We won't be lying if we said we knew a little too many people who decide to stay indoors on NYE, binge watch trash TV, and pour themselves a drink alone, but last minute decide that they might as well call some friends over. If you're one of them, we've got your back with the best and easiest guide to throwing a fabulous NYE party.

Good, Good Grub
Apart from stocking up on packets of chips and chakna (you know people love it), Biryani Blues and Majeed’s are great options for good ol’ biryani and kebab meals. Both have outlets across Delhi NCR, they ensure prompt delivery and what matters most is that their food tastes great. For epic pizza, this place is one of our favourites. If you're cooking on your own, Meatigo has an exotic NYE special menu for bigger groups or pork chops for a private party of 2, starting at INR 195 which is undoubtedly, pretty affordable.
Pro Tip: Still not enough options? Check out all the home caterers for the yummiest food.
Hangover Free Parties!
One thing we've learned over the years is that no one wants to start their New Year feeling hungover. Cue Morning Fresh, our favourite and super effective anti-hangover drink, to the rescue! Morning Fresh is a natural detox drink designed to improve hydration, protect your liver and reduce hangovers. Their drinks are made using natural ingredients and come in easy-to-carry bottles and sachets in a variety of delicious flavours. Checkout their Instagram for bulk discounts and to know more.
Get Your Supplies Right
One thing we’ve learned from experience is that there’s no such thing as extra party supplies. Napkins, glasses, and plates are items we always run out of, so you’ve got to be prepared. Check out our list of awesome party supply stores in Gurgaon for beautiful-looking decor, beer pong plastic cups, playing cards, poker sets, fairy lights, and more. You can also head to these Delhi NCR stores we found that are also, conveniently, available online.
Make A Clean Sweep
Cleaning is the one task that most of us dread but fret not, because Broomberg will ensure that every corner of your house looks spick and span within a few hours. Pre or post-NYE cleaning blues, this home-cleaning service will take care of everything from window and glass, bathroom and kitchen cleaning to vacuuming, floor and balcony starting at affordable prices. We also recommend you get your home sanitised post gathering just to be extra careful. Check out the budget home sanitisers we've personally tried here.
Set The Mood (With The Right Music)
No party is complete without an impromptu karaoke session or some bops and bangers to move to (throwback music is a must) so we did all the heavy lifting and made a list of the best Spotify playlists you can put on and vibe to.
Pro Tip: Don't have good speakers? Check out our list of the best home audio speakers (and sound bars).
Booze No Snooze
One thing that people look forward to at parties, is drinking and since there’s no such thing as too much alcohol (especially on New Year's eve), it’s always better to stock up. Check out our list of 11 homegrown alcohol brands that are killing it, which you'll find in most thekas, especially the nicer ones. If you're playing bartender, check out the best mixers you can order online so you don't miss those Keya-Bohca-Summer House nights.
