A Close up Magician is the perfect entertainment for any house party as they can move between rooms or around the garden entertaining small groups of guests with amazing close up magic. Most will offer you a short cabaret at the end which would be a performance to the entire group and usually involve YOU as the star of the show. Fancy being sawn in half?

 

You don’t have to worry about the entertainment at your next party, if you hire a Magician they will make sure everyone is amazed with some close up magic and your guests will be talking about your party for weeks!

2. Make your own cocktails

make your own cocktails bottles and glasses and fruit and mint

This one does take a bit more planning than just going down to the supermarket and buying 20 bottles of wine. You need to do some research and find out how to make a few cocktails.

Then you need to get all the ingredients and have them available at a station in each room and have your own cocktail party!

Print out the instructions on how to make the cocktail and let your guests move between rooms mixing their own drinks.

Try to come up with a few that nobody has ever heard of or tried before?

3. Karaoke

A classic for entertainment and laughs all round. Karaoke could be seen as a bit dated but it still hits the mark for some great fun. All you need is an app on your phone and send it to the TV and you have your evenings entertainment sorted. If you really want to impress why not hire a sound system and some lights are turn your front room into a Karaoke Bar!

4. Come dine with me

Not everyone wants to drink cocktails all night at their party, Everyone loves food at parties, so why not make your party last a few weekends and have a come dine with me style party at a different house each week for a few weeks. Then secretly mark everyone out of 10. If everyone puts some money in a pot the winners can collect at the end of the last meal.

5. Guess who

This is a very simple and relaxed game.

You need to collect one random fact from each of your guests before they arrive. So ask them each to text or email you a fact like.
“I was responsible for designing the top bit of the Shard in London” or
“I own 6 x New Forest Ponies“

Then you put all these facts on a sheet of paper with a box to the right for a name. Each person at your party gets a sheet and throughout the evening is allowed to ask each guest one question about their fact. They then have to work out which person fits each fact. This is great for people who may not have met before and is a bit of fun. Call time when everyone has to finish by and then mark the sheets, the person with the most correct gets a bottle of champagne or something?

6. Card games

Good old fashioned card games are still great entertainment for your party. Depending on the guests and what they enjoy doing, having a few rooms setup with different card games could be a very interesting evening. You could even have a blackjack table setup in one room with croupier and some fun money to play with!

7. Wine testing

For the more discerning party goer an evening of wine tasting is the perfect choice. Simply ensure you have a good supply of wine and some cheese always goes down well. Or if you really want to do it properly then why not get some assistance from some wine experts like the Surrey Wine School http://www.surreywineschool.com/

You can decide if you do it properly with the bucket to spit the wine into or if you just drink it!
