With New Year’s Eve around the corner, you’re probably planning a big bash with friends and family. Make sure you host an unforgettable celebration with our experts’ tips to ring in the new year with style.
1. Pick A Theme
A theme is a great way to set the tone for any party, and gives your guests a chance to dress to the max! A Roaring ’20s party with Gatsby-inspired décor, jazz music and champagne coupes is perfect for a glamorous night. Or try a black-and-white glam theme, a classic that works for everyone. If you want a more laid-back vibe, an ugly sweater or pajama party are great options — just scatter some throw pillows and blankets with floor seating for a warm, cozy ambience.
2. Take The Party Outside
Deck up your outdoor spaces with canopies and pergolas and drape them with vines, string lights, flower garlands and kaleidoscopic lamps for a magical evening. Set up multiple high tables for a cocktail evening and a bar for serving your signature drinks and appetizers, or you a beautiful tablescape for a formal and intimate dinner.
3. Go Full Glam
Who doesn’t love a glitzy ’70s inspired party? Create an aura of mystery with shimmery tinsel fringe curtains at your doorways. Sequin pillows, disco balls and fairy lights will make your home feel like retro heaven. Make sure you leave enough space for a dance floor where people can let their hair down!
4. Add A Signature Touch
A signature is a great way to make your party stand out from the rest. Small touches like coloured glasses for drinks, themed drinkware and personalized placeholders are nice ways to do it. A dedicated photo booth with fun props like boas, hats, crowns and masquerade masks are perfect for an Insta photo op — add a polaroid camera to your setup and put up these snaps to a build-as-you-go gallery wall.
5. Set Up A Bar
A party isn’t fun unless there are at least a few drinks to choose from. Get into the festive spirit by creating a signature cocktail for the occasion, and if children are around a batch of hot chocolate should work beautifully. Make big batches of your concoctions and pour them in pitchers or large bowls and use them as table decor to draw the crowd. Or set up a curated menu for your guests and show off your mixology skills!
