The Best Party: Classic or Casual?

Which kind of party do you prefer, classic or casual? Whether you lean towards invitation only or spur-of-the-moment, how comfortable you feel at the event can make or break your experience. Living along the Gulf Coast, I've been invited to - and hosted - every kind of party. The occasions range from Mardi Gras balls to football tailgates to crawfish boils. Just like every guest is individual, every party is unique. Here are a few ideas for your next party!
