Are you my neighbor? then you're invited ;)?
I've just moved into a new neighborhood. Am thinking of throwing a party either in december or January to get to know most of the neighbors. Any suggestion from those who have thrown a party for 50- 70 people? Thanks! :)
Answers:
I would suggest a block party outside. We do one every year. There is a chili cookoff contest where the guys make the chili and the women taste test it, there are games for kids, we set out fire pits in the street and hang out all night. It is a good time.
I agree, do it after the holidays!
Go with January. People are overloaded with holiday parties from Thanksgiving to New Years and it'll be hard getting a lot of people together in December. Check online for basic snack ideas like dips and different punches. You could also make it a potluck party and welcome your neighbors by asking them to bring their favorite dish to share with their neighbors and have a good time catching up.
I SUGGEST YOU DONT DO IT AT YOUR HOUSE. YOU WILL BE MISERABLE DURING AND AFTER WHEN CLEANUP TIME COMES.
I agree with Old Wise One, but I would not do a potluck, since its your party I would pony up the $ and provide the food and drinks....just make sure they RSVP>
id day to do it in january....and just buy like snacks....chips, crackers, drinks, little ceasar's pizza, you know cheap stuff....after all its a party! people are gonna be drinking more than anything....as long as there is something there to munch on its all good!! just make sure you have enough or the party will end really early!:]

yes i would im ken 931-743-1372
Two things I have learned .
1 have the party at a hall or banquet room
no messy house or kitchen.
2, If there is going to be alcohol. don't have a fancy dinner or fancy foods. people tend to drink too much and aren't hungry or they waste the food.
So go easy ..
Vegetable trays.. pin wheel sandwiches. chips , salsa and dips
I wouldn't be too much on the sweets ..drinkers don't like sweets then.
