Planning the

There's no better way to have fun than by throwing a party. Everyone loves to spend time with their friends and have fun in a relaxed atmosphere. However, as anyone who has ever thrown a party will know, a lot of hard work goes into hosting a party, and it is not always easy to make sure everyone has a good time. The following tips will help you to plan the perfect party.

• Parties need to be planned carefully. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to prepare for your party. Make a list of everything you need to do and be organised, because things can get very busy as the day of your party gets closer.

• If you are serving food at your party, choose foods which go together. You could pick a theme for your party and make food which fits that theme; for example, Mexican or Chinese. Make sure you don't serve foods which are

going to make a mess. Remember - you are the one who will have to clean it up the next day!

• Written invitations are a great idea, especially if you can make them fun or different. Don't forget to put important information like the time, date and address on your invitations. Tell your guests when the party starts and when it will end. Also, let them know if they should wear a certain type of clothes (e.g. fancy dress).

• You can use decorations, lighting and music to create the perfect party atmosphere. Choose your favourite music and play it in the background as your guests arrive. It is a good idea to remove your television if it is in the party area. You can also replace some of your lightbulbs with coloured lamps.

Just follow these simple steps and you are sure to have a fantastic party that everyone will enjoy! Good luck!

1 You should prepare for the party in advance.

2 You should serve foods with a mixture of themes.
