How to host an unforgettable New Year’s Eve party

What do you need for a New Year’s Eve party?

Planning on hosting an unforgettable New Year’s Eve party? There is nothing like hosting a NYE party as it is a great feeling bringing friends together and kickstarting the year with a fun celebration organised by you. Hosting an NYE party is also a lot of pressure, so read on for a few tips that should help you to plan the perfect night.

Choose a theme

Every great party has a theme that will make the party fun and can be helpful when it comes to decorations, music and food. There are all kinds of great options to consider, such as:

• Great Gatsby
• 70s
• Black Tie
• Fancy dress
• Disco

Stock the bar

Drinks are obviously one of the most important factors in a party – you won’t want to be dry when the clocks turn midnight! You also need to stock for every taste, including beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. Champagne for the big moment will also make the night extra special. If you are hosting a large party, you might find that hiring a bartender will reduce stress while also adding class to the party.

Go big on decorations

Going big on decorations will help to set the mood and get everyone excited for the party. You will want to consider the theme, but you cannot go wrong with colourful balloons for decoration that will immediately put everyone in a good mood.

Fireworks

Fireworks are a brilliant way to bring in the new year and will always make a party that little bit more special and memorable. Just make sure that you have somewhere safe to set them off, make sure that people keep their distance and let your neighbours know beforehand!

Music

Music is another key aspect of the party that you will need to consider. You need to think about the theme of the party and the taste of your friendship group and then spend some time creating a playlist. If you will struggle to make one, you should find a suitable pre-made playlist online or ask a friend to make one.

Create ambience

There are then a few finishing touches to create ambience and make the party memorable. You need to think about a practical layout for the party and make sure that there are places where people can sit as well as dance and experiment with lighting to create a party atmosphere.
