\"\"<\/a>Want to go to the best New Year\u2019s Eve party in town?\u00a0 It is easy – and you will not have to pay a big entrance fee at a club to do it! You do not even need to get out of your pyjamas! How? Throw a fabulous party at your house for you, your kids and a couple of good friends who also have kids! It is easy and fun and can be a real highlight in your year. Here are our suggestions:<\/br><\/br><\/p>\n

The Theme \u2013 Throw back to the 1950\u2019s and do your party right! Make it Pyjama Party and have the kids in tents or big cushions in the play room. Or go fancy and let the kids play dress-up; or really dress-up with a theme such as favourite super heroes. If that all seems like too much, keep it easy with a \u2018crazy hat theme\u2019 and see who shows up in what!<\/br><\/p>\n

Dinner \u2013 Make it easy on yourself and give everyone attending \u2013 including the kids \u2013 an assignment. Pot luck is also fun just make sure you check for allergies! Giving the kids responsibility will make them really feel a part of the festivities.<\/br><\/p>\n

Decorations – Get out your party box! It is New Year\u2019s Eve so go over the top! Bring out all of your party hats, and streamers and balloons and blowers. If there is a night to be loud, this is it. An easy and festive way to create some \u2018magic\u2019 for the evening is to fill balloons with confetti and then pop them when you celebrate midnight.\u00a0 Just make sure your vacuum cleaner is working first!<\/br><\/p>\n

Activities \u2013 The options are endless but some include board game marathons, skits and plays, charades, scraping booking to capture the year, mocktail competitions, a slide show of all the family pictures from the year, learning and then singing \u201cAuld Lang Syne\u201d, and more!<\/br><\/p>\n

Midnight \u2013 If you have young kids, you can easily have an earlier midnight. Simply play the video of the ball dropping from the previous year. If you did not think that far ahead, YouTube is a great source. And then get your kids in bed and start part 2 of your party!<\/br><\/br><\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/strong><\/br> <\/br> <\/p>\n
