Skip the usual house or restaurant party. Try a loft<\/a>, garden<\/a>, theater<\/a>, rooftop<\/a>, art gallery<\/a>, or even a historic jazz club. The more unique the space, the less decorating you will have to do. All you have to do is search Peerspace for cocktail party-perfect spaces<\/a>. Our platform can help you turn any venue imaginable into the site of your next cocktail party.\u00a0The best part? There will be no mess to clean up at your house in the morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Turn the party into a mixology class<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"bright <\/picture>

Allow your guests to leave inebriated but educated! Hire a bartender or find a friend who tends and ask them to give a brief demo on making drinks. Some bars actually host these classes as well, so consider renting out a local spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re daring, teach it yourself after getting a crash course<\/a>. All you will need is some basic mixers, rum, vodka, gin, whiskey, garnishes, shakers, cups, and cocktail straws. You can find disposable supplies online<\/a>. This learning experience will be unforgettable for your guests, and who knows? It just might inspire them to come up with some cocktail party ideas of their own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make it a 1920s-themed f\u00eate to add a dash of class<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cocktail parties flourished during the Prohibition era. So raise your mint juleps, serve up some oysters, and celebrate the spirit of the ’20s a century later with a themed cocktail party. Encourage guests to dress like they just walked off the pages of The Great Gatsby<\/em>, play popular music from the time period, and maybe even set your venue up like a speakeasy \u2014 or perhaps simply rent a Peerspace speakeasy \u2014 and create a password that every guest must say before they are granted entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a photo booth, leave some space for a dance floor, decorate with lots of gold accents, and get down like it\u2019s the roaring ’20s! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Skip the cocktails and opt for an alcohol-free event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"23rd <\/picture>

Yes, it\u2019s possible to have a cocktail party sans cocktails. Sober curiosity<\/a> is a big trend, with alcohol-free bars popping up and becoming popular millennial hangouts. Hop on the bandwagon and serve mocktails at your party. That way, no one has to worry about calling an Uber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 36 ideas for stunning, delicious mocktails<\/a> that will wow your guests and make them forget that it\u2019s a dry party. This is also an ideal way to be inclusive if you are inviting guests under 21 or guests who do not consume alcohol for religious or health reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Entertain your guests by hiring a live band<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Stylish <\/picture>

One of the best parts of going out is the live music, which is often found at local bars. Bring that extra special element of entertainment to your party guests by booking a local band or solo musician for your cocktail party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you book a performance venue<\/a> on Peerspace, you can ask the venue’s host to help you book performers, photographers, catering, and more. Just be sure you have the space and outlets the musicians need to perform, and check with the space’s host that you’re compliant with the noise ordinances around your venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Host a boozy brunch to keep your guests well-fed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who said a cocktail party had to be an evening affair? Host a brunch-time party with bloody Marys and various flavors of mimosas (like orange, mango, pineapple, and grapefruit). For the food, serve light breakfast bites, such as egg muffins, quiches, yogurt parfaits, mini muffins, scones, doughnut holes, or croissants. Add some vases of bright flowers to tables, and find some fun brunch-themed napkins<\/a>, and you’ll have the perfect boozy brunch bash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Switch it up with CBD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD-infused alcoholic drinks, such as beer and cocktails, are rising in popularity \u2014 and for a good reason. Add a twist to your traditional cocktails with these recipes for drinks featuring CBD<\/a>. The oil can complement existing flavors in classic cocktails and add a unique scent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, as an added bonus, the supplement may help relieve pain and stress, as well as reduce anxiety. Just make sure your guests are fully aware of what is in their drinks, as everyone is affected by CBD in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Strike up some conversations with can’t-miss icebreakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"retro <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing worse than a party where no one is talking. Encourage your guests to chat with new people by planting some conversation starters around the room. This is one of the best cocktail party ideas if all of the guests are not already acquainted with each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice-breaker questions<\/a> can be printed onto napkins, coasters, or table cards, or you can use Table Topics cards.\u00a0If you\u2019re creative, try typing up and printing your own. You may just help create some new friendships or relationships!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambiance is everything. Make yours the best by incorporating our funky glow party ideas<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

9. Play some games to keep the good times rolling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’re never too old for games! And no, we don’t mean drinking games. Games can be a fun way to break the ice and liven up the party. If you have access to a projector or TV that hooks up to the internet, Quiplash<\/a> is a hilarious online party game that allows you to show off your comedy chops. More traditional games like Apples to Apples, Cards Against Humanity, Headbandz, and charades can also be a blast to play, especially while tipsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Plan a cocktail party with a focus on local<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Corset <\/picture>

One of the biggest trends predicted to emerge in 2024 (besides themed events, that is!) is a focus on local. Carry this awesome trend into your cocktail party by booking a local Peerspace venue (bonus: all Peerspace venues are owned by local hosts, so you’re supporting a community member when you book with us!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with booking a local venue, be sure to also offer your guests spirits, mixers, juices, liqueurs, and nosh made by local businesses. It’s a fun way to discover and share even more of what makes your little slice of Earth that much cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Make it an al fresco cocktail party to reach new heights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Peerspace, it’s easy to book a venue with outdoor space so you can take your cocktail party out of doors. We recommend you book a stylish venue with a rooftop bar<\/a> to provide the perfect ambiance for your gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Host a Derby-inspired cocktail night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bring the excitement of Derby Day to your gathering with a cocktail-focused twist. Serve classic Southern sips like mint juleps and bourbon smashes, and encourage guests to don their best Derby attire \u2014 bold hats, colorful dresses, and dapper suits. It\u2019s a fun way to turn a simple cocktail night into a festive Kentucky Derby Party<\/a> atmosphere without needing the racetrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by booking a truly distinct and wildly fun Peerspace venue. Book a rooftop<\/a> to offer stunning views and fresh air, an underground speakeasy to transport your guests to another era, or anything in between. By adding a little extra flair to your shindig, you\u2019ll keep your guests talking about it for months to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
