Preparing Food
Depending on how many guests you are catering for, new years’ eve can allow you to be extremely flexible with how much food you prepare. If you are having a small gathering it can be great to put together a full meal for your guests because unlike Christmas day, you can be as creative as you like with your menu. If you are welcoming plenty of guests, then it might be better to opt for a range of sweet and savory bites to allow your guests to eat as much as they like.

Creating a Playlist
It is easier than ever to put together an eclectic mix of tunes for any occasion with the various streaming services now available to us. This is extra helpful because it allows you to alter what music you play for the range of guests at your party. If most of the guests at your party are friends of a similar age, then of course it is hard not to resist cramming the playlist full of nostalgic tunes from your younger days. If there are parents and/or teenagers attending, then at least you have an almost endless library of music at your disposal to keep everyone happy.
Party Games
Music like creating a playlist, planning party games is very much dependent on your range of guests. Speaking to Peter, one of our main party planners, he explained how new years the best time of year for party games is because you can do almost anything. “Similarly to Christmas there are certain themed ideas you can have fun with, however unlike Christmas you can stray away from the festive theme. Often it might be better to keep closer to the festive theme when entertaining a younger set of guests, however you can get much more inventive with a more adult crowd.
A more festive idea is to create cards for everyone to fill in which are a more creative take on the New Year’s resolution. Make it as silly as you like, but a good start might be “The bad habit I want to kick this year is —-. The person I want to be more like this year is —-, etc.”. Once they have all been completed, anonymously, read them all out and play a game of guess who. If you are having quite a small affair, why not make an end of year quiz pitting your guest’s wits against one another.
