5 Tips to Ensure the Safety of Belongings During a House Party

​Hosting a party in your own house is one of the most exciting things you’re ever going to do in your life. Sending out invites and cooking the food to perfection are all part of the fun. Yet, there’s something you shouldn’t overlook. That’s home security. Here are five ways to make sure that your belongings are safe when you’re hosting a party at home.

Be Careful With Open Invitations
Many people are making their invitations public. Thus, if everyone knows that there’s an upcoming party in your place, which could be dangerous. Some thief might get to your party pretending he knows someone there. If there are too many guests that you’re not familiar with, make sure that you keep watch on them. Also, don’t use social media to send out invitations. Use email, phone calls, or text messages. Paper invites are even better because those without the invitation are never welcome.
​
Prepare a Guest List
A guest list is one way to ensure that you know exactly who will be there at the party. This will also make it easy to spot intruders that you don’t know. If you’re making a guest list, make sure that you know the people you’re inviting. If you don’t know your own guests well, it’s like inviting strangers all the same. 

Have One Location to Store Guest’s Items
If you're hosting a party, you should be responsible for the safety of other people's belongings. If they have hats and coats, then make sure you store them somewhere secure. You could have a room for that. Store the guests' items in there and secure the room by locking it.

Lock Away Your Own Things
Never display your jewelry or cash during the main party. You should protect your things from any possible theft. Some people are not natural thieves, but they may be too attracted to something. Keep your collectors' items too, such as rare cards or books. Show them only when you have time to watch over them. 

Move Your Things Away From the High-Traffic Areas
Keep things away from spots where many people would pass by as they come and go. If there’s a vase in there or some expensive art or furniture, then you’re risking its safety. To avoid accidental damage, place your valuables, especially your breakables in a spare room.

Some Final Words
You don’t have to worry too much about the safety of your belongings during a party. With a detailed guest list and some basic organization skills, you can get through the worries. When you’ve taken care of your belongings, you can begin enjoying the party. However, getting homeowner’s insurance would give you more peace of mind. In case one of your guests loses his cell phone in the house, you can pay for it with insurance
