Korva rescues the ideas worth keeping from podcasts. Each one becomes a Card.
You only need two or three conversation starters, especially if you are willing to answer them yourself.
A party blindfolds about 25 strangers, rotates conversations every 10 minutes three times, then reveals each person’s final partner.
“What do you do?” can exclude laid-off workers and caregivers. Ask how they know the hosts or what they enjoy instead.
Replace “we should hang out” with “What would you love to be invited to?” Then choose an activity and a date.
Harlem rent-party invitations circulated through shops, pubs, and hairdressers. Improvised music and dancing carried on until dawn.
The Cedar Tavern gathered New York’s abstract expressionists. Kabarett Fledermaus did the same for Vienna’s Secession movement.
For most of human history, drinking, dancing, music, and hedonism belonged inside religion, not outside it.
Guests experience entering your space only once. Do not open the doors until the room is ready.
Give a party its identity through scent and music. Choose deep cuts distinctive enough to prompt, “What is this?”
Welcome unfamiliar guests with undivided attention, eye contact, a drink tour, and permission to help themselves.
Mismatched hand-blown glasses and unusual ceramic vessels give every guest a personal glass for the night.
Safe discomfort makes experiences feel more novel and memorable. The best party may begin just beyond your comfort zone.
Use a customized Proust Questionnaire at dinner parties to transform simple questions into deeper connection.
