The countdown is on – in only a few days it will be a brand new year, 2010! The team here at Sky Wish Lanterns is very excited, 2010 is a year that should be celebrated with your family and friends in a comfortable environment, not out in the cold with a bunch of strangers at a street party. So we have a load of tips to share with you about throwing the best New Year’s Eve Party for all your friends and family to welcome 2010 in style!
The number one tip is to send your invites out early, by early we mean October! October is usually when people start thinking about how and where they will spend New Year’s Eve. If they know there’s going to be a killer party in their own town, they will happily stay. Otherwise people start looking to travel to be with other friends. If you can contain all your friends and family to the one town rest assured they will all want to come to your party.
Next, you need to decide if you want a theme. Theme’s are great for New Year’s Eve parties as you can look back on the photos and say, “I remember that party is was the 2009/2010 party because we’re all dressed like doctors and nurses”. A theme is also a great ice breaker for people who may not know many of the other guests. The next step is to ensure you have an awesome playlist set up on your ipod and a New Year’s Eve welcome song – this is the song you need to play just after the countdown. So make sure you don’t get too drunk before midnight! After music, you need to sort out the food and drink. Encourage people to bring their own alcohol but have a stash in a secret cupboard just in case. You then need to make sure the space you are using is workable for the number of guests you have invited. You may need to move some furniture or borrow some from a friend. The last step is to make sure you have some Sky Lanterns to launch at midnight! They will light up the sky and will bring in the new year in a unique and beautiful way.
Once you have all these elements sorted out, party away and have a great night!
