New Year's Eve is an occasion to ping old friends, gather a bunch of family members, order food and drinks and enjoy the evening together. But for times when you don't know how to pull off that outstanding party, we've laid out an entire guide which will make your house party oh so fun!
From Food To After-Party Clean Up: Your Guide To An Epic NYE House Party
The Booze
How does one create an epic party? Only if there’s alcohol flowing without it running out! Make sure your booze is enough to last the entire night. Call up Bar Mobile and they’ll set up a bar for you, whatever your budget. If you’re into BYOB, call up Deepak Wines (they deliver in and around Bandra). No cash at home? Deepak Wines will bring a card machine along.
P.S: In case you wish to buy alcohol at wholesale prices, Modern Wines in Dadar is your go-to shop.
The Decor
You may not always have the time to deck up your space before a party. Thanks to the last minute work that your office bestows upon you every year on the 31st morning. Instead of stepping out to buy decor essentials like frills, buntings, disco lights, or other cool accessories, get them delivered to your doorstep from Party Propz or Wanna Party, and you'll be sorted.
P.S: If you want someone to customize the decor for you, trust Parties By Peru to plan things for your NYE party!
The Food
No party is complete without a tub of popcorn. You can order gourmet flavors like chocolate, golden cheese, mocha walnut, or the classic caramel. When it comes to food, nothing beats a good pizza. And, to cater to the large crowd size is pizza delivery joint Monster Pizza that has 24-inch pizzas to fill everyone up.
P.S: In case you're ordering food very late in the night, check these joints out.
Some Fun Games
What's even a party without some games to keep the momentum going? But we do understand that buying games isn't something you want to invest on. Because who otherwise has the time to play board games (thanks to the hectic work sched) So, here's what you can do, rent a few board games from Mutterly, Game Changer, or a Rent Karde. The price per game is very minimal. All you've got to do is keep the games in a good condition.
The Music
In a mood to party the night away? We say dance it out! May we suggest some music to groove to before it turns into a 90s music video throwback or an all-out Govinda fan fest? Streo lets you live stream gigs from all over the world, including those that are happening in Mumbai. The app, which is available for download on both iOs and Android, allows you to choose by artist or venue to listen to past and present music concerts.
P.S: For our absolute Bollywood-lovers, there’s no site better than GhatiParty (ready playlist of your fave numbers)
Additional Furniture
The lord knows how difficult it is to accommodate everyone in a house party (unless you own a huge bungalow or villa) Sometimes, you tend to fall short of beds and sofas, or maybe you'd want to rent a cabinet to store your drinks for a night. For times like these, rent your furniture from at cost-effective rates from either a Furlenco or a Rentomojo.
The Cleanup
Had a great time and now too tired to fix the house up yourself or ask your friends to help collect those bottles? Fret not, we’ve got the answer. There are a few agencies like BookMyBai that will take care of the mess the morning after. Install their app or ask for a cleaner online, they’ll return your house spick and span.
The Hangover Cure
Head out for a hearty breakfast to make yourself feel better. A few places you could hit up are Social, The Nutcracker, Theobroma, Fable in Juhu or the Bombay Coffee House in Bandra. Enough to keep you going and not talk about ‘that dreaded headache’ again!
P.S: If you don't want to step out but still have an instant cure, stock up on some Morning Fresh (orange flavour) detox drink that helps you bounce back to normal life without a headache in just a few minutes.
