11 Fantastic Party Entertainment Ideas

H3: 1. Host a Tent Party Outdoors

Aren't you going to have an outdoor party? Play with your friends in the vibrant nature. You can run happily on the grass and talk under the stars. That sounds like fun, doesn't it?

But outdoor parties are prone to weather, so to minimize the impact of the weather, we can choose a suitable tent for the party. The choice of tent should be combined with different activities to consider.

The following is for you to introduce several outdoor parties suitable for the tent and its application scene:

Pole Tent

The pole tent in Sheltent is made of aluminum alloy, which is much lighter than the pole made of ordinary steel. A few people can complete the tent installation.

The joints are reinforced, and the tarpaulin is made of 100% waterproof PVC, which can effectively resist wind and rain while providing a comfortable shelter space to meet most entertainment needs.

However, if the event features a runway show or other performances that require a large, uninterrupted space, a low-cost pole tent might not be ideal. The support poles in the middle of the tent could obstruct the flow of the event or interfere with the setup of a catwalk. In such cases, we recommend using a frame tent with no internal poles.

Frame Tent

The frame tent does not need to use pillars as support inside, because its support point is mainly the external skeleton. In this way, the internal space will not be hindered. It is especially suitable for stage activities, fashion shows or formal dinners which have spacious requirements for the venue.

In addition, the frame tent can also be flexibly assembled according to the size of your activity site. Such as two 10x10 frames can form a perfect 10x20 tent. 

You can calculate the number of tents you need to book based on the number of guests. The side of the frame tent is usually equipped with adjustable curtains, which can effectively block the wind and rain. Besides, it can be opened as needed to maintain air circulation inside the tent.

Clear Top Tent

The clear top tent is made of high-quality transparent PVC fabric, transparent characteristics make it perfectly integrate the outside natural scenery and indoor atmosphere, greatly enhancing the space's spaciousness.

Through the transparent tent, guests enjoy the sunshine during the day and can look up at the stars at night. They can enjoy the surrounding scenery. The high-quality PVC material can ensure that the party is free from weather interference. It makes the party run smoothly in any environment.

The transparent tent is especially suitable for parties or weddings, and its special transparent roof design is enough to make your party unique. At night, if you match the lighting effect and some decoration, the dreamy atmosphere will fill the entire venue.

2. Cocktail Hour

Cocktail hour is a way to both arouse the atmosphere and provide guests with a relaxing social session. To ensure that this process goes smoothly, we should prepare a variety of different flavors of cocktails for different guests to choose from, but also intimate for some non-drinking guests to prepare non-alcoholic drinks.

Or you can hire a professional bartender on-site for guests to mix their own favorite wine. Guests can witness the mixing process, it will become more interesting.

Alcoholic

• Classic Margarita
• Mojito
• Long Island Iced Tea
• Old Fashioned
• Pimm's Cup

Non-alcoholic

• Milk
• Coke
• Fruit Juice
• Soda

3. Dance Floor

The dance floor is key to creating a lively atmosphere, encouraging guests to relax, enjoy and join the party atmosphere. The dance floor needs to be attractive to get guests to join more quickly.

In terms of attraction, we must do some professional lighting design. Using stage lights to illuminate the entire stage, which can attract the guests' sight well.

Followed by the setting of the sound system, setting the right type of music according to the theme of the party, which can make the guests' body involuntarily shake up and join the party.

4. Virtual Reality

VR events are super fun at parties, allowing everyone to enter another virtual world instantly! Wearing VR glasses, people can experience a variety of exciting games or adventures, completely immersed in them.

Guests will get a lot of freshness through collaborative games or self-challenging games, and overall party cooperation will improve.

It breaks the traditional party play and brings more surprises and fun, and guests can create some cool memories together!

5. Tarot Reading

Tarot reading are party entertainment with a sense of mystery and interestingness, and adding this entertainment to your party will impress your guests.

If you know tarot cards, you can act as the deck breaker for the party. Personally, provide interpretation to your guests, and guests will feel very friendly, but remember to prepare enough cards, enough for the guests.

If you don't and don't need to worry. You just hire a professional tarot card maker who will do this part perfectly for you. Guests present at the end of the event can talk to each other about their predictions, which will be a fun experience.

6. Sports Competition

Some sports competitions can be held to increase the participation of guests. For example, you can hold mini basketball, tug-of-war, Frisbee and other activities that do not need to use a large field.

Another advantage is that these activities do not need to prepare a lot of things. It only needs to use the basketball for the game, the rope for the tug-of-war, and the Frisbee for the Frisbee game.

These sports are simple and guests of all ages can join. But make sure you have plenty of drinks on hand to keep guests hydrated.

7. Karaoke

Host a karaoke bar maybe a great party entertainment idea to liven up your party. First, be sure to provide clear audio and microphone equipment.

As you know, if there is a problem with the equipment or the overall sound quality is poor during the singing process, it will result in the guest making a bad impression of this part.

Then, build a song library in advance, preferably including the hottest songs of the moment, as well as songs covering all ages, to ensure that every guest can participate.

8. Treasure Hunt

Treasure hunting is an excellent party entertainment idea that can enhance guests' enjoyment. First, make sure the clues are clear, the difficulty is appropriate for guests of different ages, and avoid confusing guests with too much complexity. Moreover, you need to choose a safe and suitable location to reduce the possibility of slipping or colliding.

In addition, you may need to put a little thought into the setting of the game reward. It can be some practical things such as a water cup notebook, etc., or some beautiful picture frame, or home decoration.

These things do not need to cost a lot of money, but the winner will feel the owner's care.

9. Cooking

Cooking can also be a good party entertainment idea, and guests can collaborate to cook different delicious dishes. In this part, you need to prepare a lot of ingredients.

As you know, there may be failures in the cooking process. The guests have to cook again, which will cost a lot of ingredients. So you need to make sure that you prepare enough ingredients to cope with the unexpected situation. You also can prepare some simple recipes to prevent too much difficulty resulting in a waste of ingredients.

It is also important to prepare different cooking utensils, as we know, from the processing of food ingredients to serving, this process needs to use a variety of tools, you can make a list of these, to avoid missing them in the preparation process.

10. Masquerade

Masquerade is also a super fun party entertainment idea because it perfectly combines mystery, creativity, and sociability. We need to explain to the guests in the invitation that there will be a masquerade so that guests have enough time to prepare their own mysterious and special masks.

Although the guests will prepare themselves, you also need to prepare some extra masks in advance. In case some guests forget to prepare so that they can not participate in the carnival, which will be a bad thing.

11. Board Games

Board games can relax you and make it easy to get into the party atmosphere. To prepare a perfect board game, you need to make sure that all the accessories, cards, boards, dice, etc. of board games are intact.

When choosing a game, try to choose something familiar to everyone, such as Subbuteo, Jenga, Monopoly, Exploding Kittens, etc., so that everyone can quickly immerse in the game and not spend too much time learning the game.Doesn't that sound like a good party entertainment idea?
