Neighbours and Party Tips
Don't turn your party into a lifelong feud with the neighbours!
Parties are fun for most, but can turn into a nightmare for
neighbours.
Here are a few tips to ensure that you remain on good terms with
your neighbours after your party ends.
1. Tell them about your party well in advance. They need to
know start and end times, number of guests etc. 2. If possible
invite your neighbours. 3. Make sure that your guests don't park
where they shouldn't and ensure the neighbours have access to
their property at all times. 4. Keep the noise to a reasonable
level especially after 11 pm. 5. Many people even though they
are upset with something don't complain so check on your
neighbours during the course of the party to make sure that they
are OK with everything. Give them a quick contact in the event
of problems. 6. Respect your neighbours views. If you're party
involves anything that could cause offence ensure that it
doesn't take place in full view of the neighbours. 7. If your
neighbours have young children be especially vigilant regarding
your guest behaviour in view of the neighbours. 8. After the
party make sure you clean up in front of your neighbours house
as well as your own. 9. If you have outdoor lights and
decorations make sure they don't light up your neighbours house
as well. Bright or flashing lights can be just as irritating as
loud music. 10. A post party thank you gift like birthday cake,
or balloons for the kids etc. Just something small will do just
so they know you appreciated their cooperation.
Then you can look forward to hosting your next party.
