Themes to consider for your New Year’s Eve party

The theme you choose for your party depends on many factors, but the most important thing to remember is that you want to tailor the theme to your audience. 

If you’re planning an NYE party for adults, you might want to think about an over-the-top theme with cocktails to match; when planning a New Year’s Eve event for children, you’ll need to think about how to keep the kids entertained.

Here are some interesting NYE theme ideas for your inspiration:

  • Noon Year’s Eve: Organize a kid-friendly event by planning a New Year’s party during daylight hours.
  • Movie marathon: If you’re planning a virtual New Year’s event, try a Christmas and New Year movie marathon in which attendees watch with one another from the comfort of their homes.
  • James Bond/007 theme: Plan a black-tie affair with a dash of intrigue. Encourage guests to give their best impression of James Bond, an infamous Bond villain, or a mysterious Bond girl. Serve vodka martinis that are shaken, not stirred.
  • Wellness/self-care: Plan a wellness event focusing on pampering and self-care if your attendees are partied out after the holidays. Offer treatments like massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures, or throw a forest bathing event like Friends of the National Arboretum to help your guests relax and heal during the new year.
  • Old Hollywood: Another glamorous New Year’s Eve party theme, Old Hollywood allows attendees to dress like the original stars of the silver screen. Serve on-theme cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and play music from classic Hollywood movies.
  • Roaring Twenties: Throw it back to the 1920s with a party that brings to mind flappers and The Great Gatsby. Guests can dance to jazz and rock flapper fashions.
  • Winter wonderland: It’s pretty cold in many places on New Year’s Eve, so embrace the weather with a winter wonderland party.
  • Masquerade: For a masquerade party, guests wear elaborately decorated disguises, bringing an element of mystery and fun to the event. You can also use this opportunity to support a charity or raise funds for your cause, like Dance for Life Suicide Prevention & Good Mental Health Nonprofit is doing this NYE.
  • Champagne tasting: Champagne is the traditional New Year’s Eve drink, so why not plan a Champagne tasting event for bubbly enthusiasts?
  • Decades party: Celebrate one decade, or all of them, by asking your guests to dress in styles from a particular decade.
  • Looking to the future party: Help your attendees find out if next year will be their year by throwing a party that includes fortune-telling and tarot card readings.
