How to Plan for an Exciting New Year’s Eve Party to End the Year Joyfully

Plenty of festive activities happen during the December holidays; there are Christmas parties everywhere and a lot of sweet food to enjoy. However, the fun can continue a little. The few days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve can be utilised to ensure you end the year in a zestful way.

Organising one memorable party is one way to celebrate New Year’s Eve and welcome 2022 in a perfectly joyful mood. Below are the necessary steps to plan the best ending to 2021 and create lasting memories as you prepare for a new year.

#1. Send e-invitations to your friends and family.

You might have a busy schedule to contend with, but the first step is to send invites to your guests as soon as possible. That way, you can prevent your friends and family from committing to other events and it will be easier to estimate the number of guests to expect.

Using Whatsapp, Facebook, or email is one of the most simplistic methods of inviting friends and family. For example, you can set up a group event on Facebook and keep track of your invited friends’ responses. When creating the perfect invitation, ensure your invites bear the following information:

-The date and time of the party

-The location of the party

-You might request your friends to carry a bottle of wine or party nibbles

-The dress code for the party and if your guests can tag along with their partners

-The RSVP date

#2. Choose a suitable theme for the party.

You are free to choose any theme that suits a New Year’s Eve party; nonetheless, it will significantly help if you include some glitz and sparkle to ensure the party gets off on the right foot.

In addition, if you cannot help but use some sparkle, you can choose a metallic theme. From this point, we have focused on a silver and metallic gold theme, with numerous options to select from at every level.

#3. It’s finally time to hang the decorations.

After deciding on the color scheme for your party, you can hang a few decorations that match that color to add more pomp to the event. For example, you can use typical decorations such as garlands, tassels, bunting, and iridescent fringe curtains. Below are a number of our personal favorites that we recommend for your New Year’s Eve party:

Balloons

Using balloons as party decorations is a timeless hack that still works today. Balloons are a popular decoration because they are easy to use and add extra enjoyment to the atmosphere; everyone loves balloons.

You can rely on our beautiful metallic star confetti balloons to excite your party. They are sold in two colors, i.e., silver and gold, and are ideal for the New Year’s Eve party theme mentioned earlier. We love our confetti balloons, and we encourage you to read our Tips & Tricks to learn how to blow these balloons.

#4. Use appropriate tableware like napkins, cups, paper plates, etc.

Using disposable tableware is one of the most effective ways of removing the stress from party planning. Suitable tableware can include disposable items such as napkins, cups, and paper plates.

Nonetheless, the tableware needs to be exciting, never mind that it is disposable. More importantly, use tableware to express the metallic theme of the party further. For example, you can use our gold foil cups and gold star plates to bring out the party’s theme.

Christmas may be over, but we can always add more sparkle by throwing one more party!

#5. Remember to bring party drinks and nibbles.

Having fun is one of the main goals when celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends and family; you do not want to worry about food in the middle of the party. We encourage you to buy different forms of seasonal party food from your supermarket, like party nibbles or appetizers.

Our preference for party nibbles includes dips, crisps, mini quiches or mini pizzas, sausage rolls, and vegetable kebabs. Simply put, there are many options for party food; but it is best to go for food that can be heated in the oven and served with minimal hassle.

For party drinks, the best option is to ask your guests to bring the different drinks of their choice. That way, everyone will have something to drink, and you will have enough drinks at the party. Remember to include this detail in the invitation to give sufficient notice to your guests.

Many people really like to add something a little different at Christmas time too and a little shisha can be a nice addition. You can set up a nice area with cushions and a shisha pipe, with some nice flavoured shisha from your local London shisha lounge and guests will hav a great time.

#6. Include enjoyable activities such as games.

Most times, New Year’s Eve parties begin some hours before midnight; this time can be used to play a few games with your guests so that everyone stays active and excited.

Remember, the games become even more fun after a few drinks! For example, our Star Edition “Who Am I?” game will keep all your guests entertained, including your friends and family! All you need to do is pop the glasses on and try guessing who you are using a few questions, and soon everyone’s ribs will be cracking.

Also, you can add to the excitement at your party to end the year on a high note and begin the new year joyfully by creating a confetti shower using this unique Confetti Cannon Shooter! We are sure this hack will amaze all the guests and add more sparkle to the party; you only need to notify them before setting it off! It is incredibly showy!
