HOW TO AFTER-PARTY

No. 1

Make sure guests know there will be a secondary celebration so they can plan accordingly (shoe change, transportation, babysitter).

No. 2

Select a location that best fits the celebration—a hotel, restaurant, bar, or staying at the venue, if that’s an option. Check out: The Duchess, Frazier’s, Bloom’s, Dutch Courage, Little Havana, The Owl Bar, Revival Hotel, Peabody Heights, and the Point in Fells.

No. 3

Make sure there is plenty of tasty late-night food (think sliders and fries, tacos, pizza), plus fun cocktail and mocktail options.

No. 4

Have fun! This should be enjoyable and not cause any extra stress. If it does—skip it.
