4 Tips For Throwing an Iconic Post-Lockdown Party

It's been a grueling few months since the start of 2020, with the COVID-19 outbreak limiting mobility, social life and making things quite challenging for most people across the world.

 


With strict measures and recommendations to avoid socializing, being in public has come with a lot of emphasis on social distancing. But with the situation improving and many of us learning how to safely socialize with friends and family, it’s the perfect time to host your post-lockdown party with your favorite people!

 

If you’re not sure about how you’ll host them, here are some fool-proof tips and tricks:

1. Make sure to curb the guest list at a safe number.

Remember that it’s still not completely safe, so you shouldn’t be partying like it’s 2012 yet. Keep your guest list to a few people you love and trust—people who've been practicing social distancing, avoiding large crowds and have not recently been exposed.

Also, be sure there's enough space in your home for everyone to distance themselves and avoid feeling cramped and cooped up. Not everyone will feel comfortable or safe while in close proximity to others.

2. Invest in some fun themed décor to liven it up

You don't have to throw an elaborate party, but it helps to set the mood with a theme! You could try something simple and fun, like playing around with colors, to make things livelier. It can be awkward to navigate social settings after months at home, so having a theme could put them in the mood and make them feel more at ease. Get streamers, balloons, or choose more adult décor like flowers. 



3. Get the right food and drinks for your guests.

Food is the heart and soul of any gathering, and if you’re meeting after a long time, boring old chips and crackers won't cut it. Treat your loved ones to something more exciting and order beef or chicken empanadas, or delicious devil crabs and some island punch to go with it. You can give Pappy Devil Crabs a call if you're in Tampa, FL, and they'll get you the best food you could imagine!

 

4. Create the perfect party playlist to set the mood

Last but not least: you need to figure out what you're doing for music! It's absolutely essential to have the right music for your party, whether that's mellow jazz, fun pop, or dance tunes. It's a great mood setter, conversation starter, and most definitely a party essential. So get started on that playlist today!

 

It could help to have some games and other interactive activities too, giving everyone something to do if they're not feeling chatty or uneasy with the socializing. It all depends on you and your guests! Just remember to be safe, be responsible, and prioritize your health.
