so who has thrown a party before? i'm gonna throw one this summer. i'm guessing over 100 people will be there. gonna have a flyer created for free, so there's money i don't have to spend. free DJ's with the exception of maybe one.
there's going to be a volleyball tournament too because it's going to be on the beach. i want it to be like a summer kick off party.
i need a permit i'm assuming, i'm already looking into that. what about booze (besides kegs)? how much should i spend? my buddy told me to get bacardi to sponsor it and that they sponsor everything.
give me some tips please, i've never thrown a big party like this before, and i'm sort of wishy washy on exactly how big and expensive i want it to be. at first i just wanted to organize a big party for my friends....like a bbq, but then i started thinking, "fuck it, just throw a huge party and see what happens".
thanks for any info

sponsers the way to go, if you can make that happen...
are you charging admission/cover ? if not, make it BYOB.. much easier that way..
just make sure to get stamps/bracelets so u can keep track of whos at your party.. u dont want radom niggaz up in ya joint lurkin..lol
make sure the dj end of things are all covered, sound system etc. very critical. music creates vibes & atmosphere and you dont want any loose ends.
and of course, promotion, but i dont know what kind of party this is exactly and im sure you know how to get the word out cox-style.
word

Well, in college a party that big would require 8-10 cases of Natty and a tub of crack juice. Lol. Don't know how you want to class it up from there.
But the stamp idea is a good one for no other reason than it makes sure under-agers don't crash the party. Even if you don't invite any, there would be no worse end to the night than cops showing up and charging you for serving underaged kids.

a buddy of mine messaged me that he could possibly make it happen at skybar which is a really nice bar at a hotel in sobe...it would be more like a pool party.
hmmm...decisions!
also my friend who is going to DJ has some pretty serious equipment so that's all covered. and another friend is creating the flyer for free.
i kinda want to do a beach party w/ a volleyball tournament and a BBQ going on...for like 100+ people...
i think getting a sponsor for the alcohol might be too much because then it becomes like a public event right? i want this to be like MY party with my friends and my friends' friends...
it's my first party, so i want to make sure i can pull it off and not get in over my head

a tarp?
Seriously jamie, this is deep shit, it can either get incredibly out of your control and be awesomely good or get incredibly out of your control and be awfully bad. You gotta have EVERYTHING covered, twice.
Also, get sponsors.

I definitely need help with funding and planning. That’s my first step. I’ve already told a few friends about it and they are down to pitch in and help. Maybe the pool party is a better idea since it’s my first party and it would be easier that way. Not to mention, skybar is a pretty sick spot and a lot of people know about it, so that alone would bring people there.
