Music
Music plays a pivotal role in the party. The right song tracks can change the mood of the gathering, so a playlist for the night is a good idea.

This way, they become more involved in the party. Having a proper music system and HiFi speakers especially with Dolby sound can help to create the ambiance of the party.
Food
The menu is an important part of any party. It can be served either in a buffet or sitting-down arrangement; but it's essential to communicate with the invitees, especially if a party is scheduled around lunch or dinner time. After having the final headcount, the host can finalize the essentials to accommodate everyone on the day of the party. The party guests should stay satiated, so plenty of finger foods that are like main dishes in addition to snack foods can be included on the menu. Appetizers like meatballs, pigs in a blanket, miniature pizzas, bean dip, or chicken wings are a good idea to serve.
Dance Floor

Hiring a DJ or a live band is a great idea for this purpose, as it can help achieve a lively party vibe overall. In this case, floor standing or stand mount Hifi speakers are the best choice. Soundbars or sound bases can serve the same cause. For an outdoor dance floor, outdoor portable speakers can be used.
Photo Booth

Along with it, including a photobook with pens and stickers can result in double the fun since guests can stick their photos with their personalized messages.
Games

Having a ping pong, foosball, or pool table are also great additions to a house party; or you can set up a karaoke machine for a night where guests can have fun singing songs and dancing to the music. If there are multiple activities, then the host needs to make sure there is a separate space for each. There should be enough space for guests to easily participate in the activities. Some activities can be organized outside on a porch or in a yard, and others can be inside in the living room or a basement.
