Time for a Change
A Celebration for
2010
It’s the
New Year and time to celebrate the many changes that are happening this year
– new attitudes and new (or recycled) resolutions! So why not have a
Time for a Change New Year's Eve party– it’s easy, fun and probably the
kind of party your friends have never attended before.
New Year's Eve Party Invitations
 A
great party begins with a great invitation – it starts generating excitement for
your event immediately. And, it doesn’t have to be expensive, especially if
you’re creative.
What says change more than a clock! Design your own clock invitation either by
cutting one out of colorful construction paper (and writing the information on
the back in glitter pen) or finding a graphic online.
A calendar is another way to show the passing of time. Copy the month of
December from a favorite calendar and circle December 31. Invite your guests to
“Come Change the Page” with you.
If you don’t have “time” to make an invitation, a
personalized New Year's Eve
invitation from Creations for You is the perfect choice.
And one final thought…send a
candy watch as an invitation. Write or print out the information on a card
and attach it with a colorful ribbon to this timeless treat. Wrap it in tissue
paper before putting it in the envelope to guarantee that it doesn’t break. Or,
if you’re not having a huge party, hand deliver them.
Whatever type of invitation you decide to use, mail it as early as possible.
Remember, this is a busy time of year and people book up early.
New Year's Eve Decorations and
Party Supplies
 Welcome
your guests with a
personalized New Year’s banner. Add your own message (Time to party!) to
a festive, weather resistant banner (we even have one with a clock on it). It looks
great inside or out.
As they walk into the party room, they’ll be delighted with all the New Year’s
decorations. Choose from colorful
ceiling danglers, glittering
Happy New Year banners or
2010 prismatic swirls.
Scatter bunches of balloon bouquets in a variety of colors around the room for a
celebratory touch. Place them in corners and around doorways. Use them on your
tables as centerpieces but place each bouquet in a glass bowl filled with coins.
This is after all Time for "Change"!
New Year's Eve Menu and Table
Decorations
 New
Year’s Eve is always a late night party so you may not want to start the
festivities until after 9pm. This makes menu planning much easier. Offer heavy
hors d’oeuvres and desserts; they can easily be made in advance and will still
be tasty at midnight.
Whatever you serve, place it all on fabulous
sparkling New Year paper goods because New Year’s Eve is not the time to be doing
dishes!
Whatever types of beverages you decide to have, serve them in
light up glasses that change colors. Or, give your regular glasses a little
extra splash with
tri-color cubes that will flash to different colors all night long. They’re
sure to be a huge hit with your guests.
New Year's Eve
Activities
First
and foremost, hang a big clock on the wall so everyone can watch as the year
changes at midnight. If you prefer to watch it happen on tv, just make or buy
(from a school supply store) a big colorful one. It will be a great decoration.
Hand out some great noisemakers for everyone to use as they celebrate the New
Year:
It’s a night of fun and merriment as you wait for 2009
to change to 2010 and
music is key to any party. Create your own cds (don’t forget to include the
classic song “Changes” by David Bowie) or just plug in your personal music
device and you will have tunes all night long.
 Capture the evening forever with great photos of your guests. Scatter
personalized New Year's
cameras from Creations for You around the room and everyone will be snapping
all night.
If
you like more “formal” photos, consider a
cutout of Father Time or Baby
New Year from Creations for You. Your guests will love having their photos
taken as these classic characters and if you use a digital camera, you can post
them online for everyone to enjoy.
Party games are great for people of any ages. Time honored games like charades
are always fun but how about some games about change? Give your guests pieces of
paper and colorful markers and tell them to finish the sentence “I want to
change my………in 2010.” Who knows what people will say, my hair color, my job, my
relationship with my mother-in-law! Have them post them on the wall and then let
everyone guess who wrote it. There are sure to be lots of comments and laughs
about them. (You can add another sentence like “The changes I want to see in the
world this year are…” a little more serious but you’re sure to get some
wonderful answers.
New Years Party Favors
 Just
like the year, all parties have to end but send your guests home with a souvenir
of a great evening. There are lots of choices but consider some of these:
-
Small calendars either purchased on created by you. What better way to start
the New Year than to change your calendar?
-
Multicolor 2010 glasses are a fun way to see in the New Year.
-
Inexpensive watches, candy watches (remember the invitations?) even a little
“spare change” like new shiny pennies for good luck, are all wonderful party
favors.
Not
everyone loves change, but with you and Party 411, this Time for Change
will be memorable for everyone!
