5 Ways To Create A Calm, Cool Party Vibe

Spring party planning season is officially in full swing. But fear not. We’ve found five simple ways you can create a calm, cool party vibe – and have loads of fun in the process.

Opt for effortless and easy decorating that will put your guests at ease the moment they enter your door. Avoid an overly formal, hyper-themed and color-coordinated scene that signals a no-fun, uptight zone. Use soft area lighting or candles in safe and secure holders, and consider switching out bulbs to tinted illumination. Diffuse an essential oil such as ylang ylang to help calm nerves for both yourself and your guests.

Remember: it’s easier to host a great party at which everyone is comfortable than it is to achieve perfection. Focus on making introductions, smiling and circulating throughout your event. Plan ahead with an icebreaker game, easy food and beverage selections and signature parting gifts. Homemade mist or bath salts will commemorate the chill vibe at your party.

Organize food that holds at room temperature ahead of time. Consider preparing one signature item and buy the rest. Snacks could include a selection of gourmet nuts, confections, a bamboo tray of cheeses, bowls of marinated olives, heirloom vegetable crudités, etc.

Ask guests to bring modest items such as ice, garnishes for cocktails, bar snacks, a bottle of wine, or even portable dessert. Or, ask for help before, during or after the party. Choose natural, minimalist decorations such as a big, unarranged market bouquet of seasonal flowers, broken down into individual informally arranged bouquets. Book affordable entertainment by asking your niece, nephew, uncle, cousin or best friend to show off his or her talents.
