Advantages and Disadvantages of New York for a Home Party
A night out on the town in New York City is a great experience, especially if you are partying in the hip bars and venues in the Flatiron District or Garment District. But you can bring the party vibe to your own home or, even better, choose from the many venues on Giggster. When doing so, consider the advantages and disadvantages of hosting a house party in New York.
Advantages
-
Private parties in New York City offer a more intimate atmosphere, allowing you to better connect with your guests.
-
Hosting a party in a private house in New York, as opposed to a restaurant or a banquet hall, is easier on the pocket.
-
When you host a home party, you can personalize the menu and the space and create a unique dining experience with personalized catering companies.
Disadvantages
-
House parties can get really loud, which might lead to noise complaints. Make sure to notify neighbors or find the perfect event space that's just far enough to avoid such incidents.
-
Small house parties are easier to handle when it comes to food and drink refills, even cleaning afterward. However, larger private events can be more demanding. Avoid the stress by hiring additional staff like servers, bartenders, and cleaners. You'll find plenty in NYC!
-
Small party venues may have a limited number of bathrooms, which can cause awkward bathroom lines. Book a private event space that can accommodate all your guests, and depending on the number of guests and venue space, consider one with more than three bathrooms.

Planning your Home Party in New York
A good party host has everything organized in advance. This checklist will keep you on the right track and ensure your party turns into an unforgettable event.
Make a Guest List - Before booking your event space, know the number of your guests. You want everyone to be comfortable and have space to mingle and dance without bumping into each other and spilling drinks. On Giggster, you'll find 489 popular event spaces in New York that can accommodate groups of any size.
Choose a Party Theme - Set the stage for a fun night with an exciting party theme like Las Vegas casino night, Hollywood Glam or Murder Mystery. When you have decided on the theme, you can easily plan invitations, decorations, and outfits to match it.
Plan Activities - Take your home party up a notch and engage guests with fun games and activities. For instance, if you rent a villa with a pool, organize pool activities, or plan a scavenger hunt if you are up in the mountains.
Serve a Feast - It's not a party without food, so make sure there's enough for everyone. If your budget allows, hire a professional catering company, servers and bartenders, so you don't have to worry about that aspect of the party.
How to Save Money on Your Home Party in New York
When hosting a party you need to be prepared to spend some money and some more. Contrary to popular belief, you can save money when partying in NYC, especially if you're celebrating in a house.
Make DIY decorations.
Thanks to the internet, today it's easy to make your own party decorations. Get the necessary equipment from a dollar store and get busy. Balloons are cheap and make a great addition to any party, plus they never go out of style.
Prepare your own party food.
From pizzas and hamburgers, to finger food to fruit platters, crackers, cheese, muffins and s'mores, the choice of inexpensive party food is large. If you don't have the time to prepare the food on your own, ask friends and family to help. To keep party costs even lower, consider having a potluck.
Creative and inexpensive entertainment.
You don't have to hire an expensive DJ, a live band, magician or a clown if you don't have the budget for it. Make your own playlist or use playlists from streaming services. Build up the energy with creative and fun games and activities for all guests to enjoy. Set up a karaoke stage, a DIY photo booth area and you'll turn your party into a fun night without spending much money.
