Create a playlist of soothing music to encourage your guest to relax, but keep volume at a minimum so that they can converse and chitchat.

If you have a beach theme, you can simply go for fruity wines, cocktails, beer and water for drinks. Food should be simple as well, guests will be quite disappointed with a host who keeps on disappearing because of she needs to check on some elaborate recipe. Prepare a selection of finger foods and if it’s a dinner party, you can just have one appetizer, main course with salad, dessert and drinks.

Set Up Some Games or Activities. Find activities, games or movies that go with your theme. For beach party theme, you may also play beer pong or watch movies such as Surf Up, Blue Crush, Forgetting Sarah Marshall or 50 First Dates!
