What supplies are necessary for a party?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Table covers, center pieces, plates, cups, napkins, plasticware, lots of Balloons, party bags/favors, confetti, streamers, food, invitations, cake/deserts, extra chairs, drinks, ice, punch bowls, i think that about covers it. Since you have quite a few people coming, you might be better off buying in bulk. FDP is a good resource if you need a good store. Enjoy the party!

Music, something to eat and drink, clean and tidy bathrooms, outdoor space to smoke, ashtrays, chairs, tables, available cutlery, telephone (for emergencies), first aid kit (if possible, you never know), mirrors, enough space for everyone, ice (for the drinks), glasses, someone to help with cleaning (you might need, or you can do it yourself), cleaning products, garbage bins, lights and sound equipment.
