Tips-
Fixing a Budget-
Before planning for a new year party at your home, make sure you have fixed your budget. Accordingly, you can invite guests and be able to plan for decorations and food.
Inviting a guest-
You don’t need to invite lots of people over. Otherwise, it will be difficult to entertain them. Instead, you can only invite your close friends and families. This way you will be able to entertain all of them, and you will also be able to enjoy the party.
Food and Drinks-
Food and drinks are the main attraction of any party. So make sure to decide on a menu that suits your budget and is versatile. Instead of keeping lots of items in the list, choose the menu wisely to save money on food and reduce wastage.
We cannot deny the fact that drinks have the same importance as food. So choosing drinks wisely will help you manage your guests after the party. You can keep wine, champagne, Mocktails and cold drinks. They are versatile and easily available.
Decoration-
Last but not the least, decorations are one of the important aspects of any party. For decoration you need to be a little careful and get the decorating stuff wisely. Decoration depends on factors like the theme of the party. If you have decided a particular theme for the new year party, you have to decorate the location accordingly.
If you are wondering what kind of themes you can decide for the new year party, here is the list of a few of them which you can consult from.
1. Black and white-
Black and white is the most classy theme. It is simple and elegant and gives a formal vibe. For this theme you can plan the decoration to be in black and white and get the flowers, balloons and the cutleries in that colour. You can ask your guests to come dressed up in black and white so that they can have that theme party feel.
To add more to it, you can get black forest or vanilla cake. You can order cake online. There is an online cake delivery system available.
2. Bollywood retro theme party-
To bring back that 90’s vibe, you can plan a Bollywood retro theme party and ask your guests to come dressed up in their best old-fashioned style with bell-bottoms, skirts, headbands etc.
You can decorate your place with those 90’s decorating stuff and play those old songs in the background to set the mood.
3. The light Glow theme-
To have that club feel at your home, you can plan a black light glow party. In this you need to get those fluorescent lights and ask your guests to wear the lighting objects. Dim the lights, play the party song and dance on the floor all lit up.
4. Bon-fire-
New year is the festive season of winters, and it is way colder in December than in other months. Setting a bon-fire-themed party on the new year’s Eve will be cozy and fun to have. You just need to light the bonfire, set up some sitting around it, and you are good to go.
5. A potluck party-
If you feel like ordering food or preparing it, it is a hassle, you can plan a potluck party where every guest of yours, will bring some food stuff from their home, and all of you can enjoy different homemade cuisines. It will not only ease your burden of planning for the party but will also give you more time to spend with your guests and entertain them.
Gifts-
Gifts are also an essential part of a new year party. Your guests will bring some or other gifts for you. But you can ask your guests not to bring gifts for you but instead donate that amount for charity.
* You can also send gifts from India to the USA via online delivery service.
Entertainment-
Apart from the themes, food and decoration, it is also important to have some entertainment plan beforehand so that your guests don’t feel bored. If you have fewer guests, you can decide to play board games or cards. But if you have more guests, you can decide on antakshari, musical chair, dumb charade, etc.
So these were some tips and tricks to make your new year party an epic. Follow them and have an exotic party.
