It's party time again and you are are wondering how to host a karaoke party at home that will be an entertaining experience for all your invited guests. Who doesn't love to party especially when it involves a theme and being given the opportunity to wear outrageous costumes and make-up?
Time to Organize
First on the agenda you should put pen to paper and make a comprehensive list of everything needed to make your karaoke party go down a storm!
It may seem like a tedious task, but it will be well worth the time you spend on it to ensure everyone has the time of their lives. From Music to Themes, Refreshments and Equipment there is plenty to consider.
How to Host a Karaoke Party at Home
Choose a Theme
If you want to make your karaoke party a memorable experience for your guests the theme you decide upon is very important. It needs to be a theme that everyone can get involved in and enjoy to the full.
If it involves themed costumes, give plenty of notice to your guests so that they can either create their own outfits or hire an appropriate costume for the night.
A good idea is to have a box on hand with a few extra accessories in it for those guests who may feel a little under-dressed when they arrive. They will be more than grateful that you have been so thoughtful..
Below you will see a few of Karaoke Kooks party theme recommendations for you to take into consideration:
Themed parties are always fun and give people the chance to dress up and let their hair down. Even the most seemingly introverted person can become an extrovert when given the opportunity to wear a costume and disguise themselves!! Karaoke is all about having FUN!!
Karaoke Party Playlist
Your choice of music is vitally important when you are wondering how to host a karaoke party at home that will keep your guests entertained long into the night.
Put together a party playlist. No doubt you will have a fair idea of the genres of music your guests will like and you can always ask for suggestions if you are unsure.
On the other hand if you are hosting a country or pop music night then it will not be too difficult to find plenty of good tracks for you playlist.
Add a mix of songs for Male voice, Female voice, Duets, Love Songs etc. and you can always check out some popular karaoke song playlists online for added inspiration.
It would be a good idea to queue about 20-30 songs to avoid any 'awkward silences' and keep the party atmosphere pumping.
Alternatively, if it is a themed karaoke party, choose the songs relative to your theme.
Refreshments....Food & Drink
Next on your list of how to host a karaoke party at home, you need to think about refreshments. You will want to ensure that your party guests are kept happy with plenty of food and drink throughout the night.
You don't need to go overboard spending hours on end in the kitchen. Remember it's your party too!!! Simply have plenty of snacks, nibbles and a variety of both alcohol/non alcoholic drinks available.
You can always organize a pizza delivery for later in the evening when everyone has worked up a hearty appetite. Sounds Good!!
Party Invitations
It's time to send out the invitations to all your friends and family but be sure to consider your budget and space available in your home beforehand. Don't get carried away and invite everyone on the block!! You might live to regret it!!
Try to mix the guest list up with some 'party animals', 'dedicated singers' and 'closet singers' to add a mix of magic to the party. The More ,The Merrier as the saying goes!
If you are hosting a themed party, don't forget to inform your guests on the invitations so that they will have time to prepare well in advance.
At the end of the day it is your guests that make the party, so give careful consideration to your list before you send out those invitations!
Party Games
Consider some fun activities that you can add to the night such as party games where everybody can get involved e.g. Music Quiz, Singing Battles, Name the Song, Don't Forget the Lyrics etc. Everyone will happily join in to show off their musical knowledge.
These are just a few popular games you can throw in to add even more fun to the party night.
To make it even more competitive have some 'prizes' on hand to give to the 'winners' as everybody loves to win a prize, even if it is only some Candy, Alcohol or a little Winners Cup.
Prizes could be awarded for Best/Worst Singer, Best Karaoke Duet, Best Costume etc. to make your party an unforgettable experience for all your guests.
