The New Year is right around the corner, and what better way to bring in the New Year than with some creative party ideas. Everyone likes to put their own personal touch on their parties, and here are just a few suggestions for helping you do so on a creative basis.
“2016” hors d’oeuvre is a great way to start. Cookies are a simple one, as they make number cookie cutters for purchase at pretty much any craft store. You can also use these cutters for a cheese and meat tray, a Jell-O mold, or anything else that can be made and then cut after making. A lot of simple ideas can be had at this one.
One party game that is always popular is one that you probably have never heard of before. Have a set time for your party (at least 3 hours before midnight) and turn off all clocks and mobile devices (anything that tells time). Then give everyone a guess at when they think midnight is. Whoever comes the closest gets a prize or a champagne shower when the New Year arrives.
A third and a party favorite is to have a costume party where everyone dresses up like a movie character according to the year they were born and give away prizes for the closest looking one to their individual movie character. This one could be used for kids and adults alike and gives an alternative option that everyone can actively participate in.
When it comes to decoration, why not welcome guests with a red carpet and take pictures of their arrival in front of a step repeat banner. You can also use gobo lights to light up your building and even have a velvet rope to add a touch of glamour.
The main thing is to have fun with your New Year’s celebration, no matter where or how you celebrate. Also, 2016 will be the “start” for you again. You can forget whatever happened last year and start new again. So while having your New Year’s party, keep in mind that it also represents a fresh start for all individuals.
