Is it awkward asking people to leave a party? How do you end a party properly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of an eventful party, it can feel awkward to push people out. However, the fun has to end eventually and Priya Parker’s book The Art of Gathering<\/em> has all you need to make ending a party less uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at how to end a party successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Close the Gathering<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, your gathering will have to end\u2014and treating this ending with the respect it deserves will cement the experience in your guests\u2019 minds. We\u2019ll first explain why deliberately closing your gathering matters. Then, we\u2019ll share Parker\u2019s advice on how to end a party in a way that honors the rest of your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker explains that deliberately closing your gathering is essential <\/strong>because it provides your guests with a transition. As Parker notes, endings are inherently sad, so many people deliberately avoid officially closing their gathering. For example, the party host lets the guests trickle out rather than signaling that they should go home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Cultural differences<\/a> in how hosts close their gatherings may convince a guest that a host hasn\u2019t<\/em> deliberately closed their gathering when in fact they have. For example, in the Midwestern United States, a \u201cwelp\u201d from the host signals that the gathering is now over<\/a>\u2014but\u00a0someone not familiar with Midwestern English wouldn\u2019t interpret that as an official close.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Parker argues that not<\/em> deliberately closing your gathering does your guests a disservice. If you\u2019ve hosted well, you\u2019ve created a transformative experience\u2014and, just as you helped your guests transition from their regular lives to the experience of your gathering at its beginning, it\u2019s also<\/em> your duty to help them accept the end of this experience and transition back into their normal lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: No matter how well you close your gathering, your guests may still struggle to transition back to their normal lives. For example, the K-pop band BTS has an elaborate and deliberate close to their concerts that takes up nearly a third of the concert. But BTS fans still often experience sadness and separation anxiety<\/a> post-concert, despite being eased back into their normal lives.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how<\/em> do you help them transition? The first step, according to Parker, is to signal the end <\/strong>to your guests. Figure out a way to let them know that things are drawing to a close and so they should behave accordingly. If you\u2019re not sure when<\/em> to signal this (like if you\u2019re hosting a party<\/a> with no set endpoint), do it when you feel that the gathering has fulfilled its reason but is still somewhat lively; if you wait too long, your gathering will lose momentum and end on a less memorable note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Even if your gathering hasn\u2019t yet fulfilled its reason, you may be forced to signal the end to your guests due to external circumstances\u2014such as the closing of your gathering venue. If so, you may wish to continue <\/em>the gathering in a separate place. For best results, consider whether you should have some type of afterparty before<\/em> the end draws near\u2014keeping in mind both the venue and the guest list. For example, if you\u2019re having a wedding, you should consider planning for an afterparty if your guests are on the younger side<\/a> and likely to want to keep the party going after your reception venue closes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, handle organizational matters<\/strong>\u2014such as by telling guests where to return their ID badges. Just as you don\u2019t want to open<\/em> with organizational matters, you also don\u2019t want to end<\/em> your guests\u2019 experience with them. If you need to thank someone, do this now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, bring the community together.<\/strong> Do something that allows your guests to remember both what they did at the gathering and how they connected with each other. For example, BTS\u2019s members give short speeches<\/a> near the end of each concert discussing their experience of that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Other experts give some practical tips for handling organizational matters<\/a> and bringing the community together<\/a> in a workplace meeting\u2014although they don\u2019t specify the order in which you should do them. At the end of your meeting, clarify who<\/em> is going to take what<\/em> action steps. If someone\u2019s contribution was particularly important during the meeting, acknowledge their efforts. Finally, review what you\u2019ve learned in the meeting: This reinforces both the importance of meetings and your company culture<\/a> of professional development.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourth, prepare your guests for the final transition. <\/strong>This act should allow guests to understand how to relate to other guests they see outside<\/em> of the gathering and how this gathering will inform their actions in their daily lives. The right party favor can communicate this idea; for example, a bumper sticker reading \u201chope\u201d might remind people daily to hope more in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Many large conferences provide gifts to their attendees not to continue the message of the gathering but for other reasons; they may wish to provide branded swag to increase brand awareness or to advertise to new customers<\/a>. In that case, a well-thought-out (branded) party favor\u2014like a high-end water bottle\u2014will likely have a bigger impact than cheaper swag (like a plastic pen). Alternatively, consider donating on behalf of your conference participants. One company found that when people were asked to choose between swag and a donation to a cause of their choosing, 40-60% of people chose the latter option.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, give them a physical or metaphorical exit<\/strong> to signal the final moments of the gathering. Whether you lead them outside a doorway or tell them it\u2019s the end, the very last moment of your gathering matters. It should communicate to your guests that the gathering has come to a conclusion, let you celebrate what happened, and allow them to return to the outside world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Although Parker assumes that the gathering ends when people leave, other experts suggest that you should follow through after<\/em> the official conclusion of the gathering by sending a thank-you email<\/a>. Doing so keeps you in your recipients\u2019 thoughts, improves your reputation, and potentially can build excitement for your next event.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
