host an EPIC EOY party

We at ivivva like to think we know how to throw a pretty sweet party. Here’s how you can go down in history as having thrown the most EPIC End of Year Party ever!!!

Ready? Set. Get started!

Step 1: Set Up for Success

  • Find a venue that’s close by. Massive backyard? Local beach? If you’re outdoors – make sure you have a back up plan if it rains.
  • Parents permission (nothing kills a party faster than an angry parent!)
  • Set up a Facebook event with all of the deets. Unless you want the entire school showing up, make it CLOSED so only people you invite can see it. :)

Step 2: Pick Your Theme

  • Hunger Games – Who doesn’t want to be Katniss for a day??
  • Red Carpet – Have everyone show up as their fav performer. Maybe that cute guy from class will suddenly look a lot like Harry Styles…
  • Hawaiian luau – A classic summer theme + always a ton of fun. Nothing says summer party like grass skirts and leis.
  • Binder shredding party – ‘Nuff said.

Step 3: Music + Entertainment

Awesome music = lots of dancing, which means amazing party.

  • Instead of spending all your cash on an in-house DJ, download the most popular DJ app on itunes: Djay
  • Will mix awesome tunes for you – even with DJ spinning effects – and make your party sound totally pro.

  • Into games? Throw an impromptu dance contest, grab a deck of cards, or set up a volleyball net and ball. If that sounds like too much work, just sit back with the great food, drinks and friends you’ve invited and enjoy. :)

Step 4: Food + Drinks

  • Go mini! Everything is better bite size. Think slider burgers, miniature hot dogs, baby carrots, and cupcakes.

  • Do everything ahead of time. Prepare the food ahead of time, and have a buffet set-up on your kitchen/picnic table. That way when your friends arrive you can chill out and have a great time.
  • A dessert bar makes everything more fun.
  • Make a fresh fruit punch with sliced oranges and lemons - tastes awesome and adds colour to your table.

 

Step 5: Decorations

Epic parties are all in the details. Decorations let your guests know you put in that extra effort to make your party one to remember.

  • Paper lanterns.
  • Twinkle lights (aka white Christmas lights).
  • Colourful paper plates, napkins, table cloths.
  • Hang paper streamers, pom poms or garlands from the ceiling or trees.

Happy planning ivivva girls! We know your party is going to be a huge success. Let us know how it goes!
