When you decide to throw a party, choosing who to invite is just the beginning. Next you have to choose the music, food, and drinks. You might even want to give your party a theme, or move your furniture around to make it easier for people to mingle or dance. It all depends on how much of a planner you are when it comes to throwing parties.

I don’t like to throw parties and I live in a small place where I can’t have a party. But my best friend Stefan has a nice apartment on the first floor where we celebrated a New Year’s eve party. At twelve we looked out of the window and saw the fireworks. We did a lot of planning for that party. Especially on food, alcoholfree drinks and music. My friend Bianca and I danced a lot.

My house is too small for having parties, instead I preffer to rent a place. Besides I’m very bussy most time and I don’t have time for planning much, unless it is a big and memmorable event in my life.

cleaning up while the parting is holding is really weird.


If I were one of the guest, I might be sort of embarrassed.


pretty much weird= =

I’m not a big planner, but planning may be needed for throwing a party to mingle and be low key. at first, it can be go as what a host wants. but soon or later it goes with the flow. i think it’s good. maybe it turns into a rager.

I threw parties only few times in my life and I more like Jason, I like to go with the flow and let people decide what kind of party they want. Maybe that’s because I am more spontaneous and I like improvisation.

My wife is a good planner, she is always in charge of organizing everything when we decide to throw a party at our place! I’m the one who mingles.

In Brazil we like to throwing parties, so always i throw parties in my house.


Is really difficult to choose de song, the people who invited, and worst thing is the messy to clean in the next day

I don’t like to throw parties I rather prefer going to them :)).


But I think if I ever threw a partie I would be a big planner just like Marni. I like to have all set but I also think that cleaning while party is happening isn’t the best idea, beacuse we’re losing our party! On the other hand having such passive attitude as Jason isn’t good as well. So, I can finally claim that I would be someone between Jason and Marni.

In my area we don’t go to parties we only do what we called ‘walima’ a word derived from Arabic languagebut it is totally different from party.

We don’t have really so-called party here, What we have is a casual meeting together with  friends or strangers. Everyone just chats , drinks and sometimes eats. We are just enjoying the moment of talking and relaxing. I think that would be all for what we so call a party.
