It’s been teasing us for the past few months but it looks like the weather has finally remembered that it’s supposed to be summer.
As things heat up, many of us will want to celebrate the sunny days with family and friends.
That also means that someone must volunteer to host.
If your house is the designated party location, you’ve got to make sure that you’re hosting the best summer party of the year!

Sun Bingo has put together this quick guide as to just how you can do that.
We’ve also got an incredible Summer Treats promotion that’s awarding lots of summery goodies that’ll help you be the Party King or Queen.
Here’s what you need to know about hosting a great summer party.
Guests
Spontaneity is always fun but summer is a busy time. People will make plans, especially in the nice weather.
CHECK OUT DAILY FREE BINGO GAMES
Make sure to give your guests enough notice so that they have your party circled in the diary.
Who are you inviting? Is it family, friends or a combination of both? Do you want to mix social groups or stick to just inviting the friends from one group?
Let your guests know whether it’s for the whole family or if they need to find a babysitter.
Food and drink
There will always be dietary requirements from at least one guest!

Make sure to check whether there are any allergies or dietary restrictions so that you can try to cater accordingly.
It’s a good idea to have an even mix of soft drinks and alcohol, plus plenty of water available if it’s a hot day.
Check whether any dishes need preparing in advance or need to marinade overnight.
Also, be sure to have made lots of ice cubes or bought a pack of ice in advance.
If you’re braving a BBQ, check out the barbecue beforehand to make sure it’s ready for action.
HOW TO PLAY POWER OF GODS: VALHALLA
That includes whether you have enough briquettes or gas, depending on what your barbecue uses.
It might be nice to have guests bring a dish to share out the cost and responsibility of getting everything organised.
Coordinate what everyone is bringing, otherwise there’s a high chance that you’ll end up with three potato salads, two desserts and no mains dishes!
Music
You have a three options when it comes to music: use a premade playlist, create one yourself or try to find an advert-free music streaming service.
THE HIDDEN GEMS OF THE CASH CAVE ROOM
The premade option takes the hassle out of doing it yourself but there could be some rogue songs hidden among the banners.
Creating it yourself guarantees that every song is on trend with the vibe that you want your party to have but will require time and effort in advance.
A music streaming service could be a good combination of hassle free and the songs being good (thanks to shuffle suggestions) but you might need to pay for the app if its advert free.
Depending on how many people are coming, you could assign someone else to play DJ for the night or suggest that everyone pick a song and make a playlist out of the requests.
Decorations
If your party is more of a casual affair, you might not bother decorating.
That being said, if there’s a theme or it’s an occasion such as a birthday, a few decorations are a good idea.
You can buy multipacks that come with a variety of decoration options that all keep to a colour scheme or theme.
Always allow more time than you think to decorate!
Also, make sure that you have ways to stick down or hasten the decorations.
Don’t rely on how much you think you have in the cupboard; it will not be as much as you thought you had.
Weather plans
It’s summer, the forecast is for nice weather, this is surely an outdoor event… right?
It’s also the UK.
Plan something outdoors and there is a significant chance that the heavens will open at some point.
That’s okay, so long as you have a backup plan. Have an indoor space ready to host everyone if it’s no longer possible to be outside.
YOU CAN PLAY FOR FREE AT SUN BINGO - HERE'S HOW
The same is true in reverse, if the weather is nicer than you thought it would be, make sure to have your garden summer-ready so that you can take the party outside!
