Thus we are forced to conclude that society is one of those brews such as skilled housekeepers serve hot about Christmas time, whose flavour depends upon the proper mixing and stirring of a dozen different ingredients. Take one out, and it is in itself insipid. There are several ingredients that combine and entwine to achieve mythic party memories. To establish yours, first you have to figure out what kind of party you want. Then, pick the appropriate components to achieve your desired effect.
Invitations Get the party started right with an invitation that's more creative than an e-vite.
For a birthday party, scribble the details on a deflated balloon and pop it into the mail. Use formal place cards for a swanky drink fest, theme post cards for Halloween and the Superbowl, or a packet of Kleenex for a going-away party. People Don't recycle last party's guest list, thereby relying on the same old crowd. Also pay attention to the male to female ratio, the singles versus couples, gay and straight. Just like a smooth cocktail, mixing the crowd is a fine balance, but quite easy to suit your tastes.
