XXX PARTY 1 basıcs party basics PARTY BASICS Creative concepts Most parties have a purpose: to celebrate, whether a birthday, an anniversary or the start of a new adventure. A group of well-wishers, a couple of bottles of wine and voila! A party. But there are parties and there are parties. Every person should get to be at the centre of an utterly brilliant party at some point in his or her life. Central to a successful shindig is a good concept, an idea beyond the sentiment the party represents. It should be an extension of the person(s) being celebrated: a Bal Argentée for the glamorous type, a scavenger hunt for the outdoors type or an art themed tea for the creative type. Coming up with themes can be great fun – the more bonkers the better in my opinion – but it does require some thought. All themes have potential, but are they appropriate? Consider your audience carefully: try to make sure that everyone you invite will understand and enjoy the party. Your theme should be versatile – it will influence your invitations, your venue dressing, your entertainment, your food and drink and your guest’s clothing. The fancy dress party has been known to strike fear into even the steeliest of adults, so choose a theme that can be referenced with little fuss, as well as giving scope for extravagant dressing up. Try to work with your interior rather than against it. There’s no point pretending that a suburban semi is the Palace of Versailles, but with a couple of cleverly pinned Army Surplus parachutes and some scatter cushions it can make a decadent setting for a Roman Bacchante. Inspiration can be found in all sorts of places, but history is always a good start. Look at famous parties in the past (see the last chapter of this book) or think about eras with a style you admire. You can also look to television programs you enjoy, books that you’ve read or pretty much anything that sparks your imagination. Just remember to really give it some welly, half hearted efforts won’t cut the mustard. XX PARTY! party basics Types of party There are a lots of options open to you as a host, most of which are dealt with in subsequent chapters. Deciding what sort of party to throw is a simple matter of evaluating your circumstances and finding the format that fits. If you’re lucky enough to have both a reasonably large house and relaxed outlook (or perhaps very reliable friends and very few possessions) a house party may be in order. If you have a little budget available and want to make an impact, a large-scale party in a hired venue will fit the bill. For more intimate entertaining an elaborate dinner is a great opportunity to flex your culinary muscles. If you want an elegant event with a fixed start and end time a cocktail reception is a neat solution, but if you prefer an earlier party then afternoon tea is perfect. For those who enjoy going a little off-piste anything from a picnic to a pool party can be executed in style with a little forethought. Think about the venues available to you, the number of people you’d like to host and how much you’d like to feed them. All of these factors will influence the type of event you choose to put together. Never take on more than you want to out of obligation and be realistic about the amount of money you have to spend from the very start. Invitations Your invitation sets the tone of your party. Of course these days not all invitations need to be as thick as a plank of wood and hand engraved to be special, it just takes a little care. If you’d like to produce a polished printed invitation it’s advisable to visit your local printer. Go in armed with a collection of printed items you like to give the printer a bit of guidance on the style you’re aiming for. There are several different printing methods open to you: a) Letterpress: expensive but beautiful, printing process indents the paper lightly b) Litho print: expensive in short runs, but not too bad if you’re printing hundreds. Will allow for unusual or textured paper that digital machines can’t print onto. c) Digital: great value with a good finish, but can only print onto smooth papers up to a certain thickness Of course there’s also the home-made option: buy some nice paper and create your own design.

  • Rejuvenate Like Royalty This Summer with the King's Ginger 'Royal Teacup' Cocktail to Toast the Queen's Coronation Celeb
    Rejuvenate like Royalty this Summer with The King’s Ginger ‘Royal Teacup’ Cocktail To toast the Queen’s Coronation celebrations this summer, Berry Bros. & Rudd have exclusively paired with The Cocktail Lovers to create The King’s Ginger Royal Teacup cocktail. This rejuvenating tipple uses Berry Bros. & Rudd’s very own King’s Ginger liqueur, originally created for King Edward VII in 1903. The King’s Ginger liqueur is one of the spirits to be showcased by J.J. Goodman, the London Cocktail Club’s leading mixologist, at The Coronation Festival on 11-14 July. This one-off event will be held at Buckingham Palace and will see Goodman demonstrating the best of British cocktails in the Food and Wine Theatre, where attendees can enjoy this sovereign solution to quenching ones thirst during the hazy summer days. Rich and zesty, the uplifting secret to the cocktail is The King’s Ginger, a seductively golden high-strength liqueur with a warming aroma of ginger, lemon, sherbert and golden syrup. The liqueur was created to stimulate and revivify His Majesty during morning rides in his new ‘horseless carriage,’ a Daimler, in 1903 and has been appreciated by bon viveurs, sporting gentlemen and high-spirited ladies ever since. Fresh, zesty and quintessentially English, The Royal Teacup is refreshingly easy to prepare and designed to be served in a teacup. The fizz in the drink lengthens the cocktail, giving a celebratory feel and making it perfect for special occasions. The Royal-Tea Cup Ingredients: 40 ml The King's Ginger 15 ml homemade rhubarb syrup* 25 ml Twinings Lemon & Ginger tea** 10 ml fresh lemon juice 25 ml English sparkling wine Fresh ginger, raspberry and small sprig of mint to garnish Method: Place two big ices cubes in a tea cup.
