohol concentration at a lower level.

Non-alcoholic drinks

Whether it’s juice-champagne, pop, or non-alcoholic beer, serving non-alcoholic drinks is a plus. You’ll be accommodating the tastes of friends who choose not to drink while providing an alternative to those needing to slow down on their alcohol consumption.
