Gary BraVard, of A Classic Party Rental, has 30 years of experience in the event industry; needless to say, he has plenty of top shelf tips and tricks to make your guests saying “OMG” as they sample your delicious food or notice your impeccable attention to detail.

First, Gary thinks your guest should have 3 OMG experiences before they leave your party. Pay attention to what their traffic patterns will be and as they turn corners in your home, there should be a “wow factor” lurking. The wow factor can either be a floral arrangement, food display, or anything creative, such as an old fashioned popcorn cart (if it’s appropriate with your theme).

Next, people need a beverage (alcoholic or non) as soon as they walk in the door. People feel more comfortable with a drink in their hand.

Last but certainly not least, bold colors, patterns, and textures in linens, glassware, and china will visually stimulate your guests without adding extra money to your budget.

Remember, sensory stimulation is key; people experience things with their senses… make sure the aromas are flowing (and the drinks), the temperature is comfortable, and the food is delicious.

Stay tuned for more tips and tricks about how to throw an OMG party.
