Today I feel like writing something, so I came up with this 101 about organizing cool parties.
Before starting, I'd like to give you a warning:
DON'T ORGANIZE A HUGE PARTY IF:
1. You're worried about your parents coming home at a certain time. Be sure to have your house free until the following afternoon.
2. You don't live in a big house.
3. You're perceived as a geek/nerd/loser. People may not come and you'll have wasted lots of money. Or they may come just to make some mess in your house.
4. You don't have much money (you'll get it back during the party, but you have to spend something to buy drinks and stuff).
BEFORE THE PARTY
1. Raise some money with your friends. You'll need around 300$ to have a really good party. To convince them, make something like this: let's say you want to raise 300$. If someone gives you 60$ (that is 20% of the total), he will receive 20% of the total income of the party (which will probably be higher than 300$). It's like investing money: you may lose everything, but you may also double it.
2. Put in the basement everything that may get broken/stolen during the party.
3. Lock up every room (plus the basement) you don't want people to get into, like your parents' bedroom.
4. Go to your local liquor store and spend your money like this:
- 150$: The cheapest beer you can find.
- 100$: Vodka, Rum, Gin.
- 25$: Coke, Soda and non-alcoholic beverages.
- 25$: Pop-Corn, chips and something to eat.
5. Advertise the party a week before you throw it. Print some papers and stick them all around your school. Remember to write that everybody has to bring 5$ (less if you think more than 60 people will be there) and something to eat/drink.
6. The party should start around 9:00 pm.
DURING THE PARTY
7. Get some people to stay at the door (both guys and girls) until at least 1:00-2:00 AM to check that everybody brings something to eat/drink and money.
8. Don't get too drunk... Remember it's your house and you have to check everything is good until everybody goes away.
9. If someone looks like he's going to start some shìt, warn him that the next time he makes trouble he's going away.
10. Have fun.
AFTER THE PARTY
11. Have some people help you cleaning the house.
12. Share the money with your friends. If you managed to bring 200 people you have 700$ extra to share with your friends!
