Things you should consider BEFORE your party:

• Decide on appropriate venue by considering:
  - the number of guests you wish to invite
  - transport options to and from the party
  - safety issues (try to avoid hazardous venues such as boats, or
  near pools or high traffic areas, especially if guests will be drinking)
• Give out written invitations. Try to avoid casual or group invitations
• Encourage guests to avoid driving to the venue if they know they will be drinking
• Find out local taxi numbers and have them on hand for guests. You could even consider pre-ordering taxis to arrive at the finishing time
• Provide plenty of food, plan to make it available through out the party
• Decide how alcohol will be served. Ensure low and non-alcoholic drinks are available
• If you are having amplified music, notify your neighbours as a courtesy
• Notify local Police and register your party with the WA Police Service Party Register
• If you intend to sell liquor or charge entry you may be in breach of the Licensing Laws. An ‘Occasional Licence’ is required if you are intending to sell alcohol at a home party
• Organise to have someone e.g. a friend or relative to supervise and be responsible for security.
