Party Planning and More…

With a new year, you can expect a new life. People wish each other good luck, peace, and promise ourselves and others that we will do better in the upcoming year.  So you want to host the King of all Parties to start everybody’s New Year off with a bang!  One tradition for New Year’s Eve is a Masquerade Party.  According to this tradition guest dress up in costumes and cover their faces with mask and as the clock strikes midnight the guest unmask. You may even want to have a theme Masquerade party.  Some costume themes that you might like are:

– Have guest dress as something involving their New Year’s resolutions

– Have guest dress as something representing the New Year.

– Dead Celebrities

– Heaven & Hell

– Vicars & Tarts

– Wild West

– Las Vegas Party Theme

– Animal/Jungle

– Chains and Leather

– Decade Party (i.e. 50’s, 60’s, 70’s or 80’s)

– Gods & Goddesses

– Stone-Age

– Toga Party

It is important to play some dance music and have some fun playing games to keep the party fun.  A costume contest is the standard for any masquerade party.  You can spice yours up by setting up a rug having your guests walk the runway to be judged for the contest. Have your guests write down a description of themselves and their costume before they walk down the runway. Have someone act as the announcer and introduce each guest as they are on the runway.  Come up with lots of crazy categories for prizes so you can award a ton of prizes. (i.e. Best Use of Glitter, Most Colorful Costume, Costume Most Likely to Get You Arrested, Most Reveling Costume)
