New years eve Planning List:

Let's consider all the essentials to make your new years party a bash:

1. Decide on your budget first - will you be supplying everything or are you going to request guests to bring something (like their own drinks, or meat or whatever);

2. Your guest list;

3. You need a theme or color-scheme and decorations to match the occasion;

4.  Entertainment - music, games etc;

5.  Food & Drinks;

6.  Party Favors;

7.  Other/Extra's.





1.  Themes & Decorations

Themes would be either formal or informal, depending on where and with whom you are going to be spending your goodbyes to 2021 2019 2018 and hello's to 2021 2020 2019.

A formal party evokes the picture of lots of glitz and sparkle - black, gold and silver.  If you want to add a color, opt for a soft hue.

With an informal setting, anything goes!

Are you hosting the party at home or at a venue?  Is it going to be indoors or outdoors?

Add the following to your shopping list:

  • confetti
  • streamers
  • tablecloths
  • balloons
  • lights



Theme Ideas:

  • Gatsby - glitz, glamour and feathers;
  • Winter Wonderland - with Frozen inspired decor and a nice coffee/hot chocolate bar;
  • Disco - glitter ball, lights and hippy-heels; 
  • Chinese - chopsticks, umbrellas and take-out boxes;
  • Hawaiian - pineapples, cocktails and hula-hoops!




2.  Entertainment

You'll be needing the following for your new years entertainment:-

  • Music and a music player of your choice - if you are not familiar with wonderful music app Spotify,  it is available on your mobile or tablet. You can create your own playlist or choose one according to your mood.  On the link provided, you can click on 'more' for lots of other Apps available to help you personalize your playlist.
  • Disco lights/balls.
  • Invite entertaining guests, people with charisma and lovely vibes, your party will never be a bore again!

  • Lots and lots of ice;
  • It's best to decide on a menu according to the time of day, your theme and guests;
