Simple Ideas to Refresh Your Events

As event planners or event managers, we all strive to achieve infinitely creative brains chock full of outside-the-box ideas every single time we plan any type of event. If that doesn’t take much effort for you, you’re a genius. But for the rest of us, it can get pretty tiring.

For some, we try an event strategy that works and stick with it. For others, we get stuck in a rut and come down with a case of event planners block – finding it almost impossible to think up something that’s never been done before.

We’re not here to tell you that you have to come up with something groundbreaking every time you plan an event. But we can provide a few new approaches or ideas that will give your event planning an upgrade or a bit of a refresh.

Sometimes, all it takes is reading an article like this to spark a completely different idea on your own. So, cheers to getting all of our creative event planner juices flowing!

All About Community

If you’re planning a community event, you want to make sure people of all ages are entertained – a kid’s event is never fun for an adult if the adult can’t have fun too!

Entertainment for Community Event

Entertainment is key for any community event. It can be the difference between a fun event and a ho-hum event. When choosing entertainment for your community event, it is important to consider the audience and the type of event.

For example, if you are hosting a family-friendly event, you may want to consider a children’s entertainer or a band that plays kid-friendly music. If you are hosting a more adult-oriented event, you may want to consider a band or comedian that is more suited for adult audiences.

No matter what type of event you are hosting, it is important to make sure that the entertainment is appropriate and engaging for your audience. So, take the time to research and choose the right entertainment for your community event.

Add something participatory like a graffiti wall or a craft station. That way, kids and parents alike can join in on the fun together.

While the kids are playing in the streets, bring in a local bar to serve the adults bespoke drinks from a food truck.

When the lights go down, everyone can participate in a family-friendly silent disco event powered by Party Headphones.

With customizable volume controls, individual music preferences, and a sensory-friendly environment, a silent disco is truly suitable for everyone. Throwing a silent dance party may seem a little intimidating at first, but we promise it’s super easy. If you can set up a DVD player, you can set up our silent disco system! Here are some tips to make sure you and your guests have a blast throwing your first ever silent disco:

What You’ll Need:

-Silent Disco Headphones (Enough for Each Guest)

-Your Favorite Dance Playlist

A silent disco is perfect for any type of event

Here’s How to Throw A Silent Disco Party:

Step 1 : Choose a Trusted Silent Disco Equipment Provider

The first, and most important step to throwing a successful silent disco, is to source the proper equipment for your event! Without wireless headphones and transmitters, it won’t really be a silent disco. Luckily for you, we know just the company. Party Headphones has been in the silent disco business for over 8 years, with hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers, which means you are in good hands. We know silent discos and we have the experience to prove it. Before you go any further, request a quote based on the number of total guests you expect to host.

Tip: Some hosts prefer to provide an all-inclusive (free) experience, and others charge per headset rental, so go with whatever kind of experience you are seeking to create.

Step 2 : Pick A Good Venue

A great aspect of a silent disco is you can throw it literally anywhere. Since everything is battery-powered and completely wireless, you can actually have a party in the middle of the desert, or in the most remote place you can imagine! With that being the case, any venue where you have enough room for your guests to move and dance around will work perfectly. Even better, since there won’t be any sound from the music, you don’t have to worry about noise complaints from your neighbors or city sound ordinances. Party on wherever you see fit.

Step 3 : Get Your Playlist Ready

No dance party is complete without a bumping playlist. With three transmitters included in every rental, you have the ability to stream three different audio sources, giving your guests the option to tune in to their taste in music. Not a music aficionado? That’s ok! Getting a playlist ready is as easy as creating a free account on Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or whatever music-streaming app you’d like. If you need some inspiration, check out these free dance music playlists with hours of great beats:

Step 4 : Lights Off, Music Up!

Now that you’ve got some fun music going for the crowd, it’s time to turn down the lights and let the music roll! Party Headphones give guests the ability to individually control the volume on each headset, so each person can listen at the volume level they prefer. All of our headphones feature lighted sides with the ability to change the colors remotely using an included keypad. Press some keys and watch the light show go! For an added effect, and for even more fun, consider adding some fog machines, lasers, and some lighted blow up balls for your crowd to toss around. Our motto is always “the more the merrier!”
