Damage to household items was caused in 6% of house parties during 2011, the same percentage that resulted in damage to high value electrical items, wall and upholstery stains and garden damage.
Some 5% of party hosts suffered from theft while 7% of parties ended with carpet stains last year.
Colin Greenhill, director of Santander Insurance, said: “The Queen’s Jubilee weekend is a great opportunity to throw a celebration with your neighbours, family and friends.
“It’s good to see that so many people are planning some form of celebration; however given the prevalence of accidental damage and theft during party celebrations, we are urging people to review their policy cover and make sure they are adequately covered.”
