I am having a new year's eve party (for about 100) any ideas for a theme?

Question

I want to do something a bit different, not fancy dress, but something that is easy for people to do and I want to tie in some entertainment (and decoration) along the same lines as the theme, also ideas for "finger buffet" style food would be helpful. Many thanks.

Answer 1

Speaking of New Year's Eve, how about Adam and Eve, lol? As for the food, serve lots of apples. As for the decoration, surround the place with lots of plants and greenery. Get an apple tree and a snake. Oh yes, place the tree in a dark room, so that you can get a shiny light to shine over the tree only. I think it'll be extremely funny. To spice up the party, go nude, or if you want to be modest, go nude but only cover your private parts (and for the women, their breasts) in fig leaves. If you don't want to show your flesh, then wear a green, non-protuding dress covered in leaves. It'll kinda ruin the theme, though, so I would recommend the first two suggestions. Nevertheless I'm sure the party will go down very well.

I don't know if it is a good idea or not.I was thinking,why not organise a 'peace day' celebration.That is if you are inviting friends of different races.No fancy dresses but smart or better still can ask your guests to wear their own national costumes.As for the decorations,well you can apply the theme the same as the symbol of peace which is the white pigeons and white ribbons.You can ask your guests to write their new year(peace) resolution on a piece of white card (pigeons shaped) attached to a white ribbon,so everybody can hang the cards in a tree decorated with colourful lights with you leading them to do so.You can do this before the clock struck 12.00am.Then when it does struck twelve midnight,on the lights in the tree and at the same time you can set free a few white pigeons ( if possible the number of pigeons is the same as the number of the different races leaving in your country).

As for the songs/music,I am sure there's a lot of that kind of songs you can find in the store.Whether it's a sentimental,ballad,R&B,rock,hip hop etc.There are a lot you can find easily.

And as for the food.You can either serve your national causine or a mixture of yours and a few others.That depends on the guests you are inviting.

Well that's all I can think of.Hope it can help and give you some ideas for your new year's eve party celebration.

the theme should be swingers, and the foods should include things that can be eaten off the body. you see people dont have to dress up they just have to wear somethin that is easy to get out of, well for decoration you could have bowls of condoms around the room, a variety of sex toys hanging from the walls and mood lighting. there is no need for entertainment as everyone will be entertaining each other, and as for the finger buffet, lol enough said! cheers have fun. that would be a new years eve party to remember. dont forget to send my invite ;)

Answer 4

You could go with 'sevens', so the seven days, seven brides etc lucky seven, everyone could come as a well known part of seven if you want dress up but if not you can theme the whole thing on on a particular group of seven, if you chose say, the seven wonders you could have foods from India, bahjis, pakoras mint dip etc, maybe a curry, Egypt, hummus falafels etc greek chinese, the choice is huge and it would be cool you could get a belly dancer etc incoporating all the countries ideas and decorations. You could also go with the seven deadly sins, which would be fun or just stick with seven in general...hope this gives you a few ideas.

Answer 5

How about a "Those Were the Days" party. Let everyone pic a style from the era they love most. You'll get an eclectic mix of 40's glamour and 70's funk. It's a good conversation opener and allows people to go for a more elegant outfit rather than straight-out fancy dress.

Answer 6

How about a cross dressing party? In other words the guys come as girls and vice versa. You could do some really "girly" nibbles and "macho" nibbles too.
You could hire a drag queen as entertainment.
Another good idea is an "Old Folks" party when everyone comes dressed as old people, you would be doing some charity shops a big favour on this one and you could do a "ration book" buffet and play old style music.

Answer 7

Just an idea Pick a letter from the Alphabet and Theme it on that letter. To make it even more interesting how bout making some forfeits and put them in a hat. The decoration would be part of that letter. Just do the normal style buffet including Turkey sandwiches. Well hope it goes well.

Answer 8

The Scarlet and the Black (Stendahl's novel) is a more original theme than black and white and easier (for the chaps anyway) than silver and gold.

Also, you could do some (or all) red food, serve red wine, use red balloons etc.

Sorry I can't help with the finger buffet, for some reason my mind will not move on from tomatoes. And liquorice allsorts. Oh well, it's a great book, anyway !

Answer 9

Answer 10

as the year will be 2007 a BOND themed party would be good! You could have the theme music too. You could get images from movies downloaded and printed out and make banners with them or stick them around the room. Try cookery books for food ideas!
Whatever you go with though ENJOY
