If you are hosting a party for someone else, for example, your child, a family member, or even a friend, ensure the theme reflects the person’s interest and personality.  For instance, if your child loves animals, then you could do an animal circus-themed party or a zoo party. (the options are endless.)

It is best practice to always follow up with your guests because it gives you the final headcount of who is coming and reminds your guests of the party. Having a final guest list helps to determine how much food to order.
