4 Themed NYE Party Ideas That are Fun For Everyone

If your family and friends have decided to bypass the bars, the expensive club covers, or crowded family events this year, you might be wondering where to start planning your New Year’s Eve extravaganza. Sure, it’s a lot of weight to bear, being the one to host the very first event of 2020, but trust us, throwing a party at home is far more fun than anything else on December 31st. And so long as you have good company, you know anything you all do together is sure to be good fun!

Searching for some NYE inspiration? Look no further. These 4 themed party ideas are sure to be a hit for all!

1) Reflect on your favorite decades

As 2019 comes to a close we look forward to a new start (like every year), but this year is extra special. It’s the beginning of a new decade. So what better time than now to reflect on some of our favorite decades of all time?

Decade parties are a great option no matter what time of year it is because pretty much everyone owns at least a few items in their closet that can be combined to form a decade-centric look. For 70’s clothes, bell bottom pants, trippy patterned shirts, and hippie hair all fit the bill. As for 80’s clothes, you can either go for the sporty Jane Fonda or Richard Simmons look or opt for a glamorous Madonna vibe. Or, just ask your guests to come sporting their favorite trends from this decade. Canadian tuxedos, tiny sunglasses, and “Dad sneakers” are a few defining styles of the 2010’s.

Take your party to the next level by providing snacks and beverages inspired by different decades. Oh, and don’t forget about the decor!

2) Try out a new ‘do

If you’re looking to try something different to help you ring in the new year, a wig party is a great way to go. There’s nothing more exciting than being able to try out a look that’s totally out of character, without actually having to fully commit to it. Plus, seeing all of your friends dressed in different wigs is seriously hilarious.

The key to throwing a successful wig party is making sure that everyone follows the dress code. To make sure of it, we recommend buying extra wigs to supply to anyone who’s forgotten their costume!

3) Cabin fever

New Year’s Eve can be one of the most stressful nights of the year. There are too many options and expensive plans, and there are extremely high expectations. If you want to avoid all of the stress of NYE and just relax at home, that’s cool too! In fact, you can throw an entire get-together based on this idea. Here’s how.

●        Pull out your best cheesy 80’s ski gear and throw a classic apres ski party complete with raclette cheese, comfort foods, hot toddies, and hot chocolate for the kids.

●        For a fun, chill evening in with the girls, opt for a spa night! Just provide facemasks, tea, and some essential oils and you’ll surely start the new year off refreshed and recharged.

●        For added adventure, consider heading out to the woods to celebrate the new year. Whether you camp in a tent or a comfy cabin, being out in nature is one of the best ways to appreciate what you have and head into 2020 full of gratitude! Plus, camping is a great kid-friendly alternative to the traditional NYE parties

4) Futuristic

Welcoming the future of a new decade is one of the most exciting parts of celebrating New Year’s Eve. So why not get a little creative with your interpretation of the future that lies ahead? Maybe everyone dresses head to toe in silver in 2029. Or perhaps we’re all living on the moon in space suits. Invite your guests to come as their best guess of what the next decade will look like for them! It will definitely be fun to see everyone’s different ideas.

Wrapping up

Whatever plans you have to ring in the new year, the most important thing is to enjoy your time with people you love! Whether you spend the night reflecting on 2019’s memories or challenges, one thing is for sure: 2020 brings the promise of new beginnings for us all.
