I'm throwing a small party at mine for a headcount of around 12 - I've been speaking to this girl and I've invited her and her mates along with my lad group. I plan to blast some music in the bar shed, get some drinking games going and chill in the hot tub along with a lot of drinking and maybe beer pong and picallo (drinking game). However, I need some tips on how to throw a decent party along with some ideas and how to break that first hour when everyone is quiet.
