How to Throw a High School Party

Disclaimer: We are not condoning underage drinking in any way or form. It is important that you consult the adults in your life – parents, or guardians – before throwing a party that will allow alcohol.

2. SETTING UP

Setting up for the party happens when you are getting closer to the day of the party. These are final preparations that you put into your party to make sure everything is in order and that you throw a crazy good high school party.

CLEAN UP

Before your guests arrive, make sure that you clean up the venue that your parents have allowed you to throw the party. This might be as simple as moving a couple of furniture around – or as elaborate as disinfecting the place. The goal is to have your party in a clean and sanitary environment.

PUT UP DECORATIONS

After you have cleaned up, it is time to set up the decoration. The decorations will depend on the theme of the party. And if the party does not have a theme, you can stick to the generic decorations of multicolored balloons and confetti.

BRING OUT FOOD

When the decorations have been set up, it is time to bring out the food. You will put the punch in a punch bowl, and the chips and dip in separate bowls as well. You will need side plates and cups, too. All this will conveniently sit at one table which is accessible easily to all your guests.

TURN UP THE MUSIC

Now that all the hard work is done, it is time to bring out the music. You may want to create a special playlist for your party or you can find playlists online streaming platforms such as Apple Music or Deezer Music. Choose music that your peers will relate to and also music that you enjoy. You can either choose to control the music throughout the party or you can let one of your friends help you with the music while you play host to your guests.

3. WRAPPING UP

The party was a success but like all good things, it must come to an end. How do you end a high school party especially when you have people who do not want the party to end just yet? – trust us, there is always that one person that never wants to leave a party – which is a good sign for you because it means that you threw a very memorable party that will be one of the best high school party stories in the near future.

TELL PEOPLE TO LEAVE

Tell people to leave politely when it is time for the party to end. However, in the event that no one wants to leave after you ask nicely, you may turn off the music – turning off the music is a clear sign that the party is over and people will start leaving soon after. Alternatively, you can begin to hide all the leftover food and drinks and start telling people that you have run out. Eventually, they will start leaving to go look for another party that has food. Or go home where there is definitely some food.

CLEAN UP

After your guests leave, it is time to clean up after the party. Which means pick up the trash, put away the leftover food and drinks, and sweep and mop the floor. You may choose to do half the work right after the party and finish off the rest in the morning or do all the work the next morning – the choice is yours!
