The Ultimate Guide to Throwing a College Party
So, you've decided to throw a college party. Congratulations! Get ready for a night of fun, laughter, and maybe a few questionable decisions. But fear not, this ultimate guide will help you navigate the ins and outs of throwing a legendary college bash.
Speaker! (s)
First things first.. you need a BIG speaker so that music can be heard throughout the entire house. I would reccomend a JBL Partybox but any mid-sized speaker will do. JBL PARTYBOX
Location, Location, Location
Now that you know the occasion, it's time to pick the perfect location. Whether it's your dorm room, a friend's house, or a rented venue, make sure the space is big enough to accommodate your guests and has enough room for dancing (or stumbling, depending on how the night goes).
Music Makes the Party
No party is complete without a killer playlist. Create a mix of crowd-pleasing hits, throwback jams, and maybe a few guilty pleasures. Pro tip: have a designated DJ or playlist curator to keep the tunes flowing all night long.
Here is some of our recommended playlists/mixes
Decorations!!
One major thing that a lot of college party hosts forget is that you need to set a vibe in your house! And one way to do that is to hang flags. And that is where we come in, flags are our specality. Check out our WEBSITE to view our flags!
Food and Drinks
This is a college party... you won't know everyone in your house so unless you're trying to blow through your money I would focus more on the entertainment. Complimentary water is always a good thing though.
Party Games and Activities
Keep the energy high with some fun party games and activities. From beer pong to flip cup. There are plenty of ways to keep your guests entertained and engaged throughout the night.
Put Away All Valuables!!
We at Dorm Dolphin have thrown countless parties... and one thing we can say for sure is drunk college students have a fedish for stealing almost anything.. so if you care about ANYTHING put it behind a locked door.
Stay Safe, Have Fun
Lastly, remember to stay safe and look out for your guests. Make sure everyone has a safe way to get home, keep an eye on alcohol consumption, and be prepared to handle any unexpected situations that may arise. And most importantly, have fun and make memories that will last a lifetime.
So there you have it, the ultimate guide to throwing a college party. Follow these tips, let loose, and get ready for a night you won't soon forget. Party on, party people!
