How to Throw a Block Party
Block parties have become extremely popular in the last few years. All the residents of a certain block plan parties at which the entire block is invited, for the purpose of fun and entertainment. If you are planning to organize a block party, you will need to take into account a few key things.
Sending out invitations at the right time to all the people who you plan to invite is extremely important. You must also make arrangements for the music and food for the party in advance, as the event will not be the same without them. Also, make sure that there is something for the children to do, so that they do not get bored at the party.

Send invitations
The next thing you need to do is send out all the invitations for the block party. Make sure you invite every family from the block and list down the names so that no one is missed out in the end. You can also personally call up everybody to invite them to the party, but make sure you invite them two or three days before the event. -

Plan for food

Music
No party is complete without music, and you need to make sure that good music is played throughout the party. A great way to do this would be to hire a good DJ for the party, so that the tempo remains high throughout. People love to dance at such parties, so music is extremely important. -
