Now that the weather is warmer, it’s time for everyone to come out of hibernation and mingle! Party season is upon us and whether you’re hosting or attending, there are some party dos and don’ts you should be aware of. Last month we went over some tips for hosting a party in the common area of your apartment community, so if you’re planning a shindig, take a peek for some inspiration. If you’re planning on hosting a soiree this spring, whether in your apartment or the common space, there are a few things to keep in mind.
When it comes to apartment party planning, communal living doesn’t mean you’re bound by the four walls you call your own when you want to host a soiree. In fact, living in an apartment community means you have access to shared common areas that you can take over for your own festivities – assuming you have the OK from management. Common areas often provide a lot more room than your apartment and sometimes even feature fun extras like games. At 363 Bond Street Apartments, Social by 363 offers a chic, expansive area to accommodate larger gatherings and features a billiards table, shuffleboard table, and fireplace. You’ll also enjoy our full bar, as will your guests!
