2. Create a Guest List and Send Invites
Once you have your venue secured, it’s time to make a guest list. When planning for up to 50 guests, make sure to consider the size of the space and how it will accommodate everyone comfortably. Once you’ve decided on your guest list, send out invitations either digitally or via post, depending on the formality of the event.
Pro Tip:
When inviting guests, include details about the event’s dress code (if applicable), any special activities planned, and encourage RSVPs so you can finalize catering and seating plans accordingly.
3. Plan the Perfect Menu
No party is complete without great food! For a party of up to 50 guests, offering a variety of shareable dishes is a great way to cater to everyone’s tastes. At Dip Drizzle Drink, we specialize in authentic Spanish tapas, making it easy to provide a diverse menu that appeals to all. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of our famous dishes like Patatas Bravas, Gambas Pil Pil, Chorizo in Cider, and Croquetas, all perfect for sharing.
Consider setting up a tapas buffet or opting for table service, depending on the style of your event. Don’t forget to offer a range of drinks, from Spanish wines to cocktails, and maybe even a welcome drink to start the party off right.
4. Add Entertainment
When planning a party for 50 guests, you want to ensure there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained. At Dip Drizzle Drink, we offer live music on Friday and Saturday evenings and on Sunday afternoons. If you’re hosting your event on one of these days, your guests can enjoy live performances while they mingle and dine. Alternatively, you can arrange for a DJ or create your own playlist to set the mood.
Live music creates a lively, festive atmosphere, especially when paired with delicious tapas and drinks. If your event has a special theme, consider matching the entertainment to it—whether it's a Spanish guitar player or upbeat tunes to get the party dancing.
5. Decorations and Ambiance
The right decorations can transform your party and create an inviting ambiance. For a party at Dip Drizzle Drink, consider a Spanish-inspired theme with bright colors, candles, and table settings that echo the rustic charm of a traditional tapas bar. Depending on the event, you can add personalized touches like balloons, photo booths, or even a slideshow to make your guests feel even more special.
Pro Tip:
Keep the decorations simple but impactful. String lights, flowers, and themed centerpieces can enhance the overall look without overwhelming the space.
6. Organize a Timeline
Having a general timeline for your party will help the event run smoothly. Here’s a sample outline:
Arrival and Welcome Drinks: Greet guests with a welcome cocktail or glass of sangria as they arrive.
Food Service: Depending on your choice, begin with passed tapas or a buffet setup. Ensure there’s enough food to keep guests satisfied throughout the event.
Entertainment: Incorporate live music or a DJ set about halfway through the event to keep energy levels up.
Speeches or Special Announcements: If you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion, this is the perfect time to acknowledge it with a short speech or toast.
Dessert and Coffee: Offer a light dessert or additional snacks toward the end of the night.
Dancing or Mingling: Close out the evening with music, dancing, or some relaxed mingling.
7. Capture the Memories
Consider hiring a photographer or setting up a DIY photo booth so that guests can capture their favorite moments. You could even provide a small party favor, like a mini bottle of extra virgin olive oil from Dip Drizzle Drink, as a memento for your guests.
