5 Last Minute Ideas for New Year’s Eve

Still don’t have plans for New Year’s Eve this year? It’s not too late to plan some kind of memorable celebration. Whether you spend New Year’s with one other person, have a small get together or a full on blow-out party, here are some last minute ideas that you could incorporate into your celebration!

These are just some quick ideas to get you started from ehow:

Resolution Draw

If you have a few guests over, have some fun by having people write down their top New Year’s resolutions on slips of paper. Toss these pieces of paper into a bowl and start a kind of guessing game. Pass around the bowl, read the resolutions out loud and try to guess who they belong to.

Have a Fondue Party

There’s nothing like fondue to easily get a party started. Create some easy and fun appetizers and desserts with fondue. All you’ll really need is cheese and or chocolate and some yummy dippers;then have your guests go to town.

Make a Sparkly Punch

Bottles of champagne can get expensive to buy. Instead, try opting for some kind of punch that has a sparkle to it. That way, you can rely on less expensive ingredients to mix with your bubbly. Here are some ideas for you:

Have a Movie Marathon

Curling up in your pjs with some friends or your sweetheart and having a movie marathon is a fun, cheap way to go. Prepare a few homemade movie night snacks, order some pizzas or make your own. Then switch over to TV when the ball drops at midnight.

Playlists by Decade

You can hardly have a party without music. Whether you have a small gathering or bigger party, make sure you have music set up to keep you guest entertained. A great idea from Delish is to play songs by decade, working your up to present day. You can use any number of free services online to do this. For example, just type a decade into Pandora and you’ll get a good mix of tunes. Then just change it up every hour or so until you get to midnight.
