Head out of 2019 with an epic New Year bash!

- Aric Ting

1 MAKE IT OFFICIAL

Send out invites and not just lazy social media ones; try the DIY route and make your custom physical invites to really up the ante. A great New Year’s Party is one that feels official, where everyone is excited and willing to wholeheartedly participate. Don’t forget to include date, time and venue; include a custom message for each guest if you want to go the extra mile.

2 GET WITH A THEME

A theme not only makes planning everything more streamlined, but it also gets guests in the party mood even days before as they prepare themselves. Keep it fun, simple, and easy to adhere to; additionally, be lenient and don’t be a Debby Downer if a guest or two doesn’t come dressed accordingly. To save on costs, recycle the festive decor from Christmas as much as possible even if it means repainting and customising them to suit the theme.

3 WHITTLE DOWN THE GUEST LIST
