5 Secrets To Create An Event That Will Be Talked About For Weeks

Some events, you leave wishing you could erase them from your memory. Others? They lodge themselves in your brain like that one Davido chorus popping up randomly for weeks. Creating an event that people keep talking about for a long time is a great feeling.

The real big flex is not just filling the seats; it’s making your event the star of group chats, Instagram stories, and random convos long after it’s over.

So, whether you’re hosting a rooftop party, a networking mixer, or a games night, here’s how to make sure your event becomes that event everyone won’t stop talking about.

Pick a Theme That Slaps

“Puff Puff and Cocktail” is cute, only  if you’re fine with people smiling politely, checking their watch, and quietly disappearing before the second round.

A proper theme is the backbone of any event. It tells guests what to expect, how to dress, and most importantly, gets them excited before they even leave their house.

Think: 90’s Throwback, Masquerade Glam, Afrobeat Rooftop Rave. A strong theme sets the mood, influences your decor, and gives everyone a reason to plan their outfit like it’s the Met Gala.

Hook Them in the First 10 Minutes

Guests decide in the first few minutes if your event is worth their time, so you better come correct.

From the moment they step in, your welcome should scream: “You made the right choice coming here.” 

Live band playing? Check. Welcome drinks? Check. Hosts looking like they just walked off a fashion runway? Double check.

If the first thing they feel is excitement instead of regret, you’ve already won.

Give Them ‘This Picture Must Touch Instagram’ Moments

If every guest photo has your neighbour’s clothesline and one confused chicken in the background, you’ve failed them.

You need Instagram-worthy corners: balloon walls, neon quotes, dramatic lighting, flower arches, quirky props. People will take pictures. People will post. And each post = free promo for your next event.

In today’s world, if it’s not on someone’s story, did it really happen? Exactly.

No Dead Air

Whatever you do, keep the vibe alive! 

Events die when the energy drops. That awkward silence between activities? Big no-no.

Get a hype MC. Plan smooth transitions. Done with the band? Let the DJ take over immediately. Going from games to speeches? Keep background music on.

The goal: zero dull moments. The more seamless the flow, the more people will label your event as “mad fun” instead of “time I can’t get back.”
