New Year's Eve Party Ideas
Admit it. Although the evening is often referred to as “amateur night”, and we know better, we still want to be part of the nationwide celebration! Instead of spending a fortune going out, why not host your own party? Invite your closest friends and create the memories of a lifetime! Following are some theme ideas for your party:

Rat Pack Party
The Rat Pack is the epitome of cocktail cool! Perfect for a New Year’s Eve party, the Rat Pack theme consists of black and white colors, music from the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, James Dean, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford), poker and karaoke.

For an extra touch at a Rat Pack dinner party, you can name your dishes after the ever-popular songs: “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” Clam Chowder, “Luck Be A Lady” Lobster Tail and “All the Way” Wilted Spinach Salad.

PJ Party
For New Year’s Eve, a big concern can be drinking and driving. If this is a concern, consider hosting a grown-up slumber party! Ask guests to wear pajamas to the party, which should start after dinner. The evening’s events can include slumber party activities ranging from charades to twister! If you don’t have enough beds for guests, be sure to invest in some air mattresses and sleeping bags.
