Unique House Parties: Have Your Next Fest at Home
NOVEMBER 11, 2008
Say yes to guests with the help of some party geniuses.
Whether the economic climate has got you thinking small, you'd prefer the personal touch of having friends and family gather at your place instead of a bar, restaurant or party venue, or if you're just not in the mood to leave the house, house parties never go out of style.
The lure of Vegas and the excitement of the poker table can create quite a memorable evening. Several New York City companies like Full House and Big Eastern Casino specialize in turning your pad into a private gambling den. If you'd get a kick out of surprising your guests with witches, vampires, stilt dancers or characters from your favorite Broadway play, The Magic Agency can fill your bill and more. Party 411 will help you decide on a theme from their seemingly endless idea pool (including luau, decades, Mardi Gras, and Hollywood), then help you create it.
And if you'd just like a little help with the menu, there are literally thousands of caterers to meet your crowd-feeding needs—Menus to Venues, for example, tries to fit event menus to the event's hosts with a wide variety of chefs on call.
