New Year's Eve Party Planning Guide

Nobbies can guide you in planning your next New Year's Eve Party. Just follow our unique guide to have an exciting adventure. Fun for all ages. 


Invitations
Invitations are a great way to reflect the spirit and theme of your party. NobbiesParties.com offers many different approaches to invitations. Store bought or hand-made. Choose from a variety of pre-made invitations to coordinate with your theme. 



Hand-Made Invitation Suggestions:
Create your own invites on card stock and put a clip art picture of a clock, father time, or baby new year on them. Type all your important information and then fill the envelope with confetti, so they will start to get exited about the party. 



New Years Party Attire:

  • Top Hats
  • 2008 Glasses
  • Mardi Gras Beads
  • Tiaras
  • Light up earrings
  • Light up lampshade hat
  • New years necklaces
  • Glitter hairspray
  • Glitter make-up/eyelashes
  • Tinsel wigs



New Year's Eve Decorations
Cover the walls of the party area with scene setters. They will transform a whole room in seconds. Put black cloths on your tables and then spill silver confetti or hersey kisses candy around serving dishes. Tie the cloths to table legs with silver ribbon. Accent with metallic silver and gold plates, cups, napkins and silverware. Use plastic top hats as serving dishes and fill them with chips, pretzels and other snack foods. Fill large martini glasses with mixed nuts and m&ms. Take the obviously christmasy decorations off the Christmas tree, leaving only the lights and silver and gold tinsel. Take noisemakers and party hats and place them on the tree. The revelers will strip the tree as the party progresses. Use bottles of champagne as balloon bouquet weights. Place on a mirror tile and put champagne glasses around the bottle with battery operated tealights in them. This makes a great centerpiece and doubles as a party favor. The windows and walls could be draped with sheets of twinkle lights for a fabulous effect. As people enter, greet them with a photographer (might be you) who can take their picture under a custom designed banner from Nobbies. Make sure that your guests are all decked out with hats, beads, glasses, noisemakers and leis for the pictures. Fill balloons with air and place them all around the room on the floor to give it that party atmosphere. Hang a balloon drop from the ceiling, fill with balloons that are stuffed with coupons or fun sayings. As the balloons are dropped have each guest pop a balloon to find a prize. Place balloon bouquets in the corners of the room to help fill up the room and give it that party flare. Synchronize several clocks with the official time before the party starts, and make sure they are in plain view so that you have time to prepare for the big countdown. 



Food and Refreshments
Serve snack foods such as: popcorn, chips & dip, pretzels, cocktail wieners, veggies, pizza, fruit tray, cookies and cupcakes. Also have ice cream and tons of different toppings available At midnight, of course, do a major thing. How about a serving a dessert tray with sparklers?
Beverages: Champagne, purple and white sparkling cider, gingerale, orange juice. Put the drink umbrellas or the mylar spray picks in each drink to give it that little extra flare. 



Games/Crafts
Hang a pinata filled with candy and toys for all your guests to break open.
Play bingo using inexpensive gifts as prizes.
Create a time capsule: Have each guest write a letter to themselves. Put the letters in the time capsule. Bury it or hide it somewhere so that you can all open it at a designated time in the future. (great for kids)
Provide each guest with their own journal or diary that they can begin capturing their thoughts and memories of the New Year in. Suggest that everyone write a resolution in the beginning of their journal.
