Whether you’re planning a corporate bash or a private holiday event for the New Year, there’s one thing to be certain of: a glamorous outcome. New Year’s Eve is that time of year when glitter and glamour are the name of the game for a party. How can you plan the most compelling party? Here are some tips to host a glamorous New Year’s event this year:
Go big or go home—or join in at home
If you’re a big brand who is hoping to throw an unforgettable experience that is both good for your brand and also something fun to do, then consider the benefits of hosting a hybrid event where you get both attendees at the live event as well as those who attend from their home, thanks to real-time live streaming services that allow anyone to attend the event, wherever they may be. This gives those who are simply unable to get out to the event a chance to still have a blast, even if it’s at home.
Rent out a venue
If you’re all about a glamorous New Year’s event this year, renting a venue for the party can be a great way to host a party that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Whether it’s a room at a local restaurant or it’s an event space, throwing a big party may call for a venue that isn’t your home.
If you’re a brand that wants to highlight aspects of your services through a party, it’s paramount that you choose an event space that can accommodate the number of people you hope to invite to your party. You also want it to stand up to the kind of quality that your business stands for.
Hire catering and bartending
While a low-key event may be all about a potluck and BYOB, a more glamorous affair could benefit from a professional catering company that offers great cuisine and high-end bartending. This can allow for an event that is as glamorous as it is memorable. Keep in mind that you may have a variety of preferences and dietary needs that come up during your event, so plan ahead and make sure you’re including options for those who may have intolerances or dietary restrictions, such as no gluten or pure vegan meals. This way, everyone is happy, and you create an event that caters to all.
Use your event for something good
If you’re hosting a glamorous New Year party as a way to raise money for a charity, you can use QR codes for attendee check-in and charge a small yet beneficial amount that will go towards the charity of your choosing.
This is something that can be a good idea for brands that are seeking to get more involved in their community and looking to pay it forward. Events like New Year parties get a lot of attention when well planned, as they’re something fun that people look forward to, but even better when the money spent is going to those in need.
Consider entertainment
If you’re hosting an event without children, consider entertainment for adults, whether it’s a live band or a local DJ. If your holiday party will be with family and friends, an entertainer like a face painter or balloon artist could be a great idea. This way, you can be confident that everyone will have something to keep them entertained and to look forward to. This may be especially beneficial for a holiday party that has a price tag attached to it.
In Conclusion
From corporate parties to events with your favorite people, New Year’s Eve is a great time to host a party that is as glamorous as the holiday calls for. From classy outfits to top bottles of champagne, a great New Year party is well-planned and includes all the best things for an unforgettable way of ringing in the New Year.
