A Single Girl’s Guide to the Singles Party
Finding that someone special in our world today often requires a dose of creative thinking. If you have a lot of single friends, and maybe are still searching for that special someone yourself, a dating party could be the ideal solution. If you only have a small number of single friends, then you can create a more intimate dating party. You never know what will happen! At the very least, the evening will be loads of fun and everyone will get to sniff around fresh meat in the dating market.
Your Creative Guest List
A dating party requires a dynamic guest list that is probably unlike any other you have ever drawn up before. It is not suitable to settle for singles already in your social circle, since you crave something fresh as well. You should bring some fresh singles in the mix to indulge yourself as well as your single friends. If you were supposed to find love with one of the eligible bachelors you already know, it probably would have already happened by now, right?
A great alternative is to create an active guest list. Get the guest list started by jotting down names of singles who you would feel comfortable recommending to your friends. That means you omit the unimpressive characters in your life, because you do not want to pass that on to anyone else.
Once you have started the list with the most suitable bachelors and bachelorettes that you know, hand the list to someone you plan to invite and ask them to continue the list. Put the list in alphabetical order, and then transfer it through email. This way, everyone adding to the list can quickly see who is already on the list, so there are no duplicate names. They then pass it on to another person they added to the list.
When the list reaches a give number of guests, you have to end the listing process and ask for it back. You can always have another party later on if all of your friends do not get a chance to contribute to the list this time around. It is essential to determine how many guests you can accommodate before sending the list to the next person. Let them know that when it reaches your limit, the list comes to an end.
Another alternative of the active list is to ask friends scan their Facebook friends and add on those they know are single. If all invitees are on Facebook, one mass invite can be delivered to everyone at once. Alternatively, ask friends for addresses and mail out formal invites for a more formal get together.
Discovering Themes
Everyone is going to be nervous attending a dating party, so you have to find ways to break the ice and enliven the atmosphere before they even walk through the door. With the best party theme, you will find activities to ensure your guests are entertained. It is not a good idea to go to extremes and make everyone show up in togas or hula skirts. It just needs to be lively or entertaining, and it may even be related to the dating life. Take into consideration some quick ideas to get your creative thoughts sparking:
Group Dating Party: set up each room or partition of your party location with differing d?cor and vibes. Each room or area needs to be labeled with a number, and every guest must be handed a card with matching numbers in random order as they come into the party. They are instantly escorted to the first number on their card, where they remain for a portion of the party. You will eventually announce when it is time for participants to locate the second number on their card and make their way there. This mixes participants up, puts them in smaller groups to meet new singles, and is a fun variation of speed dating.
Party Game Theme: Remember some games you played when you were young, such as charades, and remind your guests of them for this party. Why not play spin the bottle? Are you ready for a good game of truth or dare?
Your dating party can be whatever you desire it to be, whether that is relaxed and lively or intimate and romantic. You won’t know most of the people attending the party, so it will be more difficult than usual to design the theme and activities according to the preferences of those guests. You have to trust yourself to find something you would find enjoyable. Who knows, you may actually find someone who shares your sense of fun and ?gets? your ideas for the party like no other. Maybe you will meet the person you were meant to be with at this party.
