From ceilidhs to discos, the entertainment is a vital part of a Party and often takes up a big part of the evening. Ensure that you have heard or seen any entertainers. Bands might send tapes or invites to hear them play and discos should allow you to choose many or all of the songs played. Alternatively, entertainment agents can arrange everything for you.
