Light, sequins, music, martinis… How to throw a proper party with top tips from Zandra Rhodes, DJ Fat Tony, Ashish Gupta and many moreEveryone sitting down signals the death of the party. People who are standing are more likely to move around and mingle, or start dancing, or start a fight. Exciting!Give them a genuine compliment and the excuse that you need to refresh your drink. Or say you need to tell someone at the party something urgently – say it conspiratorially, tell them what it is.
Smartphones are the death of joy. Whenever they’re whipped out for photographs, people are already thinking about how to untag themselves. You should distribute disposable cameras instead, right? Incorrect. We’re about immediate gratification now and there’s no going back. Get an Instax or Polaroid. The pictures appear immediately, are flattering and precious – people want to keep them. Make a night feel vintage while you’re still in it.
Preheat the oven to 220C/ gas mark 7. Brush the bouikos with milk and bake on the upper-middle shelf of the oven for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the tray round, then reduce the temperature to 200C/gas mark 6 and bake for a further 6-8 minutes, until golden.If food is meant to be eaten hot, don’t serve it cold. Nothing good has ever come of congealed pizza.Arrive with at least three bottles of gin and vermouth, a few tins of Perello olives, a bag of ice and a cocktail shaker.
Make sure every single person on earth is at your party to end all parties. If we’re all going down, we may as well go down together… with music. There’s no better drug than music. I’d love to say the party needs the most impressive lights or sound system, the best DJs ever, the most incredible performers. But does it? Surely, if we all know it’s our final few hours, the most amazing way to go is in knowing that all of humanity is making the ground shake as one. One last time.
Start with a tight guest list of your closest friends – they’re the heart and will set the tone. Keep the lighting low and cosy, a mix of red and amber lights to give the room that smoky, late-night feel and, of course, a classic disco ball to give just the right amount of sparkle. Most importantly, create a space that celebrates all body types and identities, making everyone feel at ease to just dance and be themselves.
