If you are going to throw a New Year's "feast for the whole world" with many guests, then nine rules will definitely come in handy. After all, the best event is a carefully planned event.
1. Drawing up a guest list
A house party is not a wedding celebration, and there is no point in inviting hundreds of guests. It's important to decide in advance who you are willing to invite. It is not a good idea to invite guests with children, unless you yourself are a parent and the rest of the guests will be without children. The presence of a child at an adult party is unacceptable. That is why, if you have friends with children, you need to find out if they can leave the child at home. If you are absolutely sure that they will not have such an opportunity, invite them separately, choosing a different date for this. Or you can go the other way: invite all friends with children and think over a separate program for the children. But then one cannot count on a stormy celebration.
2. Prepare invitations in advance
The New Year's party involves the arrival of guests with gif.webpts, which must be thought about in advance. If you send invitations right on the eve of the celebration, your friends will be forced to spend their last days in the shopping bustle and sweep away the first thing at hand. It is clear that at the time of the presentation, they will feel awkward, because most likely the most they can get is the notorious shower set or photo frame.
3. Discuss the dress code
When someone comes to a party in a chic New Year's dress, and the rest of the guests don simple jeans and a T-shirt, the awkward moment arises again. Just like if one of the guests comes to a party in casual clothes while the others are dressed up, everyone, including the owner of the house, will feel uncomfortable. In general, overly elegant dresses do not look quite appropriate at a house party. In any case, it is necessary to think over the issue with the dress code in advance.
4. New Year's table
There is no need to organize a huge table, unless, of course, you yourself express the desire. When thinking about what to cook for the New Year, it is important to check the guest list. See if your friends include any of the following categories: vegetarians, allergy sufferers, non-alcoholic people, eternally on a diet. If there are any, you will have to think about what should be on the New Year's table in order to please everyone.
5. Entertainment program
Parties in the spirit of “just sit, drink, listen to music” are a very sad phenomenon. It becomes even sadder if there are people among the guests who meet each other for the first time. You yourself will get tired pretty quickly, strenuously trying to pretend to be a cheerful toastmaster. The best option is board games designed for a large company (mafia, forfeits, etc.). It is a fun and intimate activity that will create a warm atmosphere. In addition, a list of musical compositions for the evening must be compiled in advance.
6. Shop with a prepared list
Foods and alcoholic beverages are not the main concern. Naturally, it is impossible to forget about them. Another thing is garbage bags, napkins (including wet ones, because some of the guests will surely stain or spill something) and excess dishes (surely at least one glass will break).
7. Smokers
If you yourself do not smoke and do not tolerate the smell of cigarette smoke, there are two ways out: ask guests to smoke on the street or provide a balcony for this. Still, forcing friends to go out every time is not very good, it is better to equip a balcony in advance.For example, you can equip it with a rug if guests are going to take off their shoes in the house, and ashtrays, which should be immediately included in the list along with groceries.
8. Notify the neighbors
Even if the party will take place right on the 31st, when the entire population is buzzing and lighting firecrackers, the neighbors must be warned. First of all, this is the rule of etiquette. Also, the distant hum from the street and the sounds behind the wall make a big difference.
9. Think about an extra bed
Even if you have a small apartment and you are not going to drink a lot of alcohol, and there are no guests among the guests who arrive from far away, you still need to prepare a sleeping place for a guest who will not be able to go home. There is a high probability that someone will stay, especially since New Year is a holiday that is celebrated until the morning.
10. Clean up before bed
As depressing as it sounds, waking up among the bowls of yesterday's New Year's salad is even more depressing. Therefore, even if you are very tired, try to clean up from the table, put food in the refrigerator, and what should be thrown away - thrown away.
11. Isn't the morning good?
Take care of the contents of your first aid kit in advance: aspirin, anti-hangover drugs. If the New Year's party is too much fun, some of those present will suffer from a hangover in the morning. Also, it will not be superfluous to have remedies for food poisoning, burns, pain relievers and bandages. We hope you don’t need them, and the New Year will pass for you carefree and joyful!
