We think New Year’s Eve celebrations should be just as memorable as they are fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re hosting a big bash or a cozy gathering, our tips will help you create a night full of laughter and delicious cocktails. This, along with a few questionable dance moves to welcome in the new year.
Set the mood with lights & music
The right ambiance can easily transform your place into a party space. We suggest using sparkling fairy or disco lights and making a playlist that gets everyone in the groove. Remember, nothing says “New Year’s Eve” like a spontaneous dance-off in the living room. Just make sure to clear the coffee table first!
Plan a countdown moment
The countdown to midnight is the highlight of the night, so make it unforgettable! Whether it’s playing a balloon drop on the screen or a synchronized confetti pop, plan something that will have everyone cheering as the clock strikes twelve. Our only tip is to have someone on “confetti cleanup duty,” for the next day.
Garnish your cocktails stylishly
We recommend garnishing your drinks with flair, using mini umbrellas, cherries, or even edible glitter for a touch of sparkle. Our pro tip: try making some classic cocktails in champagne flutes instead.
Create a DIY photo booth
Here’s a fun tip for the memories: create a DIY photo booth. Set up a backdrop, gather some props, and let your guests strike a pose. Our suggestion is to include a few silly hats and oversized glasses. It’s always fun to pretend to be a rock star with a feather boa.
Make an interactive cocktail station
You can also turn your guests into mixologists with an interactive cocktail station. Provide a variety of mixers, garnishes, and glassware so everyone can create their own signature drink. Our tip: keep a few recipe cards handy for those who think a “splash of everything” is a good idea.
