So I've tried and failed on 2 occasions to host a small intimate private gathering.
Either I'm a glutton for punishment or 3rd time really is a charm, as I'm giving it another go. April 17th/18th to be precise, have learned to plan way in advance.
I'm looking for any tips or thoughts on how I should go about this in order for it to be taken seriously. Yeah I'm a single guy, so already a mountain to climb but.....I am fully verified and will also have a female friend joining me for the evening.
Thanks in advance  |

Maybe set up a couple profile I think you will be more successful if that’s fully verified and there are some socials coming up you can both go to get yourselves out there . |

"PM your fab friends with an invite. If they can come tell them to invite some of their fab friends as well x"
Yes that's the road I'm trying to go down. Invite a couple im friendly with and ask of they would like to invite a couple they know. |

You could try and arrange a social gathering rather than a party.
I know it's not your intention but a social is a good way of getting folks together without the emphasis on playing.
Then you can suggest a follow up party at a later date inviting some of the singles/couples that you met through the social.
Just a thought. |

The sad truth is single guy thing is a down fall
Only reason I know I held parties with my ex when I tried holding them after the split all but one failed but do keep trying just never give up on them
Send out as many Invites as you can it's your party you make the list of people going
And have fun |

One of the hottest and best parties we have ever been to was arranged by a single guy! So don’t let that put you off at all. He just networked through his friends on fab to generate the guest list - so defo try that as others have suggested xxx |

I would get yourself and friend to a night at cjs and get meeting people even if its just socially, pick a night like valentine's theme night for instance where its going to be packed full of hot sexy people going, get mentioning your party in conversation (word of mouth will get around very quick).
Like a small social of 10 can turn into a large social of 70 in matter of 2 weeks because people talk .
You will honestly have more luck if you meet people in person socially and then before you know it, you're being verified by loads and boom you will have alot of interest.
Just how i would do it. If 1st and 2nd attempt didnt go to plan. Just a thought  |

I have a male friend who hosts great parties. Your first party may have teething problems but you learn as you go along. I much prefer private parties to clubs. |

See if the Gilotons are still on here. They used to do a mean party. Certainly be able to give you pointers I’m sure. |

Definitely great advice. If you’ve met people in person they are more likely to turn up. Decide on your venue and possibly ask for a deposit. That also helps ensure people turn up.

Thanks for the great advice everyone, I really appreciate it.
I do like the idea of branching out socially 1st. It's just a lot harder to do that with someone you have the occasional fun with as opposed to going with your partner.
Tried the whole deposit thing once and never again. Was accused of all sorts lol. |
