New Year is almost here and it's the right time to plan fun house parties and office engagements. For those of you who are looking for cool decor and party games for your home and office, we've got this a fab list of ideas for you. Whether you're throwing a theme party or not, these ideas will make sure that your party is the most unique one this New Year.
Let's get started, shall we?
You can set up a wall on which everyone can add their own New Year resolutions and bucket-lists. It'll be a fun activity to go over with the entire group later, when everyone is done.
What You Will Need: Pin Board, Stationery, Post-its and Stickers
Where To Find It: There is a variety of Pin Boards available online. If you're looking for something simple you can look this one up on Amazon. Stationery such as pens, markers, sketch-pens, post-its, and stickers are things that can be found here, and we do love a cute collection of pens and markers from Penny Wise.
Transitioning from one year to another should be done surrounded by your loved ones and making memories. You can start by putting up a memory wall, where you can start adding pictures to commemorate your good days. Put the best pictures you have with each one of your guests here, definitely makes for a great conversation starter.
What You Will Need: Photo Clip String, Fairy Lights, Polaroid Camera, Permanent Markers.
Where To Find It: Photo Clip Strings are all the boho room decor rage these days, so you'll find plenty of options here. This one by Glimmer Lightings is our absolute favourite. To buy a Polaroid Camera, you can check out the many options available online on Amazon and Croma. Permanent Markers can be sourced from any local stationery.
P.S., if you want to buy some lamps for yourself, head over to this list and choose your pick.
If you're someone who likes to start the new year on a positive note, you will love this idea. Sky Lanterns look beautiful when they're set out in the sky, but they'd look even more beautiful with positive messages and wishes on it. Get one for all your friends, and send positive thoughts out to the universe, quite literally.
What You Will Need: Sky Lanterns, Markers
Where To Find It: Sky Lanterns can be found online on websites such as Amazon and Flipkart. Markers can be found at any online stationery stores like StatMo and Scholar.
For those of you who are a group of travel buffs, this party game will help you get inspiration for your next vacation. Just take a dart, close your eyes and shoot your shot. These wall stickers, especially, look absolutely cool not just as a party game but also as wall decor.
What You Will Need: A map of the world/India, Darts
Where To Find It: World Maps of various kinds can be found online at Amazon, Flipkart, and India Map Store. Detailed maps of India can also be found at India Map Store. Darts can be found online at Amazon.
Psst, if you're not one for games, here's a list of exciting treks that you could take in 2021.
Time capsules, in the forms of messages in bottles, can be displayed across the room. It would be a fun activity with friends, to write messages to your future self or to commemorate the year you've had. And even more so, when you open them up and read them again with the same friends a year later.
What You Will Need: Cork Glass Bottles, Paper, Pens.
Where To Find It: Wonky Works has fancy and sustainable options that come with or without corks and plenty of interesting designs. The pricing, however, is a bit steeper on those.
Everybody is going to snack, a lot. So, it's better if you take out your "fancy" crockery before the party and let it be the centre of attraction (after the food, of course).
What You Will Need: Serving Trays, Platters, LOTS of snacks
Where To Find It: From printed to wooden to hand-painted (yes), you can find all kinds of beautiful trays and platters here. This floral printed one by Brick Brown looks amazing for serving snacks in bowls. And whether it's popcorns, chips and dips, chocolates, cookies, and just about any snack item for your party, we've got you covered.
Talking of which, here are some snacks that we turned into meals in 2020.
Do you also light a few fragrant candles before inviting guests over for a party or are these just my perfume beliefs? Either way, captivating fruity notes quickly fill up the space with pleasing scents making the room snugger. Best part: you could get some for your friends too as a New Year's gift once they leave.
What You Will Need: Scented Candles
Where To Find It: Our Shop On LBB has a wonderful range of candles and fragrances that you can shop for from great brands like Joyous Beam (they've got a Harry Potter themed one too), Maeva and lots more. Our personal favourite is the Orange Cranberry Sorbet Candle from SmiiSenses.
