House parties have increasingly become a popular part of the Kenyan entertainment scene. Many friends are opting to have a bunch of their friend’s at their place over a few drinks as opposed to going out and be surrounded by strangers.

Hosting a house party is hectic enough because of all the planning involved and the uncertainty involved as you can’t predict what will happen. Many hosts usually swear never to host a party again after a house party because of the after-effects. Or if they do, there are a number of people who are usually blacklisted from attendance.

Here are a few things to observe to avoid getting blacklisted from all your friends’ parties. Because then you clearly won’t have a social life will you? Read on.

  1. Three’s a crowd

When you get invited to a house party, everything has been planned for accordingly. Therefore, showing up with your best friend, her sister and her deskmate is an absolute NO-NO! For one, these extra people were not invited. They will crowd up the space which is probably not big enough to hold all of you.

They will also mess up the budget. If you have to tag people along, have some courtesy and ask if the host is comfortable with it. And they shouldn’t be more than two! if they’re more, hold your own house party for them instead.

2. Bring a drink

Drinking is a big part of the partying culture all over the world. Some people don’t believe its a party if there’s no liquor. If you know you are one of these believers, carry your own bottle to the party. The economy is bad enough without you finishing the liquor for everyone else. At least with yours, you can drink as much as you like and minimize the pressure on the host’s drinks.

You also can’t expect one person to quench all your thirst plus twenty others. Its only logic.

3. Don’t have sex in the owner’s bedroom

This is probably the most disrespectful thing anyone could do at a house party. Just pause and ask yourself, would you like it if someone did the same to you. As difficult as it sounds, look for a more acceptable place. When you do get a place, carry tissue with you. Absolutely DO NOT Don’t wipe with anything you find of theirs lying aound.

Also, we understand that you are terribly horny but don’t do it at the neighbour’s door either. Your host has to live in this flat or neighbourhood long after the party is over.

4. Hands off the fridge

Unless you’re topping up the wine from the fridge, keep your hands off anything that isn’t officially on the menu. Only eat what is provided. Please don’t eat everything in their fridge and drawers. If you really feel hungry, have some common decency and ask the host first.

5. Keep your unsolicited advice to yourself.

While it is expected of you to behave at a party, it’s a whole other thing if you are busy calling people out for their actions. If the host has no problem with people drinking alcohol, making out on the couch or skinny dipping, then, by all means, mind your own business. Leave your unsolicited advice outside the door. Don’t be a party pooper.

6. Help clean up.

The host has given you a fun night where all you had to do was show up and everything would be catered for. The least you can do is help clean up after.

7. Don’t break stuff

Hey, furnishing is hard enough without some dunk idiot breaking all the furniture and fine china.

8. Don’t get too drunk to handle

This is not a rave honey. You need to know how to hold your liquor and handle it like an adult. Some people get belligerent when they are too drunk while others start throwing up all over and need to be carried. Don’t be that guy at the party!
