√             Make contact with other parents/guardians before the party 

√             No written invitation - no party

√             Check people off a list at the door to help avoid gatecrashers

√             Ensure that the party is not listed on social networking sites
               or the internet

√             Ensure there will be adequate adult supervision and everyone
               has agreed on what’s ok

√             Consider what security has been arranged to prevent or manage 
               potential gatecrashers.  You may want to notify local police of your
               party in advance.

 √            Don’t supply alcohol

 √            Don’t allow BYO alcohol  

 √            Provide adequate food and non-alcoholic drinks such as water and soft 
               drinks

  √            Be prepared to look after anyone who appears unwell

 √            Be prepared to contact parents and ask them to come and get their 
               teenager if they appear unwell or intoxicated

  √            If someone needs to go home have an adult available to drive them or 
               call a taxi.
