OK, youre having a party. You have the guest list prepared. You have a good idea of the menu. You even have a good idea of who youre going to invite. Now for the really important stuff. The party supplies.
Now, dont pretend you have no idea of what party supplies are. Im talking streamers, poppers and those funny costumes that everyone thinks are great on the night but cause so much embarrassment (Only joking). Seriously, though, some great accessories can really add a touch of fun to any party, even a dinner party, as long as it isnt too formal. Even if the party isnt fancy dress, the host dressing up in a costume for part of the evening can make for a real talking point.
And as for streamers, it doesnt have to be a Christmas or New Year party to get them out. A wild throwing about of some paper toward the end of the evening is always worth a giggle. (Try to ensure your guests help to tidy up afterwards and do watch the goldfish bowl!) Same with the poppers. Make the night go with a bang.
And dont forget the more mundane stuff, like coasters, or napkins. A good supply of coasters can protect the varnish on that new coffee table. And napkins are essential...
