We totally get that throwing a party involves a ton of planning, from the invites and menu to the cocktails and playlists, but it also comes with many benefits for your mental health and overall well-being. Let’s discuss!
Organizational Skills? Fine-Tuned.
There’s no way around it: If you’re hosting a party, there has to be some kind of organizational skills involved. So, if you’re working on improving your organizational skills, throwing a party could be a great place to start. If something doesn’t work out, the stakes are pretty low. And if everything works out perfectly, you’ll be overcome with happiness and pride because you pulled it off.
Good Vibes = Good Mood
It goes without saying, but a party should encourage positive vibes and put everyone, including yourself, in a good mood. If this isn’t enough reason to host a party, we don’t know what is.
Playing Catch Up
When was the last time you got all your friends together and had time to talk and enjoy each other’s company? If you’ve been missing your friend group, having a party could be a fun way to get quality time together.
Strengthen Your Immune System
Research tells us that friends can improve your immune system. That’s right: People with strong friendships have better mental health, a lower risk of premature death, and less stress, which can strengthen your immune system.
Embrace the Stressful Season
Everyone handles stress differently, but because stress is inevitable, it’s never a bad idea to learn to become comfortable in the midst of it. Party planning is a “fun” way to perfect the art of embracing stress.
Nice to Meet Ya
Throwing a party is a great way to expand your social circle. It’s also important to note that as we get older, meeting new friends becomes more difficult, but having a party and asking your friends to bring a plus one is a fun and relaxing way to meet new people.
Parties Are Just Fun
And the number one reason to throw a party? They’re fun!
