Its that time of year again when everyone wants to party. So I thought I would take this opportunity to mention
Monica’s party do’s and dont’s.

If you plan to host a party, good planning can reduce the risk of potential problems before the party begins, saving yourself difficulties later on, and possibly having to call the police.

The more structured and controlled your party is, the safer and more enjoyable it will be for everyone. For instance, have you thought of invitations, a controlled entry and exit point, non-alcoholic drink alternatives, structured timings throughout for activities (cake cutting, speeches, presents etc), adult and or parent supervisors, security, gate crasher policy, cleaning up as you go, dedicated finishing time, exit transport strategy?

Remember the golden rule – “PLAN BEFOREHAND”:

• How many people do you want coming?
  
• Think about the party size and venue. Is your home too small? Would a hall or function centre be more appropriate and a more controlled environment?
  
• Have you spoken to the neighbours?
  
• What about invitations / RSVP?
  
• How many entry / exit points are there and how will you control them?
  
• What about adult supervision / security? Who will you use? How many? Will you use other parents or paid security?
  As a stripper I get to see hundreds of parties every year and I can honestly
  tell you that large parties who hire security guards for the night never
  have any serious trouble apart from a few drunk guests.
• What about parking and nearby public amenity?
  
• Where will people put their valuables when they arrive and during the party? Are any rooms off limits?
  
• What about fire safety and first aid. Have you planned what you are going to do if someone becomes sick or drunk?
  
• How will people get there and get home?
  
• Are there sufficient toilets so people don’t go outside?
  
• What will happen if gate-crashers arrive…
  call the Police immediately if they show aggression?
  
• How will you control Alcohol or Drugs?
  
• Have you
  REGISTERED your party with local police? Local police may be able to patrol the
  vicinity regularly and give priority to any call to attend.
  
• If you hire a stripper, ( Strippergrams
  ) make sure everyone at the party is aware of it. Especially if the victim has a partner who is also at the party.
  

HERE ARE SOME
BASIC PARTY TIPS:

• Notify Police that you are having a party.
  
• Talk to your neighbours. Ask them to tell you if groups gather out the front or
  nearby.
  
• Have only one entry/exit point if possible.
  
• Have that entry/exit point strictly controlled.
• Keep the party contained indoors or out the back. Don’t allow people to wander around or congregate out the front. (This attracts gate-crashers and causes complaints from neighbours)
  
• Consider numbering the invites.
  
• Hire a DJ for the night, and make sure he has music that will suite all the various age groups of your guests.
  
• If the party will be outdoors then hire a tent or canvas cover for the night incase it rains. Don’t just assume that because its sunny it’s not going too.
  
• Have plenty of outdoor lighting.
  
• Hire some large tubs for ice and beer and place them in easy to locate places around the party area. This saves people going to your fridge all the time.
  
• Enforce an RSVP and/or the need to produce their invitation at the door. (Notify guests up front that you will only admit people who comply)
  
• Consider how the party will be advertised. Don’t use Internet or SMS.
• Encourage officially invited party guests not to disseminate information about the party to non-invited guests. (Ask them to abide by the confidentiality up front in the invitation)
  
• If you do find out from any source that the party is on the Internet, or has been the subject of SMS messaging, then you will need to take extra preventative measures. (i.e. change venue, more parent supervisors, hire a security guard, tell local police, tell neighbours to notify you of any youths/groups congregating nearby)
  
• Know the laws on noise. (contact your Local Council or Police if in doubt)
  
• Have additional parents to provide enough supervision at the party. (or consider
  hiring licensed security if the party is large… believe me, it is well worth
  considering)
  
• Structure the party – have food being served, have dedicated timings throughout for activities (cake cutting, speeches, presents etc), have numerous people supervising, and
  clean up as you go.
• Consider appropriate lighting. (particularly any dark hidden-away
  areas you may have)
  
• Ensure that your party has definite start and finish
  times.
  
• Act quickly on gate-crashers. Refuse entry and call police if they
  wont leave.
  If you have hired security for your party then let them deal with it. Security
  work much better if they don’t have to referee arguments between you and
  the gate-crashers.
• Remember, you have the right to refuse entry to your property.
  It is an offence for people to trespass if you have refused them entry.
  
• Don’t spend all night in an area of your house away from the party. (i.e. in the
  kitchen). Consider having food pre-prepared or hiring professional party caterers. This will allow you more time to observe party goers and quickly deal with problems before they get out of hand.
  
• If under 18’s consume alcohol/drugs, contact their parents and have them collected from the party.
  
• For over 18’s parties, make sure there is plenty of alternative non-alcoholic drinks and water freely available and in obvious spots. Provide choices.
  
• Tell other parents if you are serving alcohol.
  
• Remember secondary supply to minors is an offence.
  
• Ensure alternative transport for people who have had too much to drink.
  
• Consider logistics - is there enough garbage bins,
  garbage bags, toilet paper and toilets?
  
• Clean up broken glass or other dangerous items straight away.
  
• Plan a wind-down time leading up to the finish, turning down music etc.
  
• Have a dedicated exit/transport strategy to get people out of the area and safely home immediately the party finishes. i.e. additional parents, shared taxi plan, courtesy bus etc.
  
• Don’t let people congregate out the front at any stage (before/during/after), as this is a major contributing factor to problems.
