[h=1]Hosting a memorable no tobacco party for your friends[/h]
When it comes to throwing a great party, you'll need to take the time and effort to create a theme that is engaging as much as it is fun. While it helps to have delicious food and party favors, there are a few ways that you can come up with a theme that's memorable and exciting for your guests.
One idea you might want to use is a no tobacco party. Sounds simple, right? While there may be party guests who don't use cigarettes, this is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers of tobacco products to smokers and nonsmokers alike. Similarly, you can familiarize your cigarette-using guests with the concept of vaping - an alternative that can reduce their exposure to tar and tobacco.
Hosting an exciting party
As a party host, you might feel pressured to impress your friends. That being said, there are a few ways that you can take the edge off and ensure everyone has a good time.
Oprah.com states that one of the easiest ways to do this is to bring the right music to the party. If your guest list is primarily made up of adults, why not consider a s....y jazz CD for your stereo system? Will kids be coming? Put on some dance music for everyone to enjoy.
Once you have the perfect music to get everyone to relax, give your guests a chance to mingle and get to know each other over appetizers. In the end, you'll find that you'll have to do little to put everyone in a cheerful mood.
Be available and social
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is taking yourself out of the party, according to SheKnows.com. If you're spending the entire time washing dishes, you aren't socializing your guests - the people who want to see you most! To have a little fun and make sure you don't miss a beat, get involved in your own party. Take a break from serving and cleaning up to chat with friends you haven't seen in months.
Use small talk to your advantage
Because your party has a theme, you can use it to your advantage when it comes to small talk. If the conversation seems to be dying down, why not bring up the benefits of an e-cig? At your no smoking party, you'll want to be armed with statistics that can help you raise awareness of the dangers of cigarettes - do a little research ahead of time to give yourself plenty to chat about once cocktail hour arrives.
Get creative with your food
Another way to ensure the theme of your party resonates with your guests is to get them thinking about it when they chow down. Consider icing and dressing cookies to look like "no smoking" signs or top a cake with an anti-smoking image. While you don't need to include your message on every piece of food, a little bit here and there can keep your party theme in the back of your guests' minds.
Don't forget the party favors
What better way to celebrate at a no tobacco party than with vaping party favors? Think about giving away electronic cigarettes or starter kits to your guests to get them interested in the concept of ditching cigarettes. Even if they don't smoke, they can pass it onto one of their friends who's looking for a new way to get a nicotine fix. In the end, you'll be helping individuals live a healthier lifestyle without tobacco products.
