Serve martinis, gin and tonics, and a variety of kooky, kitschy mixed drinks. Be creative in decorating your party - place tiki lamps on tables and around the room, and put floating candles in martini glasses to use as centerpieces. As for furniture, plush, velvet circular sofas and Naugahyde chairs are perfect. Keep the party dimly lit to re-create the lounge atmosphere. In addition to candles and lamps, install a few colored lightbulbs around the room to enhance the mood.
Music can make or break a lounge party, so play only the finest in lounge tunes.
Modulate the volume so that your guests can converse as well. Check out the vintage tunes of Esquivel or the more modern Tiki Tones. Check your local thrift store for chic and inexpensive decorating items. Excessive exposure to the lounge lifestyle can lead to super-smoothness. Inc. How things get done.
