Let the Countdown Begin Party Planning
Don't let the countdown begin without some well thought out party planning. This event theme usually signals the end of an old year and the beginning of the new year. So, it's meant to be fun, festive, and filled with drinks, music and lots of fun decoration. While, some cultures view the end of the year as a time to reflect on their past actions, others view it as a time to celebrate the passing of time and the fact that another fresh year is just beginning. Make your Countdown party as fun as possible with just the right kind of decoration.
Since the theme of this party is a countdown consider decorations with clocks, sundials and even hourglasses in them to remind everyone that this is about a countdown. Your other options are to go with silver and gold. Colors popular for most New Year's parties as they symbolize money, and wealth, hopefully in the coming year. It's traditional to throw confetti at the zero hour, so make sure you get plenty on hand. In fact, you can make up little baggies of confetti to handout to the guests, with the instructions that they don't start tossing the glitter until the right time. Other than that, New Year's hats, noisemakers and balloons are all great decorations for this event.
Champagne is a popular drink for a party with the Let the Countdown Begin theme. So, in your party planning, make sure to put it on the list. One bottle of champagne on average will fill 6 flute glasses with the bubbly froth. You can definitely assume the guests will drink more than one glass a piece. More like two or three. So, buy enough ahead of time that people won't start grumbling when refreshments run dry. |
