Party this weekend

[getready]

Alright so im having a party this weekend at my house. This is my first time throwing a party so i was looking for some help.
So i think ive got everything- 2 30's and 2 or 3 bottles for 20-30 people, cups and stuff like that, music- just let me know if i missed somethings

my friend invited most of the people and i know most of them myself, but i really want to make sure its not awkward cause ive been to a couple really fail parties and they sucked

also i know i can build a connection with most of these girls, but i always seem to stumble when im trying to isolate. What's a good way to communicate to a girl that you want to hook up and how should i go about getting her alone?

any imput would be appreciated

I don't think 2 or 3 bottles is enough for 30 people. I just had a party myself that had around 30 people, 5 bottles went down in an instant, though I guess it also depends how much heavy drinkers you have. Anyways the first thing that most people who throw a party forget is security. This is your party so you need to put limits on where people can and can't go. There will always be one of those random heads that comes in and will try stealing stuff. Make sure that you don't leave anything of any kind of value hanging around; make sure you have rooms with locked doors.

Anyways as for the party itself, I never understood why it was so fun, but beer pong is actually a pretty good icebreaker at parties. It starts conversations in an instant with everyone around you.

Yes it is.

To the OP just get drunk then everything will flow smoothly...you won't have to think about anything just go with your instincts...unless you get ****ing wasted:crazy:

Heres some advice and key points:

1. Above all, DO NOT LET IT GET OUT OF HAND. 20-30 people is a very, very risky number. The reason why I say this is because they are going to talk to other people, and then all of a sudden your going to have a TON of people showing up at your house. The fact that its already wednesday and you've already invited 20-30 people is not a good thing at all. By the time this weekend rolls around, EVERYONE in your grade is going to know about this. The best way to avoid a massive amount of people showing up is to tell everyone its cancelled, and then on the day of, text all the people you want to come.

2. If you still plan on having 20-30 people, I would go with four 30's and 2 handles. Lets say only 20 people drink; that would make it 6 beers per person (enough to get most people decently drunk, but not totally hammered). Then, you've always got the people that dont like beer, and will stick to hard alcohol. One single handle def isnt enough, so I'd go with two.

3. Are you throwing the party inside your house or in the backyard? If you throw it inside, theres always a chance that something can get stolen, and an even greater chance that something will get broken. I would recommend putting everyone in the basement, to minimize the chance of anything expensive being stolen or broken upstairs. If your throwing it in your backyard and dont allow anyone inside, this is great, but you have to be careful of the amount of noise you make. Parties thrown outside tend to get pretty loud, especially with the music, and thus you run the risk of neighbors or anyone nearby seeing/hearing what is going on and calling the cops.

4. This is important. NEVER get completely wasted at your own party. You can get really tipsy, but I wouldnt even recommend getting pretty drunk. Being very drunk at your own party just sets you up for trouble, TRUST ME.

5. Have people help you clean up.

thanks for the advice. I think im going to go with 3 30's and 3 handles which i think will be sufficient. Also about the getting out of hand thing, i think it'll be alright cause i invited my close friends who know to ask me before they invite other people and the other people that are coming are from a different school so i dont think to many will show up. Beer pong definitely sounds like a plan.
