Some Interesting New Year’s Party Ideas to Ring in 2021

The year 2020 hasn't been much lucky for many of us between this ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the presidential election. But we all are expecting brighter days ahead. As the New Year will bring new opportunities for us, it is worth celebrating. In this season of coronavirus, even the most popular traditions like Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration may become different. There are several memorable ways to ring in 2021 responsibly while staying safe from the disease. Here are some catchy themes, elegant party decoration, and food ideas to make your New Year's Eve party memorable.

Serve Elegant Cocktails

New Year's Eve is the best time of the year to go extra on food and beverages. If you're celebrating IRL or over Zoom, you can make your favorite cocktail just by pouring champagne over cotton candy. As this cocktail doesn't require any bar skills, you can teach its recipe to your friends easily.

Throw a Winter White Dinner Party

A winter white-themed dinner party is the best choice for people who want a quiet, sit-down meal at home. Arranging such parties is a calm and cozy way to ring in New Year with your friends and family.

DIY your own ball drop

To add more charm to your event, you can make your own DIY ball drop. All you have to do is to mark the party hours with a permanent marker. As each hour passes, drop the ball to the next line.

Add games

If you're not into the glitz and glamour associated with New Year's Eve, you can invite friends for board games. You can serve easy-to-grab snacks like a cheese board. But if you've planned an online party, there are many fun games like Cards against Humanity and Werewolf.

Host a Disco-Themed Bash

If you want to make your New Year festive more interesting, you can arrange a disco-themed party.

Spike Your Sweets 

Delicious desserts and booze make every New Year's Eve party more enjoyable. You can add a splash of spirit to your celebration by combining both as a boozy dessert bar. These boozy desserts may include champagne cupcakes, whiskey ice cream floats, maple-pecan bourbon balls, and bourbon bread pudding. 

Enjoy Leftovers in the Breakfast

Whip up a breakfast-for-dinner party for sweetly closing your 2020. Add stacks of cinnamon roll pancakes, plenty of bacon, apple cider waffles, coffee shake, and fruit-filled Dutch baby to your new dinner. You can enjoy the leftovers in the morning.

Mix Metallic Hues

When it comes to the decorations for New Year's Eve, choosing a gold, black, and silver color palette is the best idea. Thus, you can ring into a beautifully decorated New Year party that doesn't have much sparkle.

Set Up a Champagne Bar

On this New Year's festive, don't be behind the cocktail shaker. You can keep the bubbly flowing all night long by setting a pour-your-own champagne bar. Make sure to serve cheeseburgers, mac, and cheese, or pepperoni pizza to prevent a nasty hangover. These all pair best with champagne.

Let Your Guests Write down Their 2021 Wishes

You can make your festive more interesting by adding a "write your hopes and aspirations for coming year" theme. Put out a pretty jar with blank cards and ask all invitees to write one or two goals for 2021. Along with adding charm to your party, you can save the cards of your friends to review at the end of the year.

Create a Themed Photo Backdrop

Arranging a New Year's party, in fact, every party without setting up a photo area, is useless. Whether you're celebrating in-person or virtually, you need a metallic covering and balloons for the perfect backdrop. If you're celebrating an in-person New Year's Eve, you can save yourself from the trouble of sending pictures. Add a tripod so that your invitees can click their photos on their own mobiles.

Add the Photo Props

With fun party props, you can take your party to the next level. There are plenty of cute ready-made options available on Etsy and Amazon. Or you can make your own to match with the rest of your decorations.

Take a “Trip” to France

With just small modifications to your New Year's theme, you can add a feel like you're visiting the City of Lights. For arranging an elegant France-themed party, all you need is to replace your festivities with appetizers. Serve appetizers like salade Niçoise and French onion soup before serving the main course. After appetizers, play a film set in France like Amélie, An American in Paris, or Charade. While waiting for the ball to drop, enjoy macarons, crème brûlée, and millie-feuilli.

Throw a Pajama Party

For late-night New Year's festive, we like to be as cozy as possible. Arranging a pajama party for such late-night events is the best idea. Invite your guests to wear their favorite and most comfortable pajamas for the night. It provides you the benefit of going to bed just after the party ends.

Make It A BYOA Party

If you don't feel well or are not in the mood to prepare and serve a full-on dinner, you can host a BYOA party. BYOA stands for Bring Your Own Appetizer. To avoid overlapping, make sure to ask your guests what they are bringing.

Craft Confetti Poppers for New Year

Confetti's are especially cute to pop on New Year's Eve and are a must when the clock strikes midnight. These poppers were first created for Oscar’s party, but they are best for New Year's festive.

DIY your New Year's Eve Headbands

You can DIY the New Year's Eve headbands to match your decorations for cohesive party vibes. If you can't find time to make them by yourself, you can make things available on different stations. Your guests will make their own headbands.

Host an Around the World Party

Every country has its own way of celebrating the New Year party. You must be bored of seeing champagne toasts, dazzling fireworks, and the ball drops every year. Add a new theme to your New Year’s Eve 2021 and let your friends celebrate festive according to different countries.
