Step 4Promote your party
There are a ton of ways to promote your block party, but here's a simple and direct approach, per the advice of our friend, Arnold:
Tape Save-the-Dates to everyone's front door on your block.
You'll want something colorful, like the accompanying example. However, you'll want to be sure to include the date of the party (conspicuously missing from this example), as well as contact information for the people you designated to take sign-ups.
If you're doing a potluck style party like Arnold's, you'll want to mention that, too. You also might want to use the Save-the-Date as a last-ditch attempt to beef up your team of volunteers. You'll be happy to have a few extra pairs of hands on party day.
One more tip: on the Save-the-Date, give people a deadline for signing up. Deadlines motivate people who might otherwise wait until the last minute to join the party, and you want to have a relatively solid count before the big day.
