If you have a large event coming up, whether it’s a bachelor party or birthday occasion, it can be hard to keep it classy.

With so many differing opinions on what constitutes as a good time, it can result in so many different conflicting opinions. Therefore, it’s a good idea to find a people-pleasing idea that also manages to stay high-brow. While this might almost seem unachievable, depending on who your friends group is, there are a number of ways to combine fun with sophistication!

A boat cruise

Many nights out end up with arguments on which club is the most fun, where you’re most likely to get into and where is the best establishment to get a drink. Booking you and your friends onto a boat cruise allows you to have a sophisticated great night out, and with the bonus of a brilliant view. Sipping martinis on the deck of a boat is far more preferable to waiting in line for a club at 3 am in my opinion. Hiring a party boat that allows you to celebrate through the night and spend quality time with friends is an elegant way to spend time with friends.

Taster menus

Taster menus are always a signal of a refined establishment, but they also cater to a wide variety of tastes. Taster menus allow guests to get a sense of what a restaurant’s kitchen is fully-capable of, by showcasing every type of meal on the menu. They also mean all tastes are catered for, and that everyone will leave with a full stomach.

Cocktails

While you’ll find that most bars have a cocktail happy hour or two-for-one cocktails, going out for sophisticated cocktails is a way to enjoy the art of mixology properly. Going somewhere that combines real hospitality with a knowledge of how to mix and garnish will create a night to remember. 

Formal invites

If you’re hoping to celebrate a big occasion, then creating hand-written invitations will begin your event with flair. Putting time and thought into the letters you send out to people will also put a real personal touch behind your night out. It also gives you an opportunity to be creative. For example, you could try a number of approaches:

• A hand-drawn design: By scanning it onto your computer, you can print it onto each invitation you send out. You can then add accents and highlights using colors and metallic.
• Calligraphy: Even if you can’t draw, or if you have bad handwriting, everyone is capable of practicing a bit of calligraphy. Using colored fine-liners and pens can create unique cards that can’t be found in any shops.
• Gifts: Sliding a small present or token of the party theme will give your guests something to be excited about before the event.

Hosting an event that’s stylish and fashionable is about finding quality where it’s needed and implementing creativity where you can. By creating a night to remember and putting your own unique spin on it, you’ll have pulled together a night out that’s effortlessly chic.
