NYE Party Themes
Any party can be fun, but a themed party brings a new level of festivity that will leave your guests talking about your party all year long.
- Fire and Ice
Make your party explosive with fire and ice. A fun twist on the classic “black and white” theme. Have your guests dress up in fire or ice attire by choosing a fiery red or icy blue/white outfit. Bring the theme into your menu by having the choice between red or blue drinks.
- Party Animals
Like Halloween part 2, this theme calls for your guests dressing up as their favorite animal. They can get as intricate or simple as they like, or you can provide ears, masks, and tails to guarantee your guests participate in the fun. When the clock strikes twelve, everyone shouts the noise of their animal costume and enjoy the night being crazy party animals.
- Throwback (Tuesday)
This new year falls on a Tuesday (which is kind of like Thursday, right?) and brings in the year 2019. Celebrate the pop culture of 20 years before: 1999! Have your guest wear their favorite fashion trend of the late nineties. Decorate with throwbacks like a Nintendo playing area, projections with music videos and music from ‘99 (can’t forget about those boy bands), and disposable cameras as party favors!
- Midnight Brunch
If your crew is always hitting the best brunch spots every Sunday, why not bring it into your party theme? Make brunch party-style by having a build-your-own mimosa and Bloody Mary bar alongside bite-sized waffles, finger sandwiches and candied bacon.
- Flower Power
Bring the fun of music festival season by having a “Flower Power” themed party. Create insta-worthy installations like a DIY floral photo booth and have a station where your guests can create flower crowns and more. Add music and flashy lights, and your NYE party will feel like an intimate music festival.
NYE Party Details
The fun is in the details! Make your New Year’s Eve party pop with these fun party tips that will “wow” your guests and make their night even more memorable.
- New Year’s Resolution Wall
Have a designated space where your guests can post their new year’s resolutions. You can have a stack of colored post-its that they can write on and stick to the wall or you can use a (very) large mirror that they can write on with colored markers. This also makes a fun photo backdrop as the wall gets more filled!
- Photobooth Wall
Whatever theme you decide to go with, a photobooth wall is always fun to have! Go to your nearest fabric store and pick up a few yards of material that match your theme. Hang it up on an open space of wall and provide themed props that your guests can pose with.
- Floral Party Poppers
It’s not a new year’s celebration without party poppers! Make yours unique with flowers! You can use fresh flowers or leftover bouquets from your Christmas celebrations to make these DIY floral party poppers.
- Glitter-Dipped Balloons
Of course, every NYE party needs some sparkle to truly shine! Try glitter or confetti-dipped balloons to elevate your decorations. Keep it going by doing the same to your cups and champagne bottles!
There are endless ways to decorate your NYE party, but we hope we’ve given you a dose of inspiration that leaves you excited to plan your party. However you chose to decorate your New Year’s Eve party, there’s a bouquet that will match your theme and style. The Bouqs Co wishes you and your loved ones a safe and exciting new year!
