House Party Essentials For Super Hosts
It’s the season of festivals and get-togethers, and a cozy house party is the best mode of getting together with your friends and family. Not only do you get to meet everyone in the comfort of your house, but you can minutely plan every detail such as lighting, music, food, and beverages. A house party is an opportunity to not just meet people freely but to also show off the things you are proud of - your lovely house, your cooking, or your collection of drinks perhaps.
But it’s not enough to have a space if you want to throw a memorable house party. Any good host will tell you that it’s crucial to stock up on a few essentials before you are ready to start entertaining guests.
But don’t panic if you don’t know where to start, because we at Bonhomie have got you covered. Our home and kitchen collections take care of all your hosting needs so you can relax and enjoy the company of your friends and family. All you need to do is scroll down to the list and order away!
The secret to throwing a successful party is a generous supply of beverages. And whiskey generally tops the list as the drink of choice for most adult connoisseurs. So if you have stocked up on the finest scotch whiskeys and maybe a few bourbons to be safe, don’t forget to serve them in style! These transparent whisky glasses from Bonhomie are a perfect way to enjoy your drink. The cut glass design makes the glass easy to hold, and yet the glasses are sturdy and long-lasting. This item comes in a set of 6 glasses and at this price, it’s quite a steal - so load up on these quickly!
No drinks are ever complete without accompanying dry snacks. So while you have ensured that you have an endless supply of beverages, also keep in mind that you’ll need to serve a variety of snacks - starting with easy ones like chips and nachos and going up all the way to elaborate cooked starters. No matter what your theme or menu is, it’s always best to invest in a few good pieces of serving bowls. This pair of black, stained glass serving bowls from Bonhomie will add a touch of elegance to any party.
When you’re hosting a gathering, however big or small, you should absolutely load up on paper napkins. Because even if it’s a house party and anyone can wash their hands any number of times, your guests will still need napkins - whether to wipe their hands or to hold their drinks. But keeping napkins handy is just part one. You can play around with the presentation to make even napkins into decor pieces. This gorgeous tissue holder from Bonhomie does just that - it has a nice vintage look of an old-school stereo, combined with a lovely teal color that is subdued yet enchanting.
While you would naturally want to serve fresh food, it’s always best to keep some stock of munchies nearby. And it’s best to store those munchies in clear glass jars so that they remain visible. Salted nuts such as peanuts, cashews, and almonds are always enjoyed by guests. Or you can store mouth fresheners in these. These pretty and rounded transparent glass jars from Bonhomie come with tight lids for maximum utility and can be used to store a variety of things for your guests.
What’s the first thing you serve when you have someone over? Water! Or juice, or coconut water… the options are endless. You can choose what you’d like to serve to your guests but one thing is certain - it’s always best to serve everything in style. These embossed glass tumblers from Bonhomie are so beautiful to look at that your guests might not even notice what they’re drinking!
A great party is all about setting the right mood, and fragrance plays a very important role when it comes to interior gatherings. Set a relaxed, laidback mood for your guests with this set of scented candles from Bonhomie. What’s more, these candles come in vibrant and colorful ceramic mugs that will add a generous dose of cheer and festivity to any room. These ceramic candle holders can be reused with different candles later or can be used as decor pieces by themselves.
Picture an intimate gathering of close friends, perhaps huddled around the fireplace or enjoying a match on your flatscreen TV. A carafe lets you serve your drinks in style, and, as a bonus, you won’t have to get up every other minute to replenish your guests’ drinks. This clear, round-bottomed carafe from Bonhomie comes with four round glasses to complete the setting.
So you see, hosting a great party is easy with Bonhomie. Go ahead and stock up on all these house party essentials before your next big bash!
