So you’ve been blessed with a new home, a job promotion or a cute baby, and you decide to have a party to celebrate the occasion. It is only proper to make your event very lively and leave a good impression on your guests. You can give life and meaning to a party by playing some good music. Here are a few reasons why experts include music in their tips for planning a party menu: 

To Make Guests Comfortable

Getting your playlist right can ease guests who feel shy or awkward into your party. Hearing a familiar song can move the heart of such people to sing softly, hum or tap their feet to the rhythm of the music, causing them to feel at home and more likely to step onto the dance floor.

Improves the Mood of the Party

Without music playing in the background, such a gathering of people can be confused for a group meeting. It’s okay to have guests chattering among themselves and laughing at funny jokes, but playing good music helps to liven up the mood at any party. You can influence the way your guests feel by preparing a playlist that matches the theme of your party.

Helps Guests Connect Easily

While some of your guests may be acquainted with one another, there’ll be those who aren’t familiar with everyone in the room. Music makes it easy for everyone to feel welcome and presents those who share the same taste in certain genres with an opportunity to connect easily. Knowing your guests makes the task of creating a playlist that caters to everyone’s taste easier. You can also observe the mood of your guests and know when to play a certain track. The songs you play mustn’t be popular, but they should be able to match the sense of style or personality of your guests.


Dancing is an energetic activity, so don’t forget to serve food and drinks to your guests. You can order the signature smokey jollof rice of Ounje Alabeke for any party you host in the New Jersey area.
