Last Minute New Year’s Eve Party Entertainment Ideas
New Year’s Eve is upon us and if you are still at a loss of how to entertain your guests, here are a few last minute ideas that don’t need too many special planning.
Play the Resolution Game
All you’ll need is paper and a few pens or pencils. Have each guest write down his or her New Year’s resolution on a small piece of paper, fold it and throw into a bowl or a hat. Pass the hat around. Each guest pulls out a piece of paper, reads the resolution, and tries to guess who the author is.
Take Care of the Playlist
Unless you hired a band in advance, you need to come up with a good playlist. The right music is the key to a good party. Consider adding the following songs to your playlist:
- Beat It — Michael Jackson
- Single Ladies – Beyonce
- 1 Thing – Amerie
- Push it – Salt-N-Pepa
- Gold Digger – Kanya West
- Let’s Dance – David Bowie
- Ignition – R Kelly
- Hype – Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris
- Shutdown – Skepta
- Controlla – Drake
Make Fondue
Fondue is the perfect New Year’s eve snack that doesn’t require any advance preparations. All you need to do is get the ingredients and the food will virtually cook itself. Consider meat, cheese, and chocolate fondue.
Arrange a Photoshoot
One of your invited guests must have a good camera so ask him or her to be a photographer. Ask all of your friends to pose for “old time” photos, such as sitting on a chair or standing next to it. Afterward, you can apply retro effects to get amazing New Year’s eve photos.
Buy Candles
Candlelight is always a great idea for parties. Use candles as the only source of light for at least several hours. You’ll set up a calm, cozy, and intimate atmosphere for your party.
