MICE

Life gets busy, and it’s easy to lose touch with those that are seemingly close to you. However, throwing a party is a wonderful way of getting friends and family back together to catch up and make memories. But where do you host your party? A swish downtown nightclub or finding a classy Manor house or flash party house to rent? Both have many pros and cons, so let’s take a look in more depth so that you can make a better decision about what kind of setting you’d like for your party.

Downtown nightclub

When the word party comes to mind, it’s likely that the setting of a nightclub may come to mind. People dancing, lights flashing and drinks are flowing and that’s exactly what you want for your party, right? However, is a nightclub really the best option for your party? Let’s look at the pros and cons:

Pros

  • There’s already alcohol at a nightclub, so you don’t need to worry about providing drinks to your guests.
  • Clubs have an awesome atmosphere that will keep everyone’s spirits high
  • You don’t have to worry about music, as the club’s DJ will be playing music for you
  • Ending your party and the awkwardness of asking people to leave is eliminated, thanks to clubs having a kick out time and your guests having free reign on when they’d like to leave.
  • You can book out entire rooms in clubs, meaning members of the public won’t be able to enter your party room.
  • You don’t have to bother cleaning up after yourselves

Cons

  • Drinking in a club can work out to be expensive
  • Hiring a room in a club for the night can also be very expensive
  • Members of the public may cause a scene and could dampen the mood of your party
  • Clubs aren’t very personal and depending on what kind of party you want to throw, that might not be what you’re looking for.
  • There’s a kick out time, so your party ends when the club closes

As you can see there are plenty of pros and cons for throwing your party in a nightclub, so let’s look at country houses to see what they can offer before you make a decision.

At first glance, you may immediately take from this that a country house is the best option for your house party. However, it’s important to take other factors into consideration such as the number of guests you’re inviting, what kind of party you’re throwing (costume party, for example), and also what time you have to throw a party. Once you’ve worked those out, you’ll be able to choose the perfect setting for your next party.
