2020 was such a crazy ride!! The coronavirus does not seem to go away anytime soon. It is recommended that you stay home and safe as much as you can. However, with a little ease in the lockdown restrictions, an intimate house party or small, safe party during COVID is what many are planning.
Whether you’re planning an intimate party at home with your close friends and family or planning a corporate event in your office, the truth is that the events will be very different going forward.
People are coming together to have a low-key good time and to feel the magic of human interaction in a safe and controlled manner. Some are celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with a small gathering, and some are considering organizing a safe party.
In this situation, what are the party rules? It’s hard to steer but worth comprehending, we think!
In this blog, we’ve compiled some tips for holding a safe celebration and party in the COVID 19 age. Follow our guidelines to enjoy parties and events while implementing all the necessary security protocols.
1. Keep it Small & Intimate
We know you miss going out, meeting people and having fun, but you need to take your best step forward. Keep your gathering small. This means reducing the guest list to the number of people you can keep in your venue at least six feet away. Follow the rules set in your community. Keep in mind, the smaller the crowd, the safer it is for everyone.
2. Be transparent about COVID rules in your house party
Be transparent about the must-follow COVID precautions at your party. You need to consider the risk levels, not just for yourself, but for everyone else you live with and want to see. Invite only those you can trust to follow your rules. Minimize exposure to droplets that people produce when talking, yelling, laughing, sneezing or coughing; For this reason, experts recommend keeping a distance of one and a half meters or more between people and wearing a mask to reduce droplet dispersion. It also means limiting the number of people touching common items such as the serving spoon, faucet, bottle opener, and door handle.
3. Choose the Right Venue, Limit indoor
Did you know that the likelihood of coronavirus transmission outside is 18 times lower than indoors? Air-conditioned indoor halls are a big NO! It means to organize your event keeping everyone outdoors where the new coronavirus is less likely to spread. Also, check out if you don’t make the place overcrowded. Maintain event capacity guidelines according to your state and national advisors to have a safe party in COVID times.
4. Book a Small Party Caterer in Delhi
You won’t be able to circulate common sangria or raspberry tea jugs in your party. It means removing chips and salsa bowls, using designated servers for all food and drinks, and assigning guests to dine at household separated tables. Booking a small party caterer in Delhi is a great way to ease out of safe party planning during COVID. Along with organizing and serving food with proper shields and safety kits, they will also take care of sanitization.
5. Invitations
Unlike improvised ‘scenes’ like back in the day, you need to let your guests know about the party well ahead. Friends who used come in at a moment’s notice may not have the luxury of a babysitter. With online office meetings and classes, keep in mind that nothing is the same as before. It is imperative to give people enough time to make a place in their schedule for your event. Give them at least 2 weeks’ and make sure you send them a reminder the day before the event so they don’t forget.
6. Come up with games and activities to set the Party Mood
Take out your dust-collecting karaoke machine, pub quiz, board and card games, and even the beautiful Antakshri. Party games are the perfect way to break the ice and start the party. It can give everyone a nice break from discussing corona cases and vaccines for two hours. Even with a small number of people, you can turn your event into a themed party. This may just be the touch your party needs and it will give you and your team the best picture of your life.
7. Don’t forget the general steps to follow while organizing a safe party in COVID
- Table decor can still be fun. Get creative and add masks, hand sanitizers, and red, white, and blue bars to your centrepieces.
- Remove cloth towels and bar soap from your bathroom and use liquid soap and paper towels to limit the spread of germs.
- Place hand sanitizer in the bathroom and on every table.
- Give everyone their straws so they can sip drinks more easily under their mask
- Put disposable plates, cutlery, napkins, glasses, and straws on each table so each household has what it needs or put wrapped cutlery and straws everywhere.
- Reduce the tension associated with facial coverage by purchasing a white mask for all your guests.
- Make sure the place is thoroughly sterilized before guests arrive. Disinfect all contact points, such as door handles, tables, chairs, etc.
