The best parties I have been to had the following:
Big Parties (50+ ppl):
-Lots of booze. Variety is important.
-Music played at a very reasonable volume. If I have to exert any effor tto talk over the music I get annoyed.
-Busy, but not crowded to the point where you cannot move.
-Good mix of guys and girls.
-Not too many couples (it sucks being one of the few single people at a party)
-No trouble makers. Some people just can't behave.
Small Parties:
-Friends are key. Whether it is a 20 person party or a 50 person party, most people should know each other or have some sort of connection.
-BYOB is fine, but if you want to provide booze, variety is important.
-As odd as this sounds, keep sitting and standing areas somewhat seperate. I'd prefer to have no table/chairs than 3-4 chairs at a small table. It is awkward to talk to people when you are standing and they are sitting, and vice-versa.
-Music is good. At smaller parties its usually best to let the guests pick music from your collection or from any CD's they brought.
-Chilling outside on a patio is great during decent weather.
-Couches for drivers to sleep on if they drink.
