Thinking about
hosting a party to watch President Obama's State of the Union address? Here are some hosting tips to get you started.
Pick a location
When choosing a venue for your event, look for a quiet place with enough room for your guests and a reliable internet connection. Your home (or a friend's home) could be a great option, but don't forget about your local restaurants, coffee shops, or community centers—folks have hosted successful parties just about anywhere you can think of.
Make a guest list
Inviting guests is one of your most important roles as a host. Your watch party will be an opportunity to bring together supporters in your neighborhood and help them get to know each other. Start by making a list of people in your life who would like to know more about the President, who have helped out with the campaign in the past, or who are interested in organizing around local issues. Then give them a call, send them an email, or even drop off an invitation in person.
