 | First and most important: Know your surroundings. Whether its nosy neighbors, RA's or RD's, parents or even the police know the people you could deal with and figure out ways to handle them beforehand. |
 | Figure out what you need to drink (always get more than you expect) and make sure before you get it that you have a way to store it (if its cold outside, a bathtub with ice, (unused) trashcan with ice, etc). |
 | Also, if you really wanna impress the females, mixed drinks and other non-beer beverages are a good idea (Check out our Mixed Drinks Section on how to make some). |
 | Besides what to drink make sure you plan for other stuff like paper towels, cups and stuff. |
 | Go around and tell people you know and like about your party. Its impossible to make it only people you like, but figure it like this, the more people you ask that you like the better the % of people there you will like. |
 | Have a few different things to do such as dancing, games, and other interactive things. |
 | If your party is dead, liven things up. Introduce people and start talking to people so your "guests" blood starts flowing again. |
 | Keep your eye out for trouble situations so you can stop them before they begin (i.e. fights, overflowing and stuff). |
 | When it the crashing hour approaches, have a way to get rid of unwanted stragglers. The blunt approach can work, but if worse comes to worse just tell them you got a call complaining about the noise and you have to break it up. (They will be too fired up to notice). |
 | Ahhh the clean up. The most unanticipated part of any party. Make sure to have plenty of trash bags and expect a ton of floaters to empty out, make sure you have access to a sink, or through the floaters in a pitcher or something ... and just pray no one threw up the night before. |
