You'll find you require booze for dinner parties, Christmas gatherings, birthday parties, BBQs, picnics and even need reserves for Bonfire Night and Halloween so it makes sense to arrange in advance and buy your favourite drinks at competitive prices. This article is all about getting party supplies together for any and all eventualities and alcohol is simply one party 'must have.'

Choose Essentials

An additional essential is dinner wear and lots of people opt for paper plates and cups when they throw a party because they make it convenient to clean up. They are another item which one is less expensive to bulk purchase and store, however, a good more inexpensive alternative (over the course of the year) is to buy good quality plastic plates and cutlery that are washable. Plastic plates and cutlery are dishwasher safe, do not break and can be reused time and again for BBQs and picnics and also in indoor parties!

Create a Basic Party

Think about the functionality of your house and imagine creating a dance floor, a chill out zone and a bar area. Usually the kitchen makes a good bar, a bedroom makes a good cloakroom for piling coats and a living room with the furniture removed can make a good dance floor - for example. Once you have an idea of how your house could turn into a great night club, then whenever you throw a party you'll only need to add a bit of themed decoration!

After you've got the basics covered you can add big cut out pink and red hearts to walls for Valentine's Day, collect clocks in a main room for New Year's Eve or add spooky decorations to your fundamental 'party plan' for Halloween. By planning ahead and having most the party supplies you will need in your home already you'll be able to throw reasonable parties more often and save cash too!

Casual parties should even serve fresh, good food.  Finger foods are the best because there are no utensils that are needed so there would be less of a clean up afterwards.  Serve the food on trays this way there will be enough so you will not need to run back and fourth from the kitchen.  You too need to have enjoyment from the party.

Never ever serve canned beer.  Wine should be bought in bottles.  There are still great deals even though it is not from a box.  It is also o good idea to have a few bottles around the house, for guest that may pop by and like to have a few drinks. 

The atmosphere is made up of three main things; music, lighting, and decoration.  There needs to be music at every party.  If there is good music then there might be some dancing, parties are always better if there is some dancing.  With the lights on nobody will even think about dancing.  A dimmer switch should be considered if you plan on having more then one party a year.

The focal point of the room will be the table that you will be serving on and the liquor so make it look good with a table cloth and some flowers.  If it is a theme party then decorate accordingly.  Nothing tacky is needed.

Mingle with your guests; there is no need to be running back and fourth.  Enjoy the atmosphere that you have created, have some fun too. Mobile Marketing  is a very effective way to notify your guests of the upcoming event with all the details sent directly to them within seconds all at once.

First and foremost make sure you invitations make it clear your guests should come dressed in their 70's best. Try bell-bottom pants, lots of beads, big sunglasses, and platform shoes. Try creating a custom musical invitation with a song selection from the 70's. Your invitations must set the tone of the party and get the guests motivated to come play.  Find your pointy-collared black shirt and that tight white suit and go for it! If you are a die-hard 70s fan, you may have to drag out that old lava lamp and throw on the love beads.  Who knows, you may even dig out that old tie-dyed t-shirt.  Keep in mind bright colors and crazy hair were big in the 70's.  Don't forget about platform shoes! If you need more inspiration watch some re-run 70's shows like "Happy Days" or "Soul Train".

Now on to the decorations they should reflect the 70s—how about a disco ball?   Believe it or not, there’s a pretty simple version of a lighted dance floor you can re-produce.

Buy some inexpensive strings of tube lighting and section off part of the room for the dance floor.  Outline the “dance floor” with the tube lights.  String up the disco ball above the middle of the dance area, and there you go.  A simple yet effective decoration is bead curtains.  Relatively inexpensive you can hang these on your major door ways. Another popular decorating idea is room rolls.  These rolls are attached to your wall and roll from one wall to another transforming your room into a theme such as a disco, or some other 70's theme.

Now when it comes to music don't think that you and your buddies have enough disco music to make it through the night.  Splurge a little and hire a professional DJ. The DJ keep your guests entertained and will bring back the atmosphere of those 70's disco clubs.  Whether you choose a 70s Disco Party or prefer disco music from the 70s and 80s, your guests will have the time of their lives. 

Throwing a 70's theme party is always a good time. Your guests are really going to boogie down at this one.   A Disco Theme Party is definitely where it’s at!
