It‘s hard to believe that 2021 is coming to an end. The year has been a blur of busyness and chaos, with many people feeling like they haven’t had time for anything other than work or family lately!
I’ll admit, I was one such person until recently – when this whole “midlife crisis” thing happened (whatever you want to call it). Nowadays, my days consist mostly of waking up early, so we can go on adventures together; spending hours at home playing video games if there are any leftovers after working long shifts as well as brainstorming ways to improve our living spaces through DIY projects while still preserving them aesthetically pleasingly enough not get bored too easily in
While most of us are planning out New Year parties for our friends and family, there’s always the option to go with a house party. If you need some ideas on how best make your night live up those expectations, be sure check these top 9 incredible yet easy-to join ideas!
The best New Year’s party ideas
Fix a party theme
A party theme is an opportunity to have some fun! It’s always great when people find something that they like and want others at their event too. If you’re looking for a good idea, try one of these popular themes: Resolution 2022 (a coluor-themed gathering), world travel or Masquerade parties – just be sure to talk with your friends about what kind of mood each suits the best beforehand, so there aren’t any surprises come nightfall.
Float the digital invites

Ready the home décor
It’s time to update your home decor. Get out those scissors and glue guns, because this is a party! Whether you require an upgrade on existing furniture arrangement or some new pieces made specifically for the event–think walls redone with stripes in colours matching whatever colour scheme they have picked as theme; sound & light settings tuned, so everything matches up seamlessly-you can do all of these things now before guests arrive (and maybe even get them delivered).
The ambience of your house should make it inviting to guests. So, provide enough space for them and allow people feel free to move around as they please with ease!
Food for thought
Keep the hunger pangs at bay with a mix of bite-sized and regular dishes. The emphasis should not be on preparing an extravagant spread but thoughtful menus that can last longer, such as Signature Dishes from our Gourmet Chef or Game Day Food For Every Season collection!

Desserts
The New Year’s Eve is a time for celebration, being thankful of what you had in your past year and looking forward with hope. What better way to celebrate than by enjoying some sweet treats?
Desserts are the perfect way to end an event. They’re not only delicious, but also make for a wonderful surprise dessert party when you know your guests will love them!
New Year Decorations
These are the little details that make a big difference in tone. Decorative items such as balloons, party poppers and noise makers will ensure you have an enjoyable time with your guests while also keeping things interesting!
Games people play
House parties are the perfect way to get your friends together and try out a variety of different activities. You can arrange for as many games that you want, depending on what capacity guests will be able to attend (and how deeply they want their bond with each other). Popular choices include:
- SKOLd the Game
- Truth or dare, Show and Tell
- Board games: Scrabble, Ludo
- Card games: UNO, Rummy, Poker
A photo booth that captures epic memories
The perfect place to take pictures is often the most overlooked space in a home. A photo booth can not only give you great memories, but also help enhance those aesthetics with all sorts of quirky accessories!
The best time for this? Get your snapshot taken at any event or just because it’s fun – there are so many ways people have found creativity when setting up their own private mini-event spaces like headbands, hats and goggles; masquerade masks/slogan boards (signage helps too); shiny sparkles…the list goes on!!
Put on a light show for your photos with these easy tips! Place a string of fairy lights around the booth and watch as your camera’s zoom sky-high.
Make it a night to remember with a Wish Jar
You can make this happen by placing a container with paper chits and pens near your house entrance or any other common access point. You may ask guests to fill in their goals for next year (or even feedback on the party) while they are here, then share these memories later down the line as well!
