New Year's is a time for reflections of the past and celebration of the future but can oftentimes be stressful when planning what to do. You want a balance; the right people, food, activity to commemorate the previous year and ring in the new one.
Here are some suggestions when planning; from a quiet night at home with the family to a progressive dinner with friends.
Night in with the Family:
Great for adults and entertaining kids alike.
Food: sliders, french fries, smores
Drinks: apple cider for the kids and champagne for the adults
Drinks: apple cider for the kids and champagne for the adults
Games: Make it simple - invite other families over and each one has to bring their family's favorite game.
Another idea is to have a different game or activity to play every hour.
Night in with Friends:
Who doesn't love a themed dress up party? Even if it is just themed Black & White, adults love to dress up or costume dress and show off their inner child/creative side.
Themes:
Roaring 20s - Great Gatsby
60s - Mad Men
Vegas - Casino Game Night
Time for a Change (decades)
Glow
Around the World
If you have a lot of friends in close proximity, within walking distance because finding a cab on New Years Eve is nearly impossible, you can turn your night in with friends into a progressive dinner. Pick three houses - one host appetizers, another a main course and the final dessert. This could work well with the decades theme or around the world and each house be decorated to match a subcategory of the overall theme. You can even apply the different activity for every hour idea as well and do one per house.
