What Is a Cocktail Party?

In a most direct explanation, a cocktail party is an event where cocktails are served and is sometimes called a cocktail reception, while a cocktail party organized for purposes of social or business networking is called a mixer.

Cocktail parties are not just a means of networking for businesses and social purposes as they are also organized as prewedding receptions in which the guests of the bride and groom are able to socialize while drinking and eating appetizers. In hospitality, managers of hotels and restaurants uses the term cocktail hour as a way to attracting patrons between certain hours of the day; most of the time, it is during the hours 4:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.

Organizing Your Cocktail Party

For events organizer or someone throwig a special cocktail party for a certain crowd, the biggest problem is how to make it a big hit. Throwing a cocktail party worth remembering is not as hard as it may seem. Here are a few tips you should consider when planning for one:

• Date, time, and place. It is crucial that you hold your event at a day and time where there would be more people available to attend and a place where it is most convenient for the majority of your guests.
• Theme. Cocktail parties can have different themes, depending on your purpose, making sure you are able to tailor your invitationss as well. For example, if you are organizing a cocktail party for a respected retiring general manager, your invitation’s theme should be something like Farewell Party Invitation, or if your party is to honor the long years of your company’s establishment, then your invitation should be something like an Anniversary Party Invitation.
• F&B. Food and beverage is one of the highlights of a cocktail party, and having great food and variety of cocktail drinks can make or break your social gathering. It is of importance that you plan every nook of your planned menu as this will also allow you to cut costs on extra expenditures.
• Complimentary. Offering complimentary drinks such as coffee at the end of the party can help your guests into relaxing from the buzz of wine and dining, but do remember that it does not help in getting sober. Providing complimentary gifts that your guests can keep as a token allows your guests to have an even more special night.
