Don’t worry; we are here to the rescue with the ultimate party guide on ‘How to throw an awesome New Year bash’ for those special people you want to spend the night with. We have brought to you the most unique and classiest theme – A Masquerade Theme Party – At Home!

Dress Code and Theme –

The dresses have to give a dramatic look, like evening gowns with lots of frills and feathers. The color code could be black, purple or red. The mask is the most important part obviously, so you can also hand out tiaras and masks on your guests’ arrival. It should be fancy and sparkling
Decor –

Always remember that decorations are a very important part to give the right feel. You can either go for a fun look with  disco balls, bulbs,  glitter. The color theme could be metallic and shiny shades combined with blue or red. Or you can go for an elegant look with subtle decorations with lots of lights and paper lights with color  combination.

Music –

This again depends on the mood of the party. A masquerade requires hot, sexy and romantic music so catch hold of such numbers. You can also add your guests’ favorite songs and make a mix CD. If you’re going for a proper ball-type mood you can select classic songs and jazz numbers but i don’t imagine everybody enjoying it, You can hire a dj or get one of your friends to get remixed cds and play the best happening party music out there – Music is really important at the parties.

Food and Drinks –

Food can be simple and easy to eat  but should be served throughout the night. Finger picks, snacks mostly, cup cakes,  kebabs and fruit punches will do well and are also easy to make in large quantities. Keep 2-3 dishes unique and healthy for your health-conscious friends as well. If you can arrange a chocolate fountain that would make your party perfect.  Champagne and wine can be served especially at the stroke of midnight!

Tips –

Some more things that you can keep in mind are that you can complement your guests on their outfits because this party requires a higher level of preparation. As for gifts you can give out goodie bags filled with the accessory , masks, crazy New Year resolutions from your side and photos as a thank you note.
This party will require a lot of planning and you’ll have to send out the invitations in advance. These were just a few ideas for your party, you can personalize these-use your imagination! So ladies, doll up and throw a bash that none of your guest forgets-Ever!
