While everyone would have drawn up big plans towards the beginning of 2020, all such schemes were put to rest for the better part of this year. Our homes deftly transformed into our workplace, entertainment hub, recreation zones, and even a secure den for the occasional jamboree with friends.
This year is about to end soon, and you will be scouting for some innovative New Year party ideas. If you are planning to invite your besties for a house party this New Year’s eve, here are some innovative new year bash ideas put together to help you throw the best New Year party in town.
A party theme adds a sense of conformity to the gathering and a method to the ensuing madness. Pick any popular theme that adds not only colour to the event but is also easy to comply with. Trending themes include dressing according to ‘Resolution 2021’, ‘world travel’, ‘masquerade’, or simply a good ol’ cosy pyjama party.
‘A great company maketh an awesome party,’ and we couldn’t agree more!
Lockdown your attendee list, keeping in mind the available space in your home and the right set of people to keep your party spirits high. Make a cool e-invite with the details including, timing, theme, RSVP, etc., and send it to your buddies well in advance.
If you have been postponing your plans to redo your home décor arrangements for a while, now is the time to get your hands dirty. Think about how you can blend your home décor with the party theme for the upcoming event. Check if you require an upgrade to the existing furniture arrangement, get your walls redone, or revamp the sound and light settings.
Remember, you are throwing a party, and the ambience should make your house inviting to your guests. Keep enough space for the guests to move around, interact with others, and dance with ease.
A bar counter is a good ice breaker if the guests are not known to each other. Whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic (or both), a well-designed bar menu will keep your guests in high spirits and make the party a lot more interesting.
If you have a bar set up already, great! In case you don’t, turn your existing furniture or cabinet into a well-endowed bar counter and get ready to witness the smiles on everyone’s face.
Hungry tummies can seldom enjoy a party. Keep your guests’ appetite interested in a mix of bite-sized and regular dishes. The emphasis should not be on preparing a lavish spread but a menu that is thoughtful, easy to create and serve, and consumable for a longer duration.
Go for food preparations which are baked, cheesy, and stuffed- sure shot winners in any house party. To make it an even more intimate affair, you can ask your guests to bring along a dish of their choice.
New Year’s Eve is a grand celebration of being thankful for the year that went by and of optimism towards the one ahead. What can be a better companion on this eventful moment than a few sugary delights?
Desserts and confectionary items such as cupcakes, truffles, chocolate chip cookies, puddings, tarts, tiramisu, etc. have a surreal feeling of ‘Happiness guaranteed in each bite’ stamped all over them. A sweet farewell for your beloved guests, indeed!
Decorative items such as balloons, party poppers, noisemakers, etc. will ensure that your party’s overall vibe will never plateau. Make adequate arrangements and see how your guests have a whale of a time with these items.
House parties and games go hand in hand. Arrange for a plethora of games depending on your hosting capacity and how deeply you want the guests to bond with each other. Popular game options are:
Put that dainty corner (or any wall) of your house to good use by setting up a photo booth. Enhance the aesthetics of this experience by throwing in some quirky accessories such as headbands, hats, goggles, masquerade masks, slogan boards, and shiny sparkles.
Do you want to get the stars to shine on you as well? You can put a string of fairy lights around the booth and witness the beauty of your photos get magnified by a gazillion times!
Near your house entrance or any other common access point, place a container with paper chits and pens. You can request your guests to fill in their goals or aspirations for the next year (or even their feedback on the party) and share these memories with them at a later point in time.
