How to host a party for 10 people

Being able to host a party for 10 people in Perth currently opens up the door to small celebrations and gatherings. To help with your gatherings we have listed 10 ways to host a party for ten people.

As the social laws loosen and people begin to regroup after Covid-19, parties and socialising has slowly started to emerge. It may seem a little socially awkward connecting with people again after isolation.

As most are still social distancing during this time, you may ask how do you host a party for ten people? We have done the hard work and come up with a few options.

 

Ten ways to party for a party of ten

  1. Host an afternoon wine party with the neighbours

This is a great idea for groups of ten people to celebrate being social again. Everyone brings their own glass of wine and meets out on the front lawn. Bring your own fold out chair or cushion, snacks and nibbles and catch up on local gossip.

  1. Fish and chips on the beach watching the sunset

Perth has a great way of turning it on when it comes to afternoon sunsets and what better way to celebrate with a party of ten by the beach, with fish and chips of course. Bring a blanket and some good conversation and you have yourself a party with spectacular views to match.

  1. Host a Boho party

This is a great idea for a small party gathering. If you are celebrating a birthday, recent engagement, pregnancy or Mother’s Day then hosting a Boho party could be a fun idea. Read tarot or oracle card messages, astrology and include fun games and surprises.

Hire our Persian rug, rustic pallet table, some cushions and table settings pieces to dress up your event in style. Check out our Boho party styling article for more tips.

  1. Host a treasure hunt party for your kids in your backyard

Celebrating a child’s birthday or just want to have a play date with a group of ten, then why not host an outdoor party for kids. Create a game of pirates with a map leading to hidden treasure  around the backyard. Hire our kids party tables and chairs and include pre-made food platters delivered to you.

  1. Host a BBQ bash

  1. Host an International night

This is a fun one for everyone to get involved in. Since most travel is banned at the moment, bring the culture to you. Each person selects a country and then cooks a dish for all to share. You can step up the game by making it a semi-dress up or by introducing a custom. Share interesting facts about the country or share your travel stories with the group. Select one of our special serving dishes or crockery sets for hire to decorate your table.

  1. Host a morning or afternoon tea party for ten

Get your baking on! Or visit the local bakery and order up a range of fresh pastries, scones and breads. Make tea & coffee and you have a great idea for a girl’s get-together, baby shower or birthday gathering. Hire our tea and coffee set items, add a cake stand and serve up a morning tea to remember.

  1. Host an intimate wedding for ten people

Want to go ahead with your wedding plans, but restricted to eight guests? Invite your immediate family or a couple of friends to share in your event. After all weddings are all about celebrating love. So what better way than to share your commitment to one another with a small group of people.

Creating a Victorian Style Wedding

Victorian style is all about elegance, grace and sophistication, with just the right tinge of slightly gothic, Spanish undertones to create a timeless romantic look. Victorian weddings are particularly popular during the colder months, where misty days and grey skies enhance the beautifully darker elements of this refined style.

Pulling off the perfect Victorian style wedding is all about moulding traditional elements with modern designs and features. We’ve put together a basic guide to help you get the fundamentals right when planning an unforgettable Victorian wedding.

How to Create Floral Centrepieces for a Boho Party

Boho style parties are all the rage – you only need to briefly lurk on Instagram or Pinterest to see just how many people are favouring the boho theme for engagement parties, weddings, hen’s nights, baby showers and birthdays. There are many different styling choices for boho parties, with all kinds of floral centrepieces and decorations, but at the heart of any good boho party lies the floral arrangements. So, you’ve decided on your theme, but how do you go about creating flowers for a boho party?

Hiring a florist to take care of your boho floral centrepiece is ultra-convenient. Our Boho styled shoot florals were put together by the very talented Salli from Touched By Angels.  Creating your own boho style bouquets and floral arrangements is actually a lot easier than it looks. Play your cards right and creating flowers for your boho party can actually be a lot of fun, too!

How to create the perfect boho style party

Boho chic has become one of the most Pinterest worthy party themes, and a quick Google search will quickly lead you down the rabbit hole of whimsical bohemian soirees filled with rustic wooden furniture, vintage rugs, patterned throw cushions and twinkling lanterns. You’ll swoon as you scroll through boho style party ideas – but looking at dreamy images is one thing, while putting the style into practice is a whole different kettle of fish. The boho look is all about effortlessness, but it actually takes a lot of effort to get it right. If you want to create the perfect boho style party, we’ve got some tips to pull it off with flying colours.

What exactly is a boho style party?

Boho (short for bohemian) is all about combining vintage, hippie and ethnic-inspired items with earthy tones and elements of nature. The boho style celebrates free spiritedness and conjures up a charming old world feeling, with a focus on natural beauty. Given the eclectic and vintage inspired aesthetic, boho styled parties and weddings have become hugely popular in recent years as they allow plenty of room for DIY touches and can therefore be very budget friendly.

What type of party is suited to boho style?

Boho styled parties are incredibly versatile and the boho theme can work with a wide range of party types. The boho style has a distinctively feminine edge, so boho parties are often favoured for hen’s parties, baby showers and bridal showers, but they’re also incredibly popular for casual wedding receptions, engagement parties and birthday celebrations. There’s really no party that won’t work with a boho theme, so the sky’s the limit.

Elements of a boho style party

One of the great things about a boho themed party is you can really make the style your own by putting your own spin on things. You might have some incredible vintage items you want to include or engage your creative side to make some boho inspired decorations of your own. A typical boho style party can include items like rustic wooden furniture, native flowers, bunting, fairy lights, dreamcatchers and other vintage items.

At Perth Party Hire, we adore boho style parties and love helping our customers create dreamy settings for any kind of celebration. For an idea of the boho style that Perth Party Hire can help you create, check out our incredible boho party photo gallery and contact us to find out more.

Indian Dinner Party Theme

Whether you have guests in town and you’re looking to impress them with a stellar welcome dinner, new neighbours you’d like to introduce to the neighbourhood supper club or are just an avid socialiser who loves the role as “hostess with the mostess”, throwing a themed dinner party is always a great idea. We should know!

Not sure where to begin with the planning process? Follow our three-step ‘recipe’ for success and we’ll get you hosting in no time.

1. Choose an unforgettable dinner party theme

Your theme can be inspired by just about anything; colours, holidays, places, cultures, and eras in time to name a few. Embrace your inner Picasso and put your pen, and ideas, to paper. Dinner parties are the perfect time to make your creative vision into a reality.

This time around, we’ve gone ahead and already made the hard decision for you. Your next supper club inspiration: An Indian Dinner Party!

2. Surprise and delight guests with an extraordinary party atmosphere

When hosting a dinner party, you’re inviting people to share stories, make new memories and celebrate food in the comfort of the environment you create.

Styling your dinner party is the perfect time to take risks and recreate that party theme you’ve been eyeing for months. It’s your opportunity to build an environment that radiates that “feeling” you want guests to walk away with after being in good company, wining and dining with you.

How often do you enjoy Indian cuisine in the setting of a garden party? We took our Indian Supper theme but decided to give it a twist. We wanted guests to walk away feeling inspired to shake up their everyday routine, so we decided to mirror that sentiment by pairing an Indian dinner with a garden boho party theme – low picnic tables, cushions, rugs, and greenery included.

3. Entice guests with impressive dinner presentation

First things first, pick your dinner of choice. Next, find your crockery at home or hire from us, and then map out how you would like to set your table. Follow these steps in this order and the inspiration will domino so that each decision is easier than the last.

Indian cuisine is such an easy dinner party pick given the delicious variety offered with every single dish. With so many spices and vibrant flavours used throughout, there is a taste to suit everyone. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make choosing the specific dishes you want any easier!

Luckily, Royal India has given us access to their Butter Chicken family recipe. This means all you talented chefs can whip up the dish yourself or cheekily order food for your dinner party as take away before guests arrive.

Here’s how you’re going to want to dish up your Indian dinner in style.

Think lavish silver dishes decorating the length of the table, an enticing display of naan served on various bread cutting boards, large Indian serving bowls of butter chicken and Indian serving dishes filled with sauces galore.

An Indian supper, in our eyes, is an elaborate display of colours and textures seen in both the food and crockery; enticing guests to sit-down, relax and feast!
