Don't try. Instead, name the route order at check-in, set one anchor bar as the regroup point at a fixed time, and start a group thread with live locations. Sub-groups moving at their own pace beat one herd waiting outside every bathroom. Matching costume elements, same hats, same glow color, let you spot your people across a packed room instantly.
Many big parties are no-re-entry or charge again, which matters when your coat, charger, or a smoke break lives outside. Check the policy at the door before you exit, not after, and get the hand stamp verified where re-entry exists. Plan around it: coat check inside, portable charger in a pocket, and the group exits together or not at all.
Shoot before you go out, in daylight or good indoor light, because bar lighting flatters nobody's face paint at 11 pm. At the venue, find the photo booth or step-and-repeat early while makeup is fresh and lines are short, use a friend's phone flashlight angled from the side rather than direct flash, and take group shots at arrival, not departure.
