Well, it's that time of year again. New Year's Eve. Finally an end to the longest year in history! How many times have you been let down by New Year's Eve? It's an event that almost always is a disappointment. It's a high-pressure event ripe for disaster. This year why not throw your own intimate and memorable New Year's Eve party? Let’s take a look at some key ideas on how to throw a New Year’s party at home.
Low key is best
Keep it simple: there are enough things to do on new years eve, maybe some karaoke, some delicious food, a few (too many) great drinks along with some close friends. Emphasize a casual, low-stress atmosphere. Perhaps it's best to lower those lofty expectations and have a low-key fun event. Make sure everyone has a safe ride home. Instead of starting your New Year off with disappointment, why not just enjoy the evening with friends and family with some karaoke and great memories?
Great music is key to a great party.
How to celebrate new year at home? Perhaps the most important part of a good New Year's Eve party is the music. Cultivating a proper New Year's Eve playlist can be a cumbersome chore but in just a few moments you can create a memorable backdrop to the evening. Consider some soft jazz to make it a classy affair. Keep the noisy music levels down. No one wants to scream over anthem rock. However don't let your tinny laptop speakers ruin the ambience. Get some proper external speakers.
Avoid Nosy Neighbours.
Throwing a New Year's Eve party may draw unwanted attention from nosy neighbors. Perhaps they are the jealous type and want to ruin your fun by reporting noise complaints to the police or perhaps telling your landlord about a large number of guests. Many people do not consider closing the blinds to unwanted attention. Although they may hear some music from your place, they will not be able to see what's happening. Invest in some proper blinds to ensure privacy.
Wear a real mask.
If you do plan on attending a public event surrounded by inebriated guests you're going to need proper protection. An old bandana or cloth mask just won't be effective against the Coronavirus. Don't start the new year off with an infection, get yourself some proper filtration mask like these. Stay safe and wear proper protective masks.
Avoid a rough start to a new year.
New Year's Eve doesn't have to be a letdown. Start the new year off right. Lower your expectations and just try to enjoy the moment. It's a great time for a new beginning and you should not start off on the wrong foot. A new year is a great chance to write a new chapter in the book called your life. So, drink lots of water, eat a banana before bed (trust me, it really works!) listen to great music, make some memories and protect yourself and be safe and start the new year off on the right foot. Bring on 2021!
