Theme It Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other popular options include prohibition parties<\/a>, masquerade mystique, or even black light. Just be sure that your theme aligns with interests of the guests you are inviting.<\/p>\n

Share the Year\u2019s Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n

NYE is also about reflecting on the past year. For smaller parties, have guests write their favorite memory of the year on fun colored paper and place them in a mason jar. Read these aloud to relive great memories. For large parties, have guests tweet or share a post on Instagram and portray them on a screen inside. Guests will love to see themselves on a big screen!<\/p>\n

Make it Memorable with Photo Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n

At any fabulous party people are going to want pictures. Who doesn\u2019t love capturing a memory of when they are dressed to the nines or having a blast with friends? Set up a photo booth or create a space with a festive backdrop. Encourage guests to strike a pose by having fun props to pose with. Include props with the upcoming and past year, fancy glasses (stars, sparkles, & funky spectacles), mustaches & lips, and printed phrases like the one below!<\/p>\n
