Love hosting parties but stuck on ideas for celebrating New Year’s Eve this year? We’ve got you covered! Below are our favourite New Year’s Eve celebration ideas for a fun evening that’s sure to leave a lasting impression with your guests.

Theme

Do you have a New Year’s Eve party theme in mind? Starting your party planning process with a party theme in mind can help pave the way for the other aspects of your celebration.

Quite often, your chosen party theme will set the overall tone and help pull together different aspects of your event including your invitation design, what decorations to choose and what activities and entertainment will go well with your chosen theme.

Some examples of New Year’s Eve party themes include:

• Glamorous – encourage your guests to dress up in stylish (and maybe even over the top) outfits and accessories.
• Masquerade – supply your guests with decorative masks to wear at the party to create an air of mystery at your event.
• Fine Feast – why not go all out by serving up a feast of food for all your guests?
• Wine & Dine – perfect for wine and food lovers, this theme can centre around different wines paired with different types of food as an accompaniment.
• Glitterfest – host a celebration that incorporates all that shines and sparkles into your New Year’s eve decorations, your party invitations and even table cutlery.
• Pyjama party – encourage everyone to dress up in their favourite pyjamas for a night of mayhem and fun.
• Baking party – invite your guests over for a night of baking (and of course eating) tasty oven-fresh treats.

Invitations

Once you have a New Year’s Eve theme in mind, designing and creating your party invitations becomes a little more straightforward. Don’t forget to let your guests know all the important details about your celebration including what time and date it will be held, what the dress code is, what food to bring (if required) and rsvp information.

Decorations

No party is complete without decorations to brighten up the space and set the mood. Put up some New Year’s Eve party balloons, streamers, table decorations and lighting to get people into a celebratory mood.

Not sure what colour to use? When it comes to New Year’s Eve decorations, anything black, gold, silver and metallic doesn’t tend to go astray.

Food

From finger foods to cold meat platters and decadent desserts, there really are no limits to what you can serve up at a New Year’s Eve celebration. Just be sure to remember the champagne or sparkling grape juice for toasting at midnight.

Activities

When it comes to entertainment and fun activities for your guests, there are loads of activities you can incorporate at your gathering. Just be sure to find something your guests will enjoy. Some New Year’s eve party activities include:

• Movie Marathon – grab some popcorn, turn down the lights and settle in for a night of movie madness. Stream or rent the latest movies for your family and friends to watch until it gets close to midnight.
• Write New Year’s Resolutions – encourage your guests to write their plans for the coming year on a New Year’s resolution poster.
• Play Games – when it comes to entertainment, there are many game options out there to choose from, including boardgames and video games. Just be sure to have a variety of options available for your guests.
• Karaoke Jam – for a bit of fun, encourage your guests to grab a mic and belt out their favourite tunes. You can also pair guests up to sing challenging duets together and award prizes to the best performers.
• Do A Countdown – there are many ways to incorporate a countdown to midnight into your celebration while making it fun for everyone. You can stream a countdown clock for everyone throughout the entire evening or set an alarm for every hour until midnight and encourage everyone to do something fun or silly when the alarms go off.
• Must-have New Year’s Accessories – don’t forget to have sparklers, party hats, party poppers and small toys on hand for your guests to enjoy. Sometimes the little details can make all the difference when it comes to entertaining.
