A few streamers or yellow tape are great for quarantining parts of your street, and thus are key parts of your party supplies shopping list. Moreover, try to clear it up with the local police to ensure that nobody gets arrested. If there's a problem of drinking outside, make sure that people are only served alcohol, and enjoying it, indoors.

3.

The Music. You're going to want to set up your speakers near a power source but out in the open enough so that it can be heard. Remember—the main idea for the music is that it should serve as the background for conversation, not an impediment.

This is your party, after all—the worst thing that can happen is for people to have a messy host.
