I experienced that you need two things, to make a very good lan party: a strict organisation and good personell. Define departments (Servers, Games, Contests, Helpdesk, ...), chose at least 3 supervisors for each department (make them work in shifts), assign a sane number of workers to each department, set up a headquarter, make them report there... (read information flow/management).
Think of the event with you as the company and the gamers as your customers. It is not really neccesairy for smaller parties, but you can gain very valuable experiences from it, not only for other lan parties but for your life.
