Thinking of organizing a New Year's Eve party? It's not that hard. Although this event requires thorough preparation. You should decorate the room, think over snacks and buy drinks. And, of course, you need to come up with entertainment. Perhaps you are organizing a party in some style. Then you should warn the guests about this and say that the dress code will apply. Ideas for organizing a party will be presented below.

Room decor

New Year's party requires a specific design. It will not be enough just to hang garlands. How can you decorate a room? Of course, snowflakes. Cutting them is a matter of minutes, and kneading them will not be a problem either. You can even scatter snowflakes across the floor to create the effect of artificial snow indoors. You can hang tinsel and Christmas balls on the walls. Why not? Attach a disco ball to the ceiling. Even if your partydoes not fit in the style of the 60s, it will still be appropriate. Well, if you put up a Christmas tree. But not everyone has this opportunity. Therefore, you can buy pine branches and make decorative ornaments out of them. It can be a wreath on the door or candlesticks. Such decor will not only look festive, it will also fill the apartment with a New Year's aroma.

What other decorations would be appropriate for a New Year's party? If you have holiday banners or paper flags, hang them up. They will remind many of childhood. You can light candles. They should be placed on a table or chest of drawers. But if you are throwing a crowded party, then it is better to make do with the light of the garland in order to avoid a fire.

Festive table

New Year's party is simply unthinkable without appetizers and salads. If you arrange family gatherings, then you can set the table. Prepare the favorite dishes of your dear people. But if you are organizing an evening with friends, then you should get by with a buffet table. A large amount of food is welcome, but only in the form of snacks. If you can't imagine New Year's Eve without salads, just fill tartlets with them. You can also make sandwiches. Be sure to cut. They are the fastest at these events. Cut several types of sausage, boiled pork and cheese. Don't forget fruit. Festive tangerines are a tribute to tradition. And, of course, it's hard to imagine New Year's Eve without sweets. You can also make assorted chocolates and cookies. Cake at such events is not a successenjoys, but cupcakes scatter in the blink of an eye. They don't have to be sweet. You can experiment and make cream cheese cakes.

Costumes

Adult people, like children, love a masquerade. But they don't have many occasions to wear a suit. New Year's Eve is a great occasion. You can set a theme for the event. For example, tell the guests to come in costumes from the 60s. You can also set the theme of fairy tales. It is interesting to watch how guests will flaunt around the apartment in the outfit of Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck. Or maybe your friend wants to be Vasilisa the Beautiful? But, of course, there will always be people who do not want to dress up. No matter how many such persons you warn, they will still come without a suit. In order not to spoil the holiday for yourself or others, you can personally dress up all those without a suit at the entrance. Everyone should be warned about this in advance. For example, buy face painting and paint people's faces according to the theme of the party. Or attach funny hats to girls' hair, and put funny masks on men.

Gifts

New Year's party at home is an occasion to bring all your friends together. And it is clear that gifts should be given. But not always the budget allows you to buy something worthwhile for 10-15 people. Therefore, you can get by with souvenirs. You will arrange contests, so do them with prizes. This will encourage your friends to join in on the fun. What can be purchased as prizes? You can buy small sweetpresent. These boxes are inexpensive, and bring a lot of joy. Prizes can also be more worthwhile things, such as wallets, passport covers, diaries, Christmas toys or movie tickets.

But friends will also come with gifts. Warn guests to bring alcohol. It is expensive and it will be a chance for you to save money. You do not have to buy champagne, wine, cognac, etc. Everyone will come with their own, and you will put it all on the common table. If it is not customary in your company to give gifts, then you can collect a small contribution from your friends. This money should be spent on gifts for everyone who came.

And finally, just before the exit, you can give everyone a big Bengal fire. Guests will come out of the house or from the entrance and symbolically spend the outgoing night and meet the New Year that has already come. It's beautiful and festive. You can replace the sparkler with fireworks or firecrackers. Choose something to your taste.

Music

You should remember that all your friends are different. And, accordingly, their musical preferences will also differ. Your job is to make everyone happy. But you know that this is more like a myth than a reality. Therefore, it is worth making a selection of popular New Year's songs for the party. It can be the favorite hits of "Disco Crash" or the legendary Jingle Bells. Everyone is used to listening to them on New Year's Eve. Even a person who does not like pop music will not say a word across to you. Therefore, focus on the New Yearclassics. But you must admit that not everyone will want to dance to “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”. If you are having a New Year's dance party, then you should give preference to incendiary music. It can be something modern or, if the holiday is themed, related to the theme of the event.

Contests

A New Year's party for adults is simply unthinkable without entertainment. And among them the most popular are contests. What can you offer guests? Hold a contest called "Chain". Guests need to be divided into two teams. Now the time is recorded, for example, 2 minutes. Players must make a chain of their clothes. Of course, you should not take off your evening dress, but you can donate a scarf. The team with the longest chain wins.

New Year's Party Selfie Contest is also popular. How to conduct it? Participants line up, and the leader begins to announce tasks. You need to start with something easy, like taking a selfie with a Christmas tree. Each player must take a picture and run to the host. Whoever comes last is out. But you need to make a reservation that the presenter checks the photo. After all, someone could cheat, but someone's picture will be smeared. In this case, it is not the last one who comes out, but the one who does not have the necessary selfie. The second stage may sound like this: take a picture with the oldest person present. Players will need to figure out who is the oldest in the company and quickly take a selfie. There can be many such tasks. Get creative.

If you have a themed party, then the contests owe hercorrespond. For example, if your theme is fairy tales, then you can have fun in this way. Divide the guests into two teams and say that now there will be a competition for the best Baba Yaga. Each team is given a bucket and a mop. With one foot, the player must stand in the bucket, and with his hand - take the mop. In this position, you need to run to a certain mark and back. The host announces the start, and the fun begins. The first players of each team open the baton, and then pass the bucket and mop to the next. The team whose players complete the task faster wins.

Games

Competitions are good, but you can arrange not only them. Games for the New Year's party are no less in demand. What can adults play? For example, in "Who is superfluous." The rules of the game are very simple. The host says that all participants are flying in a balloon. But then something goes wrong, and the ballast should be thrown off. You don’t want to get rid of food, so you need to throw one of the people overboard. Participants sit opposite each other and begin to reason. Everyone proves why he should stay in the balloon. You can bring a profession or unique skills in your defense. But no one is allowed to lie. It is interesting to see how adults are very worried about whether they will stay on board the mythical balloon or not.

You can play a game of courage. It should be played by men. It is desirable that there are no more than 3 or 5 participants. People sit at the table, and 5 boiled eggs are placed in front of them. But participants are told that they have 4 boiled eggs and one raw egg in front of them. The task is this: to break the eggs on the forehead. It is funny to watch how men cautiously beat one egg after another and sincerely worry about the outcome of events.

Script

To make a party fun, it's not enough just to hold contests. The evening must have a leader. He will hold a New Year's party according to the script. If your event is costumed, then you can change the presenter's clothes. He must immerse himself in the atmosphere of a fairy tale and lead the guests. A version of the scenario for the New Year's party is presented below.

Baba Yaga: "Hello, friends. Today you came to the hut on chicken legs to celebrate the New Year. I am glad to see you all here. I am the owner of this institution, so all questions should be resolved with me. Well, now I want to play with you, why don't we run around a bit and see who does it best."

The bucket and mop relay race described above is underway.

Baba Yaga: "What a great fellow you are. But that was only the beginning. Now entertain the old woman."

A festive pantomime game "Crocodile" is being held, in which fairy-tale characters are played.

Baba Yaga: "Well, you must be hungry. Eat, my good ones. And who is the hungriest among us? Koschey the Immortal? Come here."

A competition is being held. Guests are divided into two teams. Each of them is given a piece of paper and a pen. One of the participants takes a bite of a large piece of a roll or a pie and, with his mouth full, begins to read a little-known New Year's verse. Guests should listen carefully and write down what they hear. The most attentive team wins.

Baba-Yaga: "Well, now let's find out who is the most courageous among us."

The above egg game is in progress.

Baba Yaga: "You must be tired. Okay, let's dance."

New Year's disco begins.

Karaoke

Music for a New Year's party can be poured not only from computer speakers. Today, karaoke is very popular. Everyone loves to sing, regardless of whether they know how to do it or not. Therefore, give guests the opportunity to try themselves in an unusual role. If your friends can really sing, download the backing tracks and play them. In order for no one to forget the words, they should be pre-printed. If your friends like to sing, but do not know how to do it, then it is better to include a song with words for them. In this case, you do not need to strain too much. You can sing for your own pleasure, and it will not sound too ugly. You can also install a karaoke program on your computer. In this case, you do not have to print the words. They will appear on the monitor. But in such programs, the list of songs is limited.

Dancing

No party on New Year's Eve is complete without a disco. Even if at the beginning of the evening no one wanted to dance, this does not mean that at the end of the night or in the morning there will be no such people. That is why it is worth preparing for such an unexpected turn of events. Allocate a place for the dance floor, remove the chairs from there, do not put them in the center of the roomChristmas tree or move the sofa to the wall. Be sure to prepare dance music. But if you forget to do it, it's okay. If necessary, you can simply turn on the radio.

When you decorate the room, think about light music. If you have it, put it on. And if not, then you can just turn on the multi-colored spotlights. They will give the holiday a joyful atmosphere and cheer you up.

Foresee various emergencies

If you are used to planning everything, then you should not have any problems in order to think through the various moves of the situation. But if there is no such experience, then sit down and imagine how a party can go. Maybe someone will fall or get hurt. A bandage, plaster or hydrogen peroxide will come in handy. Maybe someone will become ill and need to wash the stomach. Or maybe a person gets tired and decides to spend the night, even if he originally planned to go home. So prepare everything you need, buy pills and borrow air mattresses from friends.

Waking up in a mess is very unpleasant. Therefore, do not let guests go home until they help with cleaning. Someone has to wash the dishes, someone has to take out the trash, and someone has to sweep. Of course, have a conscience and do not force your friends to wash the floors or wipe your chandelier from the annual layer of dust. But well-bred people still have to help clean up after themselves. And don't go to bed as soon as the guests leave. Wait 10-15 minutes. There will definitely be those who will forget your phone, handbag, car or apartment keys.
