Celebrating the New Year is the most popular festivity around the globe, and the most popular celebration for it is through a big party. Organizing a New Year’s Eve party is not difficult if everything is well coordinated in advance. There are numerous ways to celebrate the New Year. In this article, we will give you a few ideas for party themes that are perfect for any New Year’s Eve celebration.
The Numbers Theme
Everyone will watch the clock on New Year’s Eve, so a numbers theme would fit. You can place a clock in the middle of the table, surrounded by glittery decor and candles.
Or you can cluster a group of clocks on a riser in the middle of the buffet table. Set all the alarms to midnight. Use cookie cutters shaped like numbers to turn brownies and finger sandwiches into numerical treats. Make stick-on numbers for each guest and label their cup or glass.
An Eco-friendly Theme
You can also use an eco-friendly theme and decorations for your New Year’s Eve party. Decorate your party room with potted plants and live herbs instead of cut flowers, and invite each of your guests to take one home at the end of the party. You may also include a small card with wishes for the New Year along with planting instructions. Light up the party room with candles and eco-friendly LED lights.
60’s Theme
Another fun idea would be to organize a New Year’s Eve party with a vintage theme. The 1960s was a romantic and exciting era; many people still love and are nostalgic about those years. Choose the best songs from the 1960s and classic food from that decade.
Invite your guests to dress up in the 1960s style and arrange your decorations to match the 1960s. You can also organize a contest with prizes for who is the best dressed or most authentic with their 1960s dance moves.
Casino Theme
A casino theme can be great fun for a New Year’s Eve party and your guests will certainly enjoy the festivities of the New Year merged with the glamour of a casino. You can arrange for classic casino-style elements, such as roulette tables or card games. Have a small serving staff dressed in the casino style. Choose some sophisticated drinks and appetizers to complete the atmosphere.
A Function Venue Party
You can rent a function venue for the New Year’s Eve party and decorate it with your theme motifs and colors. The advantage of a function venue is that it offers a lot of space, and you can throw a big party if you wish to have an extensive list of people. A function venue usually offers more function rooms so you can organize a buffet, a bar, and a dancing ring.
When you decide on the venue, you must ensure the location is easily accessible to all your guests. It is a good idea to plan an invite list ahead of time so that guests can RSVP, giving you an exact number of guests. People can make their plans beforehand, so you need to send invitations with enough notice in advance.
Nowadays, things are different, and therefore, it’s perfectly alright to send invitations through email, cell phones, or social networks. Set a deadline to RSVP so that you know the exact number of guests and have enough time to plan. Choose a theme for your New Year’s Eve party, either from the above or your own. A fun idea is to also organize a costume contest.
Finally, the most important thing is to spend this night with people you love, with whom you can kiss and say ‘Happy New Year’!
