Music is an essential part of the holidays, especially Christmas; it can be found blaring from supermarkets and radio stations as early as October, it seems. However, if it's a challenge to find the right music for a Christmas party, then this article is a lifesaver.
Edit Steps
- 1Determine the age demographic of people that will be attending your party. Is it a party for small children? Teenagers? Adults? The elderly? This will greatly influence the music that will be the most popular. Groups such as Alvin and the Chipmunks will probably be more popular at a kindergartner's party, while the classics by Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald will be more greatly appreciated at a party with mainly adults.
- 2Also, consider the vibe you want the party you're throwing to have. If you want the party to have a heartwarming, nostalgic theme, then slower and somewhat more intimate feeling songs will help create that mood. On the other hand, bouncy pop songs will give the party a lighter feel.
- 3Base the number of albums or songs you buy on the length of the party. It would be silly to buy ten Christmas albums for a thirty-minute party class party. Be prepared for the party to be longer than expected, but don't go overboard.
- 4Buy songs that are happy! Too many depressing songs will begin to make your guests sad. Christmas is a time for merriment and joy! Keep that in mind.
Edit Tips
- Albums with various artists such as Now That's What I Call Music will offer some variety.
- Make sure your music is diverse. For every few poppy dance songs, throw in some slower songs.
- iTunes has a Free Single of the Week around this time for year, so give it a shot!
- Check stores for sales on Christmas albums.
Edit Warnings
- Make sure your music isn't so loud that your guests have trouble hearing each other. On the other hand, don't make it so soft that they have to strain to hear it, either.
- Be careful about illegal downloading because you can inadvertently cause your computer to get tons of viruses. Besides, it's illegal.
- You can make playlists on Spotify (it's free to download) and play the music from your computer if you want to cut down on costs.
