You want enough music to have music playing during your entire party so it's important to think about the length of the party when you make a playlist. The music should start with mellow songs that give a relaxed feel as guests arrive. As the night goes on, the music should start to pick up with faster music to encourage dancing. You can end the night with music that's a bit slower and more calming. Try using an online radio to create your own station and play music all night long. You can also tell your guests to create their own playlist and take turns playing them at the party. It's important to think about the type of party you're having when you consider what music to play. If you want people to be dancing, you should play fun, upbeat music and include songs that have their own dance like the Silento's "Watch Me". For a smaller more intimate party, have the music playing softly in the background. When you're having a larger house party, it's a good idea to hire a DJ or have a live band perform. A DJ will play continuous music to keep the fun going during your party. A live band is a great addition to a house party and makes guests feel like they're at a private concert. This will help achieve a lively party vibe where everyone is having fun.
