Throw The Hottest Parties Ever

So you're having a little get-together? No need to stress,here are some surprisingly simple tricks.

If you're serving beer, don't keep the bottles or cans in the fridge  they will be hard for people to access and take up too much space. Instead, pick up some colorful buckets at the dollar store, fill them with ice, and store drinks in them. If you place two tubs at either side of the room, you'll force people to move and mingle more as they go back and forth to get drinks.
Lighting is key for creating the whole mood of your gathering, and simply changing a few bulbs will truly transform your space. Screw in peach bulbs for a warm, sexy feel. Or try blue ones for a cooler, nightclub vibe.
When it comes to flowers, go big. Large, voluptuous buds fill up more space, so you'll need fewer of them than you would smaller blooms. For example, a single peony or hydrangea in a small bud vase will look much more impressive on your table than 10 little freesia flowers stuffed into a bigger vase.
Stack some fun, classic board games on a table within view of guests. Most people haven't played them since childhood, so they'll be psyched to break them out. Don't fear: Getting a round going is actually a quirky way to liven up your party and make it a night people remember.
Offer just one specialty drink. This way, you don't have to buy tons of mixers and alcohol. An easy cocktail: Add a dash of cranberry juice to some prosecco for a festive twist, stretch it by adding the juice.
For effortless extra seating, take any throw pillows you have, including ones from your bed, and
spread them out on your living room floor. It'll create a comfy and lounge-y or an exotic, Moroccan feel, depending on your pillows, and people won't just be standing around uncomfortably.
