Throwing a good party is like preparing for a long journey at sea. The staff and organizers can only do so much preparation beforehand to bring everything needed.
Music, refreshments, food, a theme, bubbles, etc.
But once that anchor is raised, it is up to the guests on whether that party will be good or not. Unless that party is a silent disco in which case that party will be awful no matter what.
If you are an amateur party thrower, please watch this video by acclaimed comedian Todd Glass on how to maintain atmosphere.
