5 Cool NYE Theme Party Ideas

#5 Bring Disco at Home

Groove your way into new year with DIY home discotheque

If you love going to discos but hate the crowd, bring the fun home!

Hang in a few glittering disco balls around the space, prepare a dancing area, and create a fun, peppy playlist to get moves on. Ask your guests their favorite songs in advance to make your party even more enjoyable.

#4 The Chill Laid Back Party

Ring in the new year with a relaxed and laid back party. This goes perfect for adults as well as children.

One idea is the pizza party. Talk to the vendor in advance if you are going with a large order. Bring in some pizzas, garlic breads, drinks, and pair it up with the golden memories of the year that’s almost gone.

At the same time, you can also plan a relaxing pajama/spa party. Don your cute PJs and chill your way into the new year.

Or maybe, organize a movie marathon! Enjoy back to back movies with your family and BFFs. Ask your guests in advance of their movie choices so that everyone can enjoy their time.

Plan a few games like quizzes and puzzles in case your guests feel up to it.

#3 Go Retro with Movies!

Who doesn’t love mimicking their favorite movie stars for a party?

Plan a party that belongs to the bygone eras like – 70s, 80, or 90s. Tell your guests to dress up as their favorite movie star. Plan fun games. Play retro music. Create a special menu. Adjust those dishes that were really popular in that decade. Throw in a few funky props and you ensure your guests a memorable groovy welcome to the new year.

#2 It’s Games Night!

Welcoming the new year with some great entertainment is the best way to treat your guests. And what’s better than a fun games night?

One way is to organize a Casino Night. Prepare some general casino games like Poker, Craps and Bingo Extra. Go as far as decorating the party space like a casino.

Another way is to pull out some Board Games like Housie (Tambola), puzzles, Chess, Ludo, Monopoly, Business, Risk etc. Choices are endless! This theme suits children as well.

Whatever you go with, ensure there are a lot of fun games to attend to, tasty menu to browse from and good music going in the background. Nothing makes the party mood like food and music.

#1 Vibe with a BYOB Party

Bring Your Own Booze/Bottle (not book!) is a hit party theme! Instead of racking brain over guests’ choices, ask them instead to bring their favorite bottle. Ask children to bring their favorite beverage like juice or soft drink.

Some pointers to keep in mind:

Create a budget and stick to it. Throw in some extra, just in case.
Send out party invitations at least two weeks in advance with details like the party theme, venue, timing etc.
Keep the party menu simple if you’re cooking at home.
Ensure a long great playlist
Organize a selfie corner and decorate it with funky frames and props
Introduce your single friends to each other
Keep a first aid handy
Don’t forget to have bucket loads of fun!
