Try Your Hands with Mixology

New Year’s Eve – Make it a Game-Night
New year is so much more than a party. After all, it is all about welcoming the new year with your loved ones. Make it a fun evening by having a game night. If you want to help your guests mingle and stay engaged during the party, plan a game or two that you can all play together once everyone has settled in. Depending on your crowd, you can choose a more intimate, sit-down board game, go for a more rowdy drinking game, or try out a longer-form narrative game.
Countdown with Sparkles
Set sparklers aside in tall hurricanes and glasses ahead of time. When the countdown strikes, guests can easily grab one and light them at midnight. Make sure you have a glass of water close by just in case and to hold the extinguished sparklers after.
Create a Memory Wall
Not only for fun but this is a great activity to relive some of your best moments of the last year. Reserve a wall in your living area for the same, complete it with photos, mementos, bills, anything and everything which reminds you of the good times.
Organize A Dance Party For New Year’s Eve At Home
Well it is generally said “dance it out”, all you need is good music and space to move your bodies! Ask your guest favorites in advance and get the playlist ready for the night. Everyone dancing on their favorites will be a sight to watch. One great party accessory that can be used not only in New Years’ but at every party is the Disco ball. Disco balls are already perfectly on-theme for New Year’s Eve, so why not go all out and throw a disco-themed party? Tell your guests to arrive in attire suited for a ’70s disco club, make sure to spin plenty of era-appropriate dance music, and, of course, decorate with disco balls.
Retro Themed New Year Party at Home

This unique way would add energy to the new year party celebrations at home. You can top this environment with some retro-dance hits groove to the beats of the bygone era.
Engage in Some Self-Care
