How to Plan a New Years Day Party
When it comes to New Years most of think about New Years Eve, but New Years Day is a national holiday and a day for celebration.
After a big night everyone is ready for a fun day to celebrate the new year.
New Years day parties are different from New Years Eve parties.
They are more laid back and usually center around parades and football.
They are not filled with glitz, the dress is usually casual and music and dance don't play a big role.
A new Years day party can be a lot of fun and everyone can enjoy them selves, it usually a time when the whole family can party together, kids are usually welcome and dates are not necessary.
First, as for any great party start with a guest lists and send out invitations.
You want your guests to know that they have a party on the 1st so they don't over indulge on 31st.
New Years Day parties is a good time to invite an interesting mix of people.
Many new friendships are forged on this day.
Secondly, you may want to think about decorations.
The theme is usually football as there are many college bowl games on this day.
Use the colors of your favorite teams to decorate the room as well as for paper and plastic serving utensils.
There are all kinds of fun football helmets and chip dishes made to represent your favorite team.
You may want to incorporate sports items you have laying around the house to add to your decor.
Next, what is a party without food.
Chips and dips for starters.
Large Sub sandwiches and Deli platters can make life easier for the hostess.
Hot chicken wigs are a crowd pleaser as well as pizza.
Food you can eat off your lap is a high priority.
As most people will be sitting around in front of the TV.
I may also suggest that this is the first day of a new year and many people may have made New Years resolutions to loose weight, so you may want to offer some low calorie snacks.
Keeping with the party theme, you want to offer an assortment of drinks.
Beer and wine are always popular as well as other alcoholic drinks.
But make sure you have a good selection of non alcoholic drinks on hand.
Many people may have drank too much the night before and may want to keep in light on New Years day meaning no alcohol.
Lastly, make sure you have TVs placed all around the party area.
Between the parades and football games your guests will be glued to the TV.
Having good Tv accessibility will keep them at your party longer.
