From food to drinks and decorations to entertainment, if you are the party planner, you must start scooping out ideas to make the last night of the year count.

Hence, here we present to you a comprehensive party planning checklist to help you throw the most exciting New Year’s bash ever!

6 Point Checklist to make your New Year Party a Fabulous One!

1.Start with the guest list

 You must start planning your New Year’s bash by sketching out the guest list first. The size of your guest list must complement the kind of party you want to throw – grand or an intimate one, including the amount of space you have, and your budget. Entail guests whom you really want to invite, like your close friends and family.

Send out e-invites to all the guests at least a week before, so that they have ample time to schedule and plan things out.

2.Decide the décor

 Trailing the trends; you can also give a theme to your party, for added drama and fun! Don’t force yourself into thinking about themes that end up being too overboard instead, work on themes that can be carried out conveniently. Try simple themes like a Bollywood night, black and white etc. But, if themes are not your thing, hosting a casual fun night is equally exciting.

You can decorate your space with all-gilded balloons tucked up on your ceiling, a lot of colorful streamers, and cute New Year banners. Party hats, jumbo glasses, and noisemakers are amongst other party pleasers that can make the whole party décor fun and lively.

If all this sounds like too much work, you can simply call a professional party planner at your home, using UrbanClap’s “Party Planner”services  and get the entire planning done at an affordable price.

3.The Menu

 Finger food and snacks are ideal for an all-night party. Prepare the food in advance, if you are cooking yourself. For a more convenient and no-risk option, you can go for hiring a catering service. And if you are hiring one, you can pick UrbanClap and get experienced caterers to cook a scrumptious mealfor you and your guests. Pizzas, appetizers, veggies, and dips are some good-to-go options for evening parties.

4.Spirits

 A New Year’s bash calls for getting the bottoms up! So, stock up on drinks to serve your guests all night long. Plus, you must save bottles of champagne to make a toast when the clock strikes 12. Along with strong drinks, you must also have a stock of mild drinks to serve those who don’t drink hard. Keep juices, mixers, and ice handy, and in sufficient quantities. A party for the New Year’s Eve is apparently no-fun without beverages. .

5.Plan your playlist

 A good party can happen only with some good quality music. Organizing music must find priority on your party planning checklist. While making your party playlist, you must pay heed to guests’ interests and the theme of your party (if any). Along with the latest tracks, you must keep some classics ready to jazz up the party mood. Can one ever stop grooving to ‘I’m sexy and I know it’?

6.Midnight hour

 It is one of the must-do party planning ideas. You must plan something exciting for the ultimate midnight hour. During the countdown to midnight, a toast of champagne or something special must be planned to mark the fiesta of entering the New Year. A special something at 12 O’ clock will be the last bit you can do to make your party a memorable moment for the bygone year
