It can be a great opportunity for the host to introduce themselves and explain why they created this space and what the space is available for. Moon: The parties that my partner and I like to throw often have a welcome circle. The people will know the first hour is mingling, and the doors are going to shut at 7 and nobody else gets to come in. Gunn: At parties that are well done, there's usually a schedule that's already followed. So do you just, like, fire a starter pistol to get going? Gunn: It's nice to usually have a quiet space within a party where people can go and just have, like, a snuggle and not have every place be fucking. There's no reason why you have to dive headfirst into whips and chains. If you want to invite a bunch of newbies who might be nervous, you could have one area be just a make-out session-or you could have the entire party be a sucking-face party. Moon: Depending on the space, you could delineate different levels of rooms. Having something that's more hearty and nourishing is helpful.
Gunn: The parties that are the worst are the ones that just have candy.
