December is often considered to be the most festive month of the year. We’ve got Christmas, bonuses, family gatherings, and of course, the parties celebrating the arrival of the new year.
A New Year’s Eve party typically features programs that are as loud as the fireworks outside. Drinks, food, mingling, and gift giving— they’re all equally valued in this kind of event.
If you’re planning to throw your very first New Year’s Eve party and you want to make it extra special, then you should definitely consider the following:
- Decide on the outfit! Don’t just make it a casual event, encourage your guests to put on something fancy even if the party’s just at home! It’s the small things that make events like these memorable.
- Put in a theme for the party! Decorate your home as a throwback to the early 2000s or the 90s, or make it a statement on what you think will happen next year! Ambience makes all the difference in a party!
- If you’re gonna splurge, splurge on food and not with fireworks. It’s safer and it’s a good reason for you to try out something a little more expensive that you’d probably only order once in a long time. Remember, most catering/food delivery services often increase the prices during the final week of the year.
- Create a program where each guest or family member shares key achievements for the past year and what they’re thankful for.
Adding to this, if your guests want to thank you for all the things you’ve done for them (like setting up this party), they can show their gratitude by shopping gifts for you using your SM Gift Registry new year wishlist! Alternatively, you may even use the SM Gift Registry to create a Secret Santa: New Year’s Eve Edition for everyone involved!
