Home Party Hosting Tips

Hosting a home partyMost everyone loves a good party. How do you make sure you host a good party? In real estate, they say success is “location, location, location”. In partying it’s “people, people, people.” In real estate, not everyone is located on the choice spot. And in partying, you have to make adjustments to the people.

Let’s guess that you are going to have a party of 60 or more people. That’s a considerable sized party. Even if it is just friends and co-workers, and everyone expects to bring items to make the party better, you have to have some control. If you aren’t hiring a party planner, you must do these few steps to make sure your party is great, and that your friends and co-workers have a wonderful time, and are safe.

Have the food professionally prepared.

With such a large number of people to feed, it is very trying to ensure food safety, and quality in a home environment. Caterers and restaurants are well prepared for making buffet amounts delicious food and have it ready in time for your party. Additionally, see if the restaurant has a person that will serve and clean up. It will be well worth the cost to keep your place tidy and organized.

Hire a bartender.

Everyone considers that they are a bartender. Even less desirable is when you as host allow your friends to tend bar. Who sets limits? Do you have any idea what the financial and not to mention the mental cost of allowing someone to over drink and then get involved in a collision? A professional bartender can keep this under control and assure your guests have quality drinks.

Hire a dj/kj for dancing or singing.

A disc jockey in control of the music will make sure the music hog that wants to play or sing only their kind of music won’t ruin your party for all the others.

Have professional entertainment

A magician, mentalist, psychic, fortune teller, black jack dealer or any of a number of entertainment choices will make sure your guests can have a special time and share with the other guests. Don’t go overboard, though. One entertainer with the appropriate music entertainment should be sufficient.

Hiring A Kids Party Magician

When you start looking for a good kids party magician, it can be tough. If you have never attempted a search like that, that makes it even tougher. Since you have landed here, I will show you the ropes, and help you miss the traps other searchers fall into when trying to find a good magician for their event. You can find a premier magician just by taking a few steps and searching in places that are closer to you than you might have expected. Let me explain.

If you know where to search, you can find the best party magician for your kids special event. Here are four things you should start doing, and that will get you right on track in finding the perfect magician. You can find a good magician with proper planning.

First, look to your neighbors and friends. “Seriously?” you ask. Yes, your neighbors and friends are a good starting point; here’s how. You can’t be everywhere, but with trusted sources such as those who care about your success may have a lead on someone they have seen. Maybe they went to dinner and saw a good magician at a local restaurant, and just because you asked they now get to relive their wonderful evening, and you get a terrific recommendation. You have a huge leg up in the process, because you already know this magician can and will perform.

Second, online searching. That doesn’t sound very easy, does it? If you know how to look, it is quite simple. Start by doing a search for “kids party magician” and be sure to add your location, i.e. “Dallas”. When you do this type of search, you will eliminate the magicians in other areas most of the time. Once you’ve got the listings, IF you look at the first few business listings, whether that is in Google, Yahoo, Bing or some other third party business listing service, you will find an area for reviews. This is significant. Look at the ratings and see if one listing has several reviews. If they are mostly good, but maybe one or two not so good, go ahead and look at the reviews to see if the magician responded. A response will mean someone who is professional and treats everyone with the courtesy of a response.

Third, you can reach out to the local professional associations for magicians. Now, if you live in a small town, it may not have a professional magicians association, but all larger cities will have one. This is a significant place to look, because they have standards that they want their professionals to adhere to. They don’t let just any person calling himself a professional magician join. Magic organizations have a code of conduct their members promise to abide by. This step will not guarantee a quality performance, but is certainly will provide a filter for eliminating the unprofessional for your kids party magic show.

Finally, take the time to have a quality budget. You don’t have to spend it ALL on the magic entertainment; but do keep in mind that you are looking for a quality magical experience for your kids special event.

You can find a good magician in Dallas TX that will entertain your kids at their birthday party magic show. All you have to do is look in the right places. Some of the places you look might surprise you, but when you do, the search will yield a great experience for you and your kids.
