8. Go all out with the decorations
There isn’t exactly a template for decorating for a welcome home party. At the very least, you can’t forget the “Welcome Home” banner, but you can also decorate your party space with balloons in their favorite colors, flowers, and photos. To make decorating more manageable, consider picking a theme!
For example, if they were abroad, theme the party around that country, or use a patriotic theme when returning from deployment. If you can’t think of anything else, pick a color scheme or movie they like and run with it. Remember, if you find a suitable venue on Peerspace, odds are, you won’t have to decorate at all! That’s a lot less post-party hassle for you to worry about.
For instance, our friends in Austin, TX can book this Instagrammable trendy, chic, bright event space in Holly. It’s the perfect setting when you want to host a welcome back party that’s both cozy and elegant.
A Peerspace renter shared the following helpful review after booking an event here: “The host responded fast and answered any of the questions I had. It was decorated beautifully and we didn’t have to do any extra to the space. It is also very convenient that she has tables and chairs to use and set up.”
9. Make it a surprise
A welcome home party is the perfect event to turn into a surprise party because, unlike a birthday party, the guest of honor is less likely to suspect anything. To make sure everything goes off without a hitch, follow these guidelines: make sure to hide everything, do not leave any internet browsers open that could reveal the secret, make sure everyone involved is sworn to secrecy, have someone distract them while you set up, and come up with an alibi in case they become suspicious.
This welcome home party idea requires the most coordination and effort, but if everyone is on the same page and keeps quiet, the party can truly be a surprise.
Make sure the guest of honor is very, very surprised by secretly leading them to a Peerspace venue like this modern day upscale speakeasy in Villa Park, IL, where their friends and family members will be waiting to celebrate their return! This amazing space boasts tons of style, a billiards table, a bar, and a sound system, taking any gathering to the next level.
10. Take them somewhere they’ve always wanted to go
This may not be one of the best welcome home party ideas five minutes after they get off the plane. However, after they’ve been back home for a couple of weeks, surprise the guest of honor by throwing a welcome home party somewhere they’ve always wanted to go. For example, say you live somewhere snowy and think they would appreciate an escape from a harsh winter. In that case, book a beachside retreat in a beautiful setting! Invite as many of your friends and family that can come along.
This is also the perfect chance to try catering from a new restaurant, book a videographer to capture every exciting moment and enjoy professional cocktails on the premises. These are all things your Peerspace host can assist you with if you booked a Peerspace private party venue for a few hours!
