It can be quite frustrating to watch your party drag on into the early hours of the morning. After all, this only means more cleaning and less sleep for you to contend with. Luckily, there are several surefire ways to make sure that your guests don’t outstay their welcome. Without being a proper party pooper who has to say ‘enough is enough’, here are four ways to ensure that your bash ends at a reasonable time.
Invitations
It’s quite direct to tell someone face-to-face that you expect them to be out of your house by a certain time. Meanwhile, party invitations can do the job for you. Putty Print’s can be customised to include key information such as the party’s address, date and the oh-so important end time. For example, these birthday party invitations can be personalised to say that the fun ends at any hour you want.
Choose the day wisely
Don’t be locked into holding your party on a Saturday. After all, people usually grow tired on a Friday night after a long working week – and this may have them calling it a night by 11pm. As well, a Sunday should mean that the fun draws to an end somewhat early as guests start looking ahead to Monday morning.
Change the music
Lively, high-tempo songs are ideal for injecting some life into people as they first walk through the door. Oppositely, you should find that guests are more likely to sense when the fun is about to be over if you gradually switch to mellow tracks that are slow and quiet.
Stop offering food and drink
Snacks and beverages should be served early when the party is in its peak hour. At some point you shouldn’t feel afraid to stop asking people ‘would you like a re-fill?’, as this question will send the wrong message.
It’s party time!
There’s no shame in admitting that you want to contain your party within a reasonable timeframe. Therefore, rather than letting it get out of hand and surpass what you had in mind, follow these tips to ensure that the fun ends when you want it to. Remember, you can clearly outline such details with our range of fabulous invitations.
