Celebrate the New Year in style. New Year themed party ideas. Otherworldly New Year
The feeling that the year has flown by almost unnoticed does not leave us every time December appears on the calendar. But this is not a reason to be sad - on the contrary, there is more to come new year holidays, parties with friends and gatherings with family. And when the calendar is full of the last month of the year, it means it’s time to think about celebrating the coming year. The rule “how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it” has not been canceled :)
And if you don’t like this year’s Olivier, and are tired of New Year’s films that you have already seen hundreds of times, there are several for you creative ideas how to celebrate the New Year in an original, fun, unusual and inexpensive way.
New Year in Hawaii
Party theme:
If you adore summer and January 1st is just another day of winter for you, which only means that you have at least four more months to wait for warmth and summer sun, then put on a swimsuit and go to Hawaii!
And if you can't go to Hawaii, let Hawaii come to you. Throw yourself a New Year's Eve party in Hawaii - light dresses and shorts, cocktails and fresh juices, and a palm tree instead of a Christmas tree - this is what you need. The main thing is to heat the room in advance - so that it is not +5 in your Hawaii. And for special “heat lovers”, such a party can even be held in a sauna - you definitely won’t freeze there.
How to decorate a room:
Forget the Christmas tree. Only palm trees grow in Hawaii! Of course, you are unlikely to be able to buy a live palm tree (unless you have a fairy godmother who fulfills all your wishes), but it will be quite possible to make a palm tree with your own hands from cardboard, branches and leaves - as they say, Google will help. Decorate your palm tree with garlands, and if the interior allows, you can even take care of real sand.
You can make a photo booth out of seashells and seashells, or print a poster with an ocean view. Don’t forget about bright garlands of flowers - both for yourself and guests, and for room decor.
What to wear:
It is dangerous to walk around the room in swimsuits in winter - neighbors who come to wish you a Happy New Year may think something wrong. But light dresses, shorts and T-shirts are quite suitable for such a “summer” party.
What to cook:
The festive table should correspond to the general theme: bananas, coconuts, pineapples, oranges and (where would the New Year be without them) tangerines - any fresh fruit will come in handy. Drinks include cocktails and fresh juices, decorated with umbrellas and bright straws. Light snacks made from fish or vegetables will also come in handy.
Well, where would we be without sweets - surf-shaped gingerbread, pineapple donuts and flamingo cake - and your party is a success!
Poker Night
Party theme:
Play all night with chips (so you don't lose all your hard earned money for the year) and become a poker champion. And whoever wins the jackpot will have good luck for the whole next year - it’s been verified!
How to decorate a room:
First, take care of your chips and playing cards. And of course, prepare the place for the game itself. You can get creative and decorate the room in Las Vegas style - multi-colored lights (garlands), an imitation casino and a bar counter with drinks. A photo zone and garlands can be made from playing cards, and they can also be used to decorate the buffet table.
What to wear:
You can wear pantsuits, white shirts and stick to the classic “office” style. Fashionistas will also suit fitted dresses in trendy colors - burgundy, deep dark green, emerald or marsala. Well, a “classic of the genre” - a luxurious red or little black dress.
What to cook:
Players need something to “chew” at the table. Pour chips, nuts, crackers or snacks into bowls. You can cook chicken nuggets or deep-fried onions. And don't forget about drinks. Poker fans may enjoy whiskey, cognac or good brandy.
You can make a themed candy bar: cakes with playing cards and a “Casino” style cake.
“Champagne eyes”
Party theme:
Remember Scriabin’s song “Champagne Eyes”? One of the constant attributes of the New Year is champagne. Let your party be dedicated to splashes of sparkling drink and filled with loud laughter, golden tinsel and fun!
How to decorate a room:
A champagne themed party doesn't have to mean boxes of champagne on the tables. Take care of golden garlands or tinsel, decorate the Christmas tree and the house in general in golden tones - we wrote more about this in the article. You can make a photo prop in the form of champagne bottles or a photo zone with sparkling bubbles.
What to wear:
It is not necessary to dress up with a bottle of champagne for such a party, but you can safely wear golden dresses or classic shirts with golden ties. Or purchase gold hats (butterflies, ribbons or bracelets) in advance for all guests.
What to cook:
Cider, champagne and white wine are not the entire list of dishes on the table. Get creative with grapes: fresh, paired with cheese on skewers, in a salad, or as a garnish for a side dish of rice or potatoes.
Nich karaoke
Party theme:
Do you love to sing and can’t imagine the New Year without songs? Then a karaoke party is the perfect solution for you! The main thing is that your neighbors are not against “Show must go on” at 5 am :)
Organize a competition for the best singer, creative and stylish artist and showman of the year. Sing one by one, pulling out the names of the songs written in advance on pieces of paper, from a hat or vase, and try to outsing everyone!
How to decorate a room:
Set up an impromptu stage - with “professional” lighting, garlands and lanterns. Photographic props in the form of microphones will also come in handy. You can make garlands from old CDs and cut out notes instead of snowflakes.
What to wear:
What would you wear to your own recital? Here's your answer! If you are a rock musician, wear leather pants and a blouse; if you plan to perform exclusively blues and jazz, classic suits and long evening dresses are at your service. Let your party feature musicians and singers of all genres!
What to cook:
You can’t eat much with your mouth full of food, so prepare dishes that can be quickly eaten during a break between songs - a buffet of fruit or cupcakes, small cakes, cottage cheese or cold cuts and cocktails for a karaoke party are ideal.
Party in the style of America 20s
Party theme:
“The Roaring 20s” speaks of those distant times, almost a hundred years ago. If you've read and re-watched The Great Gatsby three times already and are in awe of this era of carefree, eternal parties and post-war pomp, then place your bets on a party in the style of America in the 1920s.
How to decorate a room:
Luxury is our everything. Feathers, pearls, a lot of gold elements in the decor, tinsel and garlands and lots and lots of champagne on the tables. The dominant colors are black and gold.
What to wear:
A straight-cut dress, characteristic hairstyles with waves in the style of the 20s, feathers and pearls as decorations and, of course, bright red lipstick - this is what will make you the queen of such a party. For men, a classic suit with a vest and bow tie, hat and cane is suitable. And the image will be completed by a cigar in your hand.
What to cook:
A party in the 20s was not complete without a lot of booze - brandy, whiskey, champagne. Choose what you like. Well, don't forget about the buffet. Here it’s up to your discretion – either it’s sliced cheese, or fruit, or sweet cakes.
New Year's mafia
Party theme:
“Guess who is the Mafia and who killed the Sheriff?” – if this phrase lifts your spirits, because you are a fan of the immortal game, then be sure to throw just such a party for the New Year. Play with your friends all night and let the Mafia be punished!
How to decorate a room:
A room with dim lighting, a comfortable sofa or armchairs, and playing cards for “Mafia” (a regular piece of paper and a pen will do) is all you need. And for the New Year's mood - a Christmas tree and a photo zone in the best traditions of the Sicilian mafiosi.
What to wear:
Suits for men and fitted dresses in classic colors - red and black - for women will fit perfectly into this style of party.
What to cook:
Brandy and whiskey for the mafia and sweet cakes for ordinary people. And don't forget the donuts for the sheriff.
New Year at Hogwarts
Party theme:
Have you read all the books about Harry Potter, watched every single movie and can you safely call yourself a devoted Potter fanatic? Then you will definitely like a party in the style of the Hogwarts school for wizards. Dress up as your favorite characters, don’t forget your magic wands, and you already know how to get to the party - platform 9 ¾.
How to decorate a room:
If you can find New Year's decorations in the form of the Gryffindor coat of arms and Harry's eyepiece, then decorate the Christmas tree that way. Don't forget about themed photo props and garlands.
What to wear:
Only black robes - there is no other uniform at Hogwarts!
What to cook:
They say that chocolate from Lupine lifts your mood the best 🙂 But if you can’t get it, then regular themed candy bars or cookies in the form of attributes from Harry Potter books will also come in handy.
The New Year's party will be much more fun if you choose the right theme. The night of New Year's Eve is an exciting time to reminisce about the events of the past year, and of course to dream about the future. The style of your party should match this special mood at all stages of the event. It doesn’t matter what it is, a spontaneous celebration or an organized, deeply thought-out special event, themed New Year's parties will help you realize any of your ideas.
To avoid unnecessary stress and save significant time, there are several items that should be considered when compiling a list for a theme party. In this article you will find everything from choosing a concept and calculating a budget to drawing up an invitation to a New Year's party.
Select New Year's party theme which is close to you. Between “this is fashionable and prestigious” and “I’m interested in this,” choose the second, after all, you will be the host or hostess of the party, and if you yourself are not delighted with your choice, joyfully jumping up and down in anticipation of the holiday, then you are unlikely to infect the guests with your enthusiasm will it work?
Now that you're ready to start actively preparing for the New Year, check out some interesting New Year's party themes. In principle, there is an article on this site - you can read it for fun. But not all of them are suitable for the New Year, so check out a couple more examples.
Masquerade party
Add some mystery to New Year's Eve and organize a charming masquerade party. Masquerade is always fashionable, and for New Year's Eve it is also traditional. You can provide masks for visitors or ask them to make their own versions. Make sure you have enough space for the dance floor and use a bright color scheme to liven up the theme.
Retro party
The sixties, seventies, eighties are always relevant. This is a fun costume idea that encourages visitors to get creative and get a little taste of not-so-distant history. Each decade had its own special feature, so it won't be difficult to choose clothes that are characteristic of that period. But most importantly, this is a musical selection, and also an excellent opportunity for karaoke.
Neon Party
Widely known "glow" parties, great for children and teenagers. To make the party a success, cover the windows with black paper and then replace regular light bulbs with neon ones. You can hang special decorations with reflectors, place glowing balls, in general, you can come up with a lot of things, the effect is always amazing.
World traditions
New Year is celebrated not only here. Find out a little more about and organize a “Around the World” party. For example, in Spain there is a tradition of eating 12 grapes in the last 12 seconds of the countdown to midnight. Why not use it on your holiday, it certainly won’t be any worse, but suddenly Spanish happiness will smile on you. In Brazil, lentils are eaten on New Year's Eve. Perhaps lentils with champagne are not to everyone’s taste, but for such an occasion you can try it; it’s not for nothing that the people of Brazil believe that it will bring good luck and wealth. In Denmark they smash dishes under the door, the bigger the better, to show how many friends they have. Perhaps not the most successful tradition, but if you don’t mind the dishes, then...
Black and white party
If you are looking for a formal theme, then this is the perfect idea for you. Use black and white decor and set a dress code. You can read more about the implementation of this idea in the article “”.
Champagne party
Have a champagne celebration! You can decorate your party with champagne decor and create a bar with different types of champagne cocktails. You need to buy several types of this magical drink. Of course, it's not cheap, but you don't have to buy expensive French champagne; Spanish Cava and Italian Prosecco are also good options. Get ready for the holiday and learn how to make a tower out of glasses. The champagne fountain may seem like a huge trick, but in fact it can easily be done at a house party. You can easily find instructions on how to make a pyramid on the Internet. Laying the slide will take some time, but it will be an unforgettable sight for guests. You can also add elements to the event.
Night in Paris
Who wouldn't want to visit Paris at least once in their life? On New Year's Eve, wishes should come true. Immerse yourself in a Parisian party atmosphere, with gourmet French cuisine (you can order in a restaurant or look up recipes online), the Eiffel Tower and lots of flowers. It’s simply impossible to think of anything more romantic.
Costume party
This is a very broad topic. You can, for example, arrange a real one. Of course, you can narrow the topic and, for example, invite guests to dress up as characters from Russian folk tales. It’s better to give the opportunity to a flight of fancy and let it be the most non-standard solutions. It's fun when Vasilisa the Beautiful and Luke Skywalker from the far, far away Star Wars galaxy meet at the same party. Then the highlight of the evening will be the “Guess the Costume” competition - no one will be bored.
Midnight Brunch
New Year's Eve is the only time of the year other than Christmas Eve when it's acceptable to have a midnight brunch! The name brunch comes from the words breakfast and lunch, that is, a meal between breakfast and lunch. This is, in European style, but in our opinion, a grand feast, a dinner that begins with seeing off the old year and ends with breakfast in the New Year. And although this is not original, it is traditional. And so that it doesn’t look so banal, prepare freshly squeezed juice and call the event a late-night brunch.
New Year's Eve will be unforgettable if you get the theme right. The main thing is that you personally like the idea, then the planning process will not feel like work at all. Don’t be shy to ask your friends for help, infect them with your enthusiasm, then organizing the party will be no less fun than the New Year’s party itself.
With the onset of December, a pleasant feeling of the upcoming holiday appears. It is necessary to prepare for the New Year, come up with interesting events. Theme party - The best way organizing a holiday. In what style should it be made? Here you will find several interesting options.
Important points
First of all, you should be careful and study the average age of those present. You understand that older people will not be able to participate in too active activities, and at the same time, the holiday should be fun, and not boring listening to old records. The ideas and style of conducting the holiday are also important. Not every adult will like free jokes in the youth style - wet T-shirts, dousing with juices, yogurt. They may simply be inappropriate. Once a program is created that is adapted to all ages, the evening will become unique and enjoyable for everyone.
In the spirit of gangster Chicago
Hats, Thompson machine guns, feather boas, clusters of pearl beads, boots, cigars, elite alcohol, gambling - the evening will be truly unforgettable. You can plunge headlong into the retro atmosphere of the 20s and 30s in America.
Dress code for sophisticated ladies:
- fitted short knee-length dresses;
- pearl beads below the belt;
- feather headband;
- fishnet stockings;
- fur boa;
- mid-heeled shoes.
Dress code for real gangsters:
- Borsalino hat;
- elegant suit;
- cufflinks;
- tie or scarf;
- striped shirt;
- patent leather shoes;
- submachine gun;
- cigar.
Main decor colors: black, white, red, gold, silver. The room where the celebration will take place can be decorated in the style of a casino. Main attributes: cards, roulette, poker chips. It’s a good idea for each participant to come up with a cool nickname for themselves. For example, “Beautiful Mary”, “Big Jim”.
Alcoholic drinks must also be designated by “nicknames”: milk, mineral water, apple juice. The event will take place during Prohibition, when alcohol was prohibited. However, for adventurers and adventurers, like gangsters, the law is not written.
This idea is an excellent option for celebrating New Year on a grand scale. Original masks will add notes of mystery, romance, and awaken imagination. When should she go wild, if not on the most magical night of the year? The following will help create a medieval atmosphere:
- wigs,
- carnival costumes,
- feathers,
- gems.
You should definitely organize a competition for the best costume and choose the King and Queen of the evening. Crystal glasses with champagne and wine, exquisite dishes are integral attributes of the holiday.
These ideas will require preparation and costs for renting/purchasing costumes and creating the appropriate surroundings. It’s more budget-friendly to throw a Soviet-style party. It’s enough to dress simpler, make cold cuts, Olivier salad, sandwiches with sprats, buy “Soviet champagne”, tangerines, watch “New Year’s Light”. However, all this is banal and too bland. But everyone has the right to choose how to relax.
Perhaps someone is tired of snow parties. For some people, winter days are really stressful. They love the sun, the heat, the sounds of guitars. Then turn your attention to a holiday in the style of Latinos or Caribas. Thus, lovers of summer heat will be compensated for the desire to go on vacation in 2020 below the equator.
Groovy and rhythmic disco music will lift everyone's spirits, because all residents of northern latitudes want to escape the winter cold. And dress up Santa Claus and Snow Maiden in luxurious beach clothes, and instead of a red bag, let the gifts be in a palm basket. Another scenario is a pop concert.
Everyone celebrating the New Year 2020 must prepare a musical number. Fortunately, karaoke is an accessible thing and anyone can learn, even if it’s weak vocals. Believe me, there is no person who would not dream of singing some hit in front of listeners. Everyone has thought about this, since childhood.
Hollywood
Another interesting and little-studied idea for a themed party for New Year 2020 is a Hollywood film. Choose a genre that will appeal to everyone without exception. For example, a legendary painting about the Christmas bell or Santa Claus will captivate all guests into the festive circle. The nostalgic notes of old and favorite films will make vacationers smile, regardless of age.
As gifts, you can give out Oscar or Grammy Award figurines. Of course, there must be something more significant in the envelope than first place among colleagues. For example, a bonus or an incentive surprise. But this is not the end of the Hollywood theme.
Small miniature performances performed by those present will be real fun. Rest assured, pre-thought-out ideas for mini-performances will delight the guests, and each of them will be prepared with special zeal. Who among us has not wanted to become a screen star?
Masquerade
This is an original and easy to implement idea. In addition, a fun carnival and a wonderful transformation take place on this night. A spacious ballroom is more suitable for such an event, but it is difficult to find one, so you can find a cafe decorated in a classic style. At a masquerade, you should not be distracted by food. It is best to treat guests with champagne. Also useful:
- Fruits;
- Light snacks;
- Dessert.
The party should be sophisticated, because only then will it be interesting. The company needs to appear private. It is important that there is no bright lighting - it is advisable to choose candles. This creates a mysterious atmosphere.
It is important to adhere to strictness in clothing. Long evening dresses are suitable for women, and three-piece suits for men. You will also need accessories: lace gloves or a fan. An important detail is the mask. You shouldn’t skimp on this – you should choose beautiful accessories.
It is better to choose classical dances for the holiday. It could be a square dance or a waltz. This New Year will definitely be memorable for guests. A theatrical production of a classic work will allow you to have more fun.
Any corporate evening is not complete without delicious dishes. But often they are ordered in some restaurant or cafe. We should not forget that even modern women, and even men, still strive to boast of their culinary abilities. This is an important topic for many.
Arrange a festive table with dishes prepared by the participants of the themed party. And it doesn’t matter what the team members prepare: dessert or main course. The main thing is to appreciate the person’s efforts and present an incentive award.
Let the serving of culinary delights be accompanied by the script of a famous film. With such a tempting idea, New Year 2020 will be truly fun and unforgettable! Only positive emotions and impressions will remain in your soul.
Heroes from fairy tales
This theme party will appeal to many people. With its help, you can turn into your favorite fairy tale hero for one night. You can organize a holiday in an apartment with a luxurious interior. Renting a hall is also suitable. It is important that the interior decoration resembles an ancient castle. Required elements are:
- Candles;
- Paintings;
- Gilding.
It is advisable to prepare a buffet for guests, which will include delicious snacks. Perfect for canapés and desserts. If you wish, you can call a decorator who will style the festive table.
Making an original costume for your favorite fairy-tale hero is not so easy. Therefore, it is better to rent it. And if you create a costume on your own, then you should choose simpler images - pirates or fairies.
A competition for the best costume will make the party more interesting. It is advisable to organize it in the form of an interesting performance in which everyone will participate.
Many company employees in their youth and youth visited their favorite discos of the 90s, where first acquaintances took place and first feelings were born. Each of them feels a sense of nostalgia when watching the performance of the idols of those years on television. Indeed, the stage was at its height back then. The gentle and rhythmic sounds of music added a charge of energy and vivacity.
Let them remember the days of their youth and let guests plunge into the past, where they were full of hope for a carefree future. Well, if you manage to invite any popular and beloved singer, then the theme party will create a real sensation for the New Year 2020. Be sure to use the idea we propose, unless, of course, your company is against it.
Recently, the topic of dudes has been discussed in the media. What it is? Remember the musical evenings of the 60s and 70s. The authorities forbade young people to look “loud” and “showy”, but some still managed to dress up in wide flared trousers, girls erected “Towers of Babel” on their heads.
So, in order, so to speak, to be transported to those forgotten times, you can take this idea as a basis and put port wine and canned food on the festive table, which was loved by young people in those years. A corporate event where guests gather in a “forbidden” style will be doomed to success. Flared skirts, platforms, varnished bangs, bright and colorful shirts will create the atmosphere of a real holiday.
To avoid mistakes when choosing costumes for a theme party, look at stills from famous movies. Not only women's, but also men's hairstyles will cause a nostalgic smile and delight for those present for the New Year 2020.
Before the New Year and even after it, tens of thousands of corporate and friendly parties take place in the country. And so on from year to year. How to remain original without repeating yourself and others? The answer is simple: come up with and implement something new every time. You can borrow other people's ideas or use ready-made scripts parties, but adapt them to your audience, creating a special, unique atmosphere.
It is always necessary to take into account the average age of party guests, profession (if it is a corporate event), social status, and tastes. For example, the musical accompaniment of a party attended by predominantly older people should be significantly different from the music that is played in nightclubs. The presenter's jokes and game moments should also be appropriate, that is, adapted.
If, for example, on youth party the wet T-shirt competition will be a great success, and speed-eating yogurt with a banana will cause a storm of emotions, then corporate event , where the most people are present different ages, such competitions may not be understood, but dance games and marathons will be very positively perceived.
Being adapted to the audience, each one becomes unique. But first you need to find an idea, think through the concept. Where to get ideas? From the life around us!
New Year's Party Themes
To find a theme for a New Year's party, you can use any New Year's associations - by similarity, contrast, contiguity, etc. What associations does the New Year evoke in us?
1. Fairy tale
Yes, New Year is the most fabulous holiday: everything sparkles and shimmers, the house is filled with wonderful smells, and at night Santa Claus comes to hide a gift under the tree. Why not organize a New Year's party in the style of a fairy tale? Fortunately, there are many winter, New Year and Christmas tales - starting from “ Snow Queen Andersen and ending with our “Snow Maiden”. This means that you won’t have to repeat yourself or copy others. If you wish, you can combine several fairy tales in one scenario, creating a kind of “journey through winter fairy tales.”
Pros of a fairytale party: you can use a variety of costumed characters and create a touching atmosphere that takes you back to childhood. Well, there are also disadvantages: unfortunately, not all adults love fairy tales equally. Many would like something more modern and hotter, so we need to build the program so that no one’s interests are harmed.
2. Frost, snow, Russian winter
Our people are already tired of winter, so is it worth organizing parties on this topic? It's worth it, it's worth it! You can always play with the winter theme in an interesting way: for example, organize party in Scandinavian style with Vikings, fishing and reindeer or party “In the plague” with the same deer, tambourines and shamans. Or maybe you'll like the concept American winter style parties “Alaska, sir” . In a word, there should be a winter theme at our New Year's parties!
3. Heat
Yes, this is also an association, only in contrast. Our New Year is cold, but in Australia, for example, it is hot. Are you frozen? Keep your guests warm by organizing a New Year's party in the style of some hot country or in the form of a trip to exotic countries where there is never snow on New Year's Day. Open a geographic atlas and start getting creative! A lifetime would not be enough to host all possible parties on this theme. Perhaps you will be interested in ours.
Another option for a hot party is a beach party.
The venue is decorated like a sea beach. Traditional beach games
: jumping over a fire (in this case the fire can be a fake one), incendiary “Limbo”, building sand castles, races in fins, a competition for the most creative tying of a pareo, comic fishing, high-speed stringing of shells on a thread, etc.
4. Nostalgia
Before the New Year, many people have memories of what this holiday was like during the time of carefree childhood or reckless youth. New Year's retro party
– it’s always a win-win! Beaten, would you say? Themes and plots are timeless, and their presentation can always be made unexpected.
You can take one decade as a basis, or organize a trip back in time, dedicating the party to the entire 20th century or just the second half of it, with stops in each decade.
Another option: dedicate the party to some musical movement or style that was fashionable during our youth (or the youth of our parents). This includes the so-called “stylish parties” (see our scenario for a style party), but this topic has become quite boring, however, you can choose a different direction - for example, organize hippie party , punk party or maybe even a Gopnik party ( “Gop-stop” party ). As a basis, we can take the characteristics of leisure time of any social group, be it pioneers, Komsomol members, students (party “New Year at the hostel” ), collective farmers ( “New Year in “Petushki” ) and so on. In a word, there would be opportunities, and an idea for nostalgia party there will be!
5. Cinema
New Year and Christmas films are a different story. There are countless of them: funny and sad, interesting and boring, popular and not so popular. You can, for example, carry out party in the style of “Sorcerers”
with magic, tricks, songs from the film of the same name. Has it already happened? So many films! Let's choose and get creative! And it doesn’t have to be our film – domestically produced, so to speak. You can also encroach on something foreign. What about “Home Alone” parties
? The theme of criminals trying to get into the holiday venue can be played out in an interesting way.
Another option related to cinema is - shooting your own New Year's film . There is a director, screenwriter, cameraman, and during the party endless takes are made with the actors, who are, of course, the participants of the event. There are comic castings, impromptu theater, and transformation.
6. Masquerade
We remember children's matinees, masks and prizes for the best costume. There are plenty of options here: “New Year at the House of Culture”
(masquerade retro party in the style of the 70-80s), “Mentine for adults”
(also something nostalgic, but with humor or really something “For adults”), Mask party
(masked party with theatrical surroundings), Venetian masquerade
(not quite in the spirit of the New Year, but spectacular and fun), “Hussar New Year”
and so on. Any party theme that requires a fancy dress will work.
8. Another country
What does another country have to do with it? But it’s always interesting to find out what new year traditions exist among other peoples. And the party will allow you not only to find out, but also to take direct part in the foreign “New Year’s Eve”. There are many countries, so the party will always be relevant. Again, you can travel around the countries, choosing the most exotic ones - those that are not so popular among our compatriots, and therefore are little known and have not yet been used at parties.
9. Oranges
Once upon a time this was relevant for many: if the house smelled of oranges, it meant either New Year was around the corner, or dad had returned from a business trip. Therefore, one of the most common associations associated with the New Year is oranges. “Orange Party”
- a good option for New Year's celebrations. Moreover, this topic can be played out in different ways: to emphasize on color(everyone comes in something orange, and the party place is decorated in appropriate shades), on the spot where oranges grow (for example, the exotic “Orange Paradise” party), on memories
from childhood (Retro party “Orange New Year”), etc.
These are just a few party ideas for New Year , given as an example. When preparing your New Year's party, take the time to find out what associations with the New Year arise among those people who will participate in the event. Most likely, the information received will help you find your own, unique party theme , which will also be interesting and understandable to the audience. Having found a theme, consider it from all sides - this way you can generate several concepts and choose the most suitable option, leaving others in reserve for the next parties.

Idea #1: Hipsters
The youth subculture of the 50s left a spectacular mark on modern fashion trends. A cartoonish wardrobe, tacky details, a love of fiery music, intricate hairstyles - a great set for celebrating the New Year 2017!
Room. It should be designed for a full-scale dance marathon, because the rhythms of jazz and rock and roll will not leave you a chance to sit still. The ideal option would be a minimum of furniture, a decent sound system and music library, a good floor and a buffet in the corner. However, do not forget that after swinging and Lindy Hop, your legs get very tired, so soft pear chairs or a sofa will not be superfluous. Regarding decor, it is better to choose multi-colored garlands, neon lights and lamps with lampshades.
Festive table. Choose unpretentious home cooking: pies, sausage and cheese sandwiches, pickles, fruit slices. However, dilute this coziness with expensive drinks. For table setting, grandma's plates and a tablecloth with a newspaper print are suitable.
Outfit. For men, the ideal option would be baggy pants in bright colors or trousers with pipes. A must-have accessory is a colorful tie, a narrow-brimmed hat and intricate hair styling. Women may prefer catchy dresses with a full skirt. Patent leather shoes, a bouffant or headband on the hair, large jewelry, catchy makeup - the main attributes of a charismatic girl from the 50s.
Entertainment. Dancing, dancing and more dancing! However, catchy table games will not leave guests indifferent, for example, “Guess the Slang” or “Spin the Bottle.” Learn a few words from stylish slang - this will significantly diversify your communication. Don’t forget to do an extraordinary photo shoot, because the dudes loved to pose for the public.
Idea No. 2: Venice Ball
Anything can happen on New Year's Eve: wonderful transformations and enchanting carnivals. The last night of the year is the perfect time to throw an unforgettable celebration with luxurious dresses and chic masks. A little mystery and flirtation will always come in handy.
Room. A huge ballroom or a spacious restaurant is suitable for this event. The main thing is the privacy of your company and the presence of elaborate decorative elements. A separate space for intimate conversations would also be useful. For decoration we use candles and curtains. We will hang several painting reproductions and install antique-style statues. Unobtrusive classical music will allow you to tune into a lyrical mood, opening your arms to the unknown.
Festive table. You shouldn’t be particularly distracted by food and drinks, because secular society is not used to eating enough. Wine glasses with sparkling champagne, quality chocolate, fruit canapes and colorful marshmallows - such a light snack will complement the atmosphere of sophistication and sophistication.
Outfit. We adhere to the evening dress code, long dress, and for men - a three-piece suit. A tailcoat will look elegant, that is, a ball gown is a must for women. Gloves, handbags, fans, mufflers will be appropriate accessories for going out into cultural society. The main element of your wardrobe for this evening should be a mask. Don’t skimp on the cardboard version: decorate it with rhinestones and feathers, give it an uncharacteristic shape. Send vintage invitations to your guests that include the date and time of the party.
Entertainment. Give preference to dancing: learn the waltz, polka and square dance. Don’t forget that poetry readings and discussions of literature have always been popular at social events. Watch old black and white films or theater plays.
Idea #3: Hawaiian Islands
A traditional luau (Hawaiian party) will be a wonderful holiday for a large friendly company. Create the comfort of a tropical island and spend New Year's Eve in a warm atmosphere! An unforgettable holiday will be presented by exotic cocktails and folk dances of one of the most unusual and remote island systems in the world.
Room. We will choose a suitable place that will ideally suit the theme of the evening. For more demanding guests, we will divide the party into several zones with the possibility of organizing a photo shoot with real representatives of the island of Hawaii.
Festive table. The menu should include exotic fruits and corn tortillas, richly flavored with a variety of sauces. You can grill the meat. Non-alcoholic cocktails with umbrellas are a permanent hit of the party. The preferred alcohol is rum and liqueurs.
Outfit. White cotton dresses and colorful shirts will ensure that you fit into the theme of the evening. Guests of the evening will be offered beautiful flower necklaces. Hats, wreaths, flower hairpins and bracelets will also complement the look.
Entertainment. The choice is truly huge, ranging from active games to dance and creative competitions. You can arrange team competitions, quests or speed games.
Idea #4: Informal Party
An extraordinary underground party will take you into the depths of specific music and entertainment. Allow yourself and your colleagues to become a group of informal youth for one night! Do not limit yourself in freedom: clothes that are unusual for you, new acquaintances and “heavy” music will help you feel like part of an informal movement.
Room. We can rent a disco club or arrange a room for your celebration. A powerful stereo system, color music, a smoke machine and winners of international charts - this is enough to immerse yourself in the dance world of dreams. Neon lighting and futuristic design of the halls will add zest to the disco experience.
Festive table. Quick snacks or fast food will allow you to run up to the table for a snack and quickly return to the dance floor. Ice-cold Pepsi and Coca-Cola will help quench your thirst, and popular cocktails or energy drinks will add energy.
Outfit. All dark clothing will do color scheme: fishnet tops, short skirts with straps, trousers with chains, shoes with chunky soles. We will focus on accessories: artificial tattoos, metal bracelets, wigs with long hair, imitation piercings on the face and body, makeup, contact lenses.
Entertainment. We will invite a photographer with high-quality equipment. Let him capture your fun in the smoke and spotlights. All sorts of thematic competitions will also be well received by party participants - for example, for the most catchy outfit or bright makeup.
Idea No. 5: India is a country of contrasts
A truly Indian party, with a carefully thought out interior and menu, with costumes, magical Indian dances and ethnic music, requires quite a lot of effort. But the feeling of a different world around, the feeling of immersion in a culture incomprehensible to us is definitely worth it!
Room. There is no need to use everything at once to decorate an Indian-style party. Think about which India you want to invite your team to? Maybe for a risky picnic in the jungle? Then you will need a lot of flowers and fruits, greenery and vines, let Baloo watch the guests, and let Shere Khan himself hide in the dense thickets. The home of a wealthy Indian - an abundance of silk, “silver” and “golden” dishes, flower garlands and lampshades with ethnic patterns, images and figurines of deities, aromatic products without a pungent odor.
Festive table. An abundance of rice and all kinds of sauces for it are welcome. Vegetable stews, salads, grain flatbreads. Poultry, any fish. Among the indigenous people there are many strict vegetarians, so vegetable dishes and rice should predominate on the table. Spices, not necessarily spicy - aromatic herbs, spices, seasoning mixtures.
Outfit. For a party in the style of traditional India, a sari is suitable like nothing else. The sari is wrapped several times around the waist, forming neat folds in the front, and thrown over the shoulder (or thrown over the head), secured with pins or a brooch. WITH men's suits a little simpler. Modern Indian guys wear loose shirts (kurta) and jeans or loose pants (pajama).
Entertainment. An Indian party cannot fail to include dance lessons. We invite guests to repeat mehendi designs on their hands, feet, and other parts of the body. If the party scenario has something in common with Indian films, we will organize games based on Bollywood plots. You can simply remember the names of the films one by one (the team that fails to remember the next name in 30 seconds loses) or act out several scenes from your especially favorite films.
Idea #6: Foreigners
Would it be interesting to talk to a real Mexican and learn something about his country? To do this, you don’t have to go there at all - just organize a New Year’s themed party! Let guests choose a country at random and try to match its national costume.
Room. This kind of acquaintance party can be held in an office or a small restaurant. Upholstered furniture, lounge-style background music and a calm interior will help you relax and experience new experiences.
Festive table. The dish can represent each guest individually. Here you will find Uzbek pilaf, Caucasian shish kebab, and an abundance of exotic fruits. The table will immediately become varied and very interesting.
Outfit. Try to convince party participants to embody costumes known in different countries of the world as faithfully as possible. You can learn a couple of phrases in an exotic foreign language (for example, Thai) or a greeting in the aboriginal language, which is sure to please all participants.
Entertainment. Have fun at a joint disco with European remixes from different years and different countries. For an interesting pastime, games on learning about a particular country or continent, as well as pleasant communication on the topic of travel, are suitable.
Idea #7: Fairytale Party
Room. Whether you choose a restaurant with a luxurious interior, or a paid-for stylized hall, it doesn’t matter, the main thing is to achieve the look of a fantastic castle. Colored garlands, candles, wooden furniture, paintings, gilding - all this must certainly be present in the interior.
Festive table. Glasses of sparkling wine or lemonade, sweet snacks, a fruit plate and marshmallows - a light snack will complement the atmosphere of sophistication and sophistication.
Outfit. We will help you choose costumes or create your own unique images. Of course, it is quite difficult for many to reproduce a real fairy-tale costume, but by adding bright accessories to the outfit, you can transform into a fairy-tale hero. Princesses, fairies, pirates, fauns - this is not the entire list of possible options.
Entertainment. We will organize a competition for the best costume, organize a small theatrical performance with the participation of fairy-tale heroes. You can arrange for comic fights with foam swords and shields, arrange archery or treasure hunts.
By choosing one of the above topics, you can move away from the stereotypes of celebrating a New Year's corporate party in Almaty. The team will help you diversify your party show agency "Bravo", which has been developing and organizing corporate evenings for 17 years, and over the years has held more than 500,000 celebrations of varying levels of complexity!
