How to Create an Interactive and Memorable Event
Parties have become more interactive in recent years, with new and exciting options available to create an exciting experience for guests. Post COVID, guests want more than simply dining, talking and dancing. Now, guests expect to be entertained with a variety of activities and event experiences.
One very popular trend is to incorporate the use of social media. Many parties now have dedicated social media backdrops and event hashtags. Some of our client have even set up cloud communities for guests to share photos and videos, as well as interact with each other. This creates a more connected and engaging experience for all guests that lasts well beyond just your event.
Another popular trend is to incorporate escape rooms into parties. Escape rooms are a type of interactive game in which participants are locked in a room and must solve puzzles in order to escape.
For larger groups, consider a murder mystery party where guests work together and compete with other groups of guests to solve the mystery.
Finally, consider injecting virtual reality into your parties. This can be done in several ways, such as providing guests with VR headsets that they can use to explore different worlds or games. VR can also be used to create interactive experiences, such as allowing guests to play games together or compete in challenges.
These are just a few of the ways that parties have become more interactive in recent years. With new and exciting options available, there is no limit to the possibilities when it comes to creating a memorable party experience.
Here are some additional tips for planning an interactive party:
Choose a theme that lends itself to interactivity. For example, a luau theme could include activities like hula dancing and limbo.
Send out invitations that clearly state the theme and activities that will be taking place. This will help guests to come prepared and know what to expect.
Provide plenty of activities and games for guests to enjoy. This could include anything from board games or trivia contests that guests can play on their cell phones, to scavenger hunts where they have to run and find something that another guest might have.
Craft stations are very popular and allow your guests to create an event keepsake. Make it even more special by branding it with your event logo or company name and making it a useful gadget or wearable garment.
Hire an emcee, DJ or band to provide music and guided entertainment. This will help to pace the party and keep it going all night long.
Take lots of photos and videos of the party and send them out after your event has ended. This will help guests to remember the event and share it with their friends and family.
By following these tips, you can plan an interactive and memorable event.
