When planning a party the primary aim is to create happy memories and have a great time. What you don’t want to remember is the smashed plasma, damaged furniture and fittings, or the trouble caused by uninvited guests. To help keep out unwanted guests and to manage problems as they arise, you should consider a range of security precautions, including hiring a professional security guard for the event.
Here are some of the things you should consider doing when organising your next party:
Inform police that you are holding a party
Think about how you will advertise the party – SMS, email distribution lists or online notice boards can lead to large numbers of uninvited guests turning up
Control who you invite – think about keeping a guest list and consider numbering invitations
Have a definite start and finish time
Let your neighbours know that you are having a party
Consider whether the venue will be able to cope with the number of guests expected.
Store any valuables or breakable items in a safe place
Ensure you have appropriate levels of supervision and security – a licensed security professional to turn away uninvited guests.
Do you have any measures in place to ensure the responsible service of alcohol and that underage guests do not have access to alcohol?
Have a crowd management plan in place
