Things to do at a Party
Are you an introvert by nature and find yourself feeling sort of awkward at a party? We give you some suggestions for things to do at a party to make sure you will not find yourself feeling out of place henceforth.
Now who doesn't love to attend or host parties! Parties are a great way to catch up with old friends or meet new people. As a host, planning a party requires one to be well-organized as well as innovative. From thinking about the food to planning for the games, making the guest list in addition to a list of other requirements, the host needs to be on her/his toes to ensure everything goes off smoothly.
As a guest, parties offer the perfect opportunity to take a break from the hectic schedule and have some fun. Personally, I love attending parties and meeting people. However, I know many who shy away from attending any kind of party. They feel pretty awkward at such dos, like it's not their cup of tea.
Ways to Enjoy a Party
There are many ways to enjoy a party, and make the most of the opportunity. Here's how...
Let Your Hair Down
Do you define parties as boring? It's time to think again. Whether you have at least one good friend with you at the party or you are alone, a definite way to have some fun is to hit the dance floor. For those of you who feel conscious, please stop thinking about others. Rather, head to the dance floor and lose yourself to the music. Dance the night away in style and you might find a few admirers or even a dance partner if you are alone, on the dance floor.
Play Fun Games
All you do is look at other people having fun at a party? Most often, games are an integral part of parties, and one of the most fun things to do! So why should you stop yourself from taking part? And who knows, you may even win a few games. Besides, it's also a great way to be next to that cute person you so want to get introduced to!
Devour the Food
For someone who is a foodie, nothing is more fun at a party than heading for the food table. Sometimes, certain hosts also opt for a do-it-yourself option when it comes to food. If you are attending such a party, you can try some creative combinations with the food. Parties are also a good opportunity for you to try out different types of food. If alcohol is being served, you can also experiment with food and alcohol pairings.
Socialize with Others
Do you find it difficult to make friends? Then, this is an excellent opportunity for you to meet new people. If you are close to the host, you can also ask her/him to introduce you to some like-minded people. Or the best option is to try to strike up a conversation with the other guests that you find interesting.
Help to Clear Up
If you share a great relation with the host, you can be kind and offer to help her/him during the party, especially towards the end, to clear the mess. Your host would surely appreciate the extra help that would definitely be required once the party is over!
Some Quirky Options
When attending a close friend or family member's party, you can have some extra fun by trying out these funny and quirky ideas.
Be it a fun cocktail party or an enjoyable birthday party, these events are great to leave your work-related or any other stress behind and just have some fun. So shed your inhibitions and make the most of the opportunity!- When someone asks you a boring question, reply in a foreign accent. You could try a different accent with different people. (Be ready for the cold stares!)
- Think of a word in your mind and every time you or someone else says that word do a little dance right where you are!
- Each time a new guest arrives, go up to them and sing I'm a little teapot.
- You could also try imitating people! (Only people you are close to)
- Say everything like you're singing a song!
