How To Throw a Party While Your Parents Are Out Of Town

Start planning the party as soon you know your parents are going out of town. The better prepared you are, the less chance you have of getting caught, and the better the party will be.

Prepare a shopping list of food, drinks, and cleaning supplies. Make sure you have enough money to cover the cost.

Get your friends to help set up and clean up. Save some cash in case you need to offer them a monetary incentive.

Prepare the party space by hiding anything that is valuable, breakable, dangerous, or could be ruined by liquids or rowdiness.

Set up trash cans strategically inside the house and in the outdoor party area. This will make cleanup easier.

Stay focused throughout the party. You need to be able to react if something unexpected happens, or to stop something bad from happening. Have fun within boundaries.

Clean as thoroughly as you possibly can. Cover every inch, including outside.
