10 Tips For The Perfect New Year's Eve Celebration

One celebration everyone looks forward to is New Year’s Eve. Whether you are in bed and sleep your way through it. Or join the many in partying the night away. We all have plans for that night. One big question everyone asks is where to celebrate. Do you go out or have a party at home. We are looking at 10 tips for the perfect celebration.

1 – Create A Guest List

The first thing to do decide on how many guests you would like to invite, and then compile a guest list. Always have a few on the reserve list if you are limited to numbers. For those who can not attend.

2 – Party Theme

Once you have the guest list, you will then want to find a theme for your party. Will it just be a get together, or will you want to go in with a theme – a few suggestions you could use are –

• Gatsby Glamour – Embrace the roaring ’20s with a Great Gatsby-inspired theme. Think glitzy decorations, art deco motifs, and guests dressed in glamorous flapper-style attire
• Black and Gold Affair – Create an elegant atmosphere with a black and gold color scheme. Use gold accents in decorations, table settings, and attire for a sophisticated and classy look.
• Disco Fever – Transport your guests back to the disco era with a disco ball, funky lighting, and a playlist filled with disco hits. Encourage guests to wear their grooviest ’70s attire.
• Winter Wonderland – Embrace the winter season with a magical “Winter Wonderland” theme. Use white and silver decorations, faux snow, and twinkling lights to create a snowy atmosphere.
• Neon Glow Party – Create a vibrant and energetic atmosphere with a neon glow party. Decorate with neon lights, provide glow sticks, and encourage guests to wear bright and colourful attire.

3 – Send Out The Invitations

Next up is sending out the invitations, letting people know you are having a party and the theme you have chosen. Many people find it easier choosing and designing their own invitations. This means that they can have the perfect invitation to match the party theme.

4 – Have A To Do List

A to do list is a must when planning a party.AMP In fact you will probably have more than 1 to do list in the run up to the party.

5 – Food & Drink

Decide on what food and drink you will be serving. Will it be hot food or a finger buffet? Will it be bring a bottle and bring a dish. Add a shopping list to your to do list

6 – Decorations

Another addition to your to do list, is party decorations. Depending on your theme you can get decorations that are a perfect match. This is where you can grab a cuppa and look at the many places online for decorations. Look at personalised decorations such as Customised table runners.

7 – Costumes

If you are planning a fancy dress party, as hosts you have to go all out and have an amazing costume for the theme you have chosen. Will you be hiring a costume? If so make sure you visit a hire shop and book your costume early. Or start piecing your costume together yourself.

8 – Create Playlists

No party is complete without a great playlist. Start compiling a playlist that will have the party going and people up dancing. Don’t forget to include some cheesy tunes.

9 – How Are you Counting Down To The New Year

Think how you are going to countdown to the new year

• Set an alarm for half an hour before
• Have party poppers ready for all the guests
• Pour out the bubble
• Put the radio or tv on to hear Big Ben’s chimes

10 – Breathe

Probably the most important thing for your to do list. Remember to breathe and not stress. No one will notice the little things. They will remember a great night celebrating with people they want to celebrate with. It is a party so have fun.
