What You Need to Pull Up a Successful Party in Brisbane This 2023

Creating an event and managing it as a host is not for everyone. It takes skill, patience, time management and a knack for creativity to keep your guests happy and make your party memorable in Brisbane.

Fortunately, we have the tips and tricks to start partying in Brisbane today!

 

Get a Dazzling Venue

If you're not planning a party at your home today, get the best places to set up a party in Brisbane. Check out our suggested venues and places your friends can enjoy in Brisbane.

 

The Charming Squire

The Charming Squire is a great place to party as adults. Get less stress as this venue offers picturesque architecture to fill your eyes in and enticing foods, drinks, and even a private room for a memorable night. Be sure to get those Instagrammable shots before leaving the place.

 

Smoked Garage

BrewDog Fortitude Valley

Up for a wild night of drinks and warm meat? Head up to BrewDog Fortitude Valley, the loudest bar in town! This enormous hangout caters to a large group with its seemingly unlimited selection of beers, cocktails and food! Moreover, they have in-house pinball machines and games you can play and place bets with!

Spread Your Invitations Like a Circus!

Selecting your guests can be anxious. However, we suggest going with the flow and not being afraid to send invitations to close friends, workmates, colleagues and anyone you like. The magic of this is that we socialize and keep the party going. This also opens up a chance to make new friends altogether.

 

Embrace the Music

Music matters at a party, whether you're in a venue or your house. The music can help bring people into the mood depending on the theme you're planning. Do you want a loungy, elegant mood for parties? Get into modern or vintage jazz. What about wild and active dance parties? EDM, house, and remixes are what we suggest.

If choosing the music doesn't suit you, get a DJ instead, or grab a friend who's into parties and let them handle the music.

 

Excess is The Key

Too many drinks, food, and wine are the key to a successful party. It's a killjoy when you run out of food, and no guest wants to think about that. Be prepared to add catering or a tremendous amount of food to the table.

If that is out of your budget or you're catering for a small group, you can always get a cocktail event instead and provide snacks.

 

Set Properly With Lighting

Lighting is undervalued when planning for parties, and you need to understand how lighting can help you pull off a successful party. Simply put, lighting improves your guest's mood and guides them to where the party and most of the socializing are.

Lighting also encourages people to take pictures and selfies on social media. A suitable fixture of lighting lets people enjoy more and appreciate the aesthetic your party is bringing.

Offer a Great Mix of Cocktails

Everybody loves sipping on a good drink, valid for adult parties or gala nights. Cocktails are a great way to party and meet new friends, and getting creative with them works wonders in opening up stories and removing them from their comfort zones.

With that said, here are some cocktails we suggest as a start.

 

Paloma

A version of the margarita with more fun and summer tones, great for parties and weekends.

Recipe:

2 Ounces Tequila
½ Ounce St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
5 Ounces Grapefruit Soda

Optional: Add a lime wedge for an aesthetic and citric taste.

 

Blue Lagoon

An improved take on the timeless blue lagoon classic with fresh citrus juice perfect for outdoor and wild parties.

Recipe:

Crushed Ice and Ice cubes
100ml blue curacao
100ml vodka
One lemon, orange, and lime, juiced
Eight maraschino cherries and 1 tsp of syrup
200ml soda water

 

Play and Host Group Activities

A good party is a night of dancing, talking and food. But a great party involves games and prizes! Party games are an excellent way to unite everyone and have a memorable night. You can always play classic games like charades and trivia games. But you can always level up and encourage everyone out of their comfort zone and awkwardness by playing karaoke or beer pong.

As for prizes, you can be creative or punish losers with a shot of hot sauce, all for good fun.
