Plan for the event to occur in the middle of the week. This way, if some singles connect at your party, they will have the weekend free to plan a date.
Invite an equal number of single men and women. Whether you send invitations online or on paper, encourage everyone to R.S.V.P. Invite additional people as necessary.
Play upbeat music at a low volume to keep spirits up without drowning out conversation.
Decorate the party venue with lots of conversation pieces, e.g. artwork, fun toys and picture books.
Strategically lay out paper and pens around the party room so that singles will be able to exchange contact information.
Write name tags for each of your guests and have them wear the tags during the party.
Greet each guest as he/she arrives, and introduce him/her to a few people you think he/she would like.
Set up a few games that facilitate intellectual and/or physical interaction, such as Risk, Twister, Monopoly and Scrabble. Avoid video games, since players will stare at a screen rather than look at other players.
Set up some interactive food, such as make-your-own tacos, sundaes, and so on. In addition, place trays of food all around the room. This will provide conversation fodder for your guests.

How to Prevent Drinking and DrivingIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
Whether you're celebrating a birthday with a party at a bar or just getting together with a few friends for drinks after work, develop a plan to address how everyone will get home safely. Ensure your group has at least one designated driver; if no one volunteers, step into the role yourself. If everyone in the group wishes to drink, pool your money together for a taxi ride to and from the establishment.
Hosting a Party
When hosting a party at which people will drink alcohol, remind your guests that drinking and driving isn't acceptable. Gather every guest's car keys upon arrival and only return the keys when a particular guest is ready to leave and is sober. Allow intoxicated guests to sleep over, or you can call a taxi company to arrange rides for those who wish to get home. Encourage some of your guests to be designated drivers and provide a variety of nonalcoholic beverage choices.
Government and Community Options
The responsibility to prevent drinking and driving extends beyond the individual. Government and community groups take steps to work toward eliminating this problem. Steps include prosecuting drunk drivers to the fullest extent of the law, enacting harsher penalties for those with higher blood-alcohol concentration, revoking the licenses of offenders and mandating alcohol-treatment programs. Devices such as electronic monitoring and ignition locks also aid in preventing offenders from repeating their actions. Community groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving educate the public about the risks of driving drunk and partner with various levels of government for awareness campaigns.
Drink in Moderation
The blood-alcohol concentration limit in all 50 states and the District of Columbia is 0.08. Driving with anything at or above that in your system is illegal. Because it can be difficult to predict how one or more alcoholic beverages affect your level, it's best to avoid drinking any amount when you plan to drive. In general, keep your alcohol intake at a moderate level, which equates to a maximum of one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. Excessive alcohol intake can lead not only to impairment but long-term health issues such as liver disease.
