New year poster
A New Year's poster will help to meet the guests and immediately cheer everyone up. There are several options for its manufacture:
- just print photos of loved ones, stick them on a sheet of Whatman paper, write a wish under each photo and decorate the poster itself with a garland;
- create a thematic New Year's poster: stick photos of guests, additionally decorating them, for example, add a crown to all ladies, a sword or a horse for men, “dress up” children with snowflakes and bunnies;
- write a short poem or a couple of lines with pleasant words about each guest - and let the guests guess for whom the eulogy speeches are specifically written;
- write the very beginning of the wishes under the guest's photo, so that everyone who comes can add something of their own.
A cheerful crowd of joyful people in front of a New Year's Whatman paper will cheer you up for the whole evening.
Exotic cocktails
Traditional champagne for the New Year, even expensive and tasty, is no longer surprising. If you prepare recipes for unusual exotic cocktails and prepare everything for their preparation, then so each guest will be able to feel like a bartender and distribute to friends their own hand-made New Year's the drinks.
For example, a non-alcoholic pomegranate cocktail will be bright and unusual, which even kids can drink, for which you will need:
- pomegranate juice from a bag;
- thick natural or vanilla yogurt;
- fresh mint leaves;
- pomegranate nucleoli;
- mineral water.
Juice, yogurt and ice mineral water are whipped in a mixer, the cocktail is poured into tall glasses and decorated with pomegranate seeds and a mint leaf.
If outdoor activities are planned after the celebration, after a walk and sledding, guests can cook mulled wine from hot wine, a special mixture of spices and tangerine zest. If children want mulled wine, you can prepare the same for them, but take pomegranate or dark grape juice as a basis.
Ded Moroz and Snegurochka
It's a great idea to invite Santa Claus and Snegurochka on a festive night. Even if the company gathers without children, there will be a lot of joy, especially when Santa Claus makes twenty-thirty-year-olds Little Johnny and Mashenek get up on a chair, tell a rhyme and sing a song, and then give everyone a little sweet present. And the round dance around the tree will be remembered then all year round.
Games
If dancing, karaoke, treats and walks are bored, you can play games such as:
- mafia;
- popular board games "Imaginarium" or "Crocodile";
- forfeits.
Board games perfectly unite even an unfamiliar company of people and allow you to plunge into the pleasant atmosphere of childhood.
Make wishes
The magic ritual of making wishes for the New Year can be played with a lot of fun. Distribute to each of those present a pen and a small piece of paper on which the guests will write their most intimate. Then the leaves are curled up, placed in a bottle or a beautiful tin can. The container must be tightly sealed (for example, pour wax from a candle), bury it in the snow under a Christmas tree or pine tree and firmly believe in the fulfillment of the plan.
Karaoke
On a festive night, even the most shy ones are ready to sing their favorite song, which is definitely worth taking advantage of. To please your guests, you will need:
- computer or laptop;
- columns;
- microphone;
- access to the Internet;
- karaoke program, for example, on the site "Karaoke.ru".
We go to the site, choose your favorite song, sing to the soundtrack or together with the performer - the choice of songs and their options is huge.
Write letters to Santa Claus
Both children and adults can participate. To do this, we prepare in advance a large box with the inscription "New Year's Mail", and upon arrival, we distribute beautiful pieces of paper to them and ask them to write a letter to Santa Claus. You can write about anything - about your dreams, material desire, just draw what you would like to receive. Then the letters are hidden in an envelope, signed and put into a box.
The main point of the letters is to read them at the end of the year, so everyone should make a promise to meet next New Year's Eve, open the box and find out if their plans came true.
