Tips for hosting your own TV premiere party

There are a lot of good things that come with fall, like pumpkin spice lattes and chunky sweaters. But fall also brings a lineup of exceptional television programming. All of those shows that left you on the edge of your seat last spring are finally returning, and what better way to celebrate than with a get-together? Here are a few fun party planning ideas:

Plan accordingly
Be sure to throw your event on the date that your show premieres. It may seem like an obvious tip, but it’s an important one if you want to add to the excitement and avoid any potential spoilers. Plan to start the party at least an hour before the show airs. This gives guests enough time to arrive and get settled.

Seating
If you’re having more than a few people over, it’s important to make sure that everyone has a comfortable seat to enjoy while they watch the show. When planning for a larger group, a couch might suffice, depending on its size, but set out extra seating as well. Grab chairs from other rooms of the house and make sure they are arranged in a way that nobody’s view is obstructed.

Snacks
What’s a great party without food? Give your guests something to munch on. Go for typical finger foods like bite-sized sandwiches, fruit, cheese, crackers and sweets. You may even want to have a menu that goes along with the theme of the show.
