Looking for fun themed New Years Eve party ideas? Masquerade Parties have a long tradition in the party circuit, dating back to the Italian Renaissance. Throughout the last 600 years, masked parties have experienced popular resurgence in a number of cultures throughout Europe and the Americas. Today, masquerade parties still hold their own in popular culture. Borrowing from history, tradition and pop culture, our New Year’s masquerade party decorations are a cinch to pull together, but still make an impact. Produce visually arresting tablescapes for your New Year’s masquerade party by renting deep gold tablecloths from a local rental company. Add a black lace overlay or thick runner on top of the gold tablecloth for a luxurious, rich effect. A signature champagne-based cocktail or two is a welcome addition to a well-stocked party bar. Lend pizzazz to your cocktails and other beverages with your own mini masquerade mask drink stirrers.
New Year’s wouldn’t be complete with noisemakers! Tradition holds that making lots of noise at midnight will deflect devilish spirits from entering the New Year. Pick up enough party blowers and noisemakers or try the old-fashioned waybang pots and pans with your guests! We all know how great that first kiss at midnight is, especially so for partners and significant others. That first kiss ensures intimacy and a close relationship throughout the New Year. Pucker up with a special new lip gloss! Finally, when planning your dinner menu, focus on pork. Since pigs eat their food moving forward, enjoying pork on New Year’s will assure the year ahead will be bountiful.
