If you decide to have a New Year's party at home, be prepared for the fact that the bulk of the hassle of organizing the holiday will fall on your shoulders. How to organize perfect holiday? You need to take care of this in advance and think through everything to the smallest detail. We hope that our advice will help you with this.

Remember, the main thing is your positive attitude! Try to do everything easily, with joy, with thoughts that you will succeed. In addition, try to involve your friends to the maximum in preparing for the holiday, and you will have a pleasant reason to meet again. If you approach the organization of the evening creatively, the preparation process will surely give you no less pleasure than the holiday itself - this has been proven by experience!

So that the organization of the party does not turn into a stupid fuss at the last moment, initially we think through everything to the smallest detail:

Guests

How many?

First you need to decide on the number of guests that you are ready to receive and the space of your home. Keep in mind that according to statistics, somewhere around ¼ of the invitees are eventually eliminated, so you can safely invite people with a small "margin". Tip: ask the invitees to give you a clear answer at least a week before the party - this way you will avoid unpleasant surprises(disappointment) from a lack or, conversely, an overabundance of guests.

Who?

It is best to invite verified, pleasant friend friend and you guests. Think about who you would really like to see, with whom it is easy and simple for you. You should not invite people unpleasant to you "out of courtesy", because this is your holiday. It's okay if the guests don't know each other beforehand: your party will give them the opportunity to make new friends. However, you should not gather at one holiday people who are at odds with each other or who do not sympathize with each other, the atmosphere during the holiday can be tense.

Party type

What kind of party will you have - classic (traditional) or themed?

First, think about what style your holiday will be. Of course, each company has its own New Year's program, and it all depends on the place of celebration and on who you are going to invite. Age, gender, the presence of the second half - in this case this plays an important role.

Classic (traditional) party with entertainment

If you prefer given type parties, carefully consider the script (evening program) and prepare interesting entertainment so that the New Year does not turn into a boring feast with watching TV. Choose fun and original contests, games and sketches and offer them to your friends. Surely they will gladly take part in them. Take care of small souvenirs for contests and prizes for the funniest players - this will serve as an additional incentive for your guests to be active.

A little imagination, and you will get an excellent and unforgettable holiday meet the New Year! :)

Advice: if something does not go according to your scenario, do not get upset, worry and insist on your own. It happens that some kind of game in one company goes with a bang, while in another it does not arouse enthusiasm. Here you just need to quickly switch to something else interesting. Sometimes guests just want to talk or dance, without games and competitions. The main thing is fun, positive and good mood everyone present! In this case, you can safely say that your party was a success!

Entertainment program for the New Year 2019

What can be included in it? We offer big choice interesting New Year's entertainment that you will find on the links on our website:

Theme party

If you are not satisfied with a classic (traditional) party, even with a good entertainment program, and you want something original, then a theme party is for you! We offer you the following options.

You can ask everyone to dress in one color scheme, for example, throw a party in white. You can arrange a carnival in beautiful costumes and masks. And you can go even further and choose a specific theme: pirate, cowboy, gangster, retro or any other, within your imagination. Consult with friends, offer them your ideas - there should be no problems with the choice.
Whatever theme you choose, try to make sure that Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden are at the party. They don't have to be wearing traditional outfits, you can dress them up as you like - the main thing is that the symbols of the New Year are at your party.

If you have not yet decided which theme to choose for the New Year's holiday, we suggest that you read the articles and. You might like the ideas for doing them.

invitations

You can invite guests to a Japanese party in person, by phone, or with the help of social networks- it all depends on your relationship with those you invite. However, whichever way you choose to invite, remember:

• Guests must be invited in person no need to transfer invitations through third parties.
• Guests must be invited in advance.. If you invite a person at the last moment, there is a high probability of being refused: he probably has plans that he cannot change for you. In addition, having received an invitation the day before the holiday, he may think that they simply forgot about him (or someone refused, and he is invited "to replace").
• Invite guests around the same time, otherwise potential guests who received the invitation last may be offended.

If you are hosting a masquerade or theme party, consider bright and unusually designed invitations, in which be sure to discuss the theme of the holiday, the time of its holding, as well as the dress code and appropriate accessories. The text of the invitation can be different in style: traditional, official, original or written in comic form- the choice is yours.

Festive table

Decide what you will have: a regular feast or a buffet. Perhaps a barbecue in the yard is supposed. Not only the menu of your holiday depends on this, but also the organization of space. If you are going to invite many guests and have a fun party at home active party Of course, a buffet is more suitable. By refusing to sit at the table, you will free up a lot of space, ladies will have the opportunity to demonstrate beautiful outfits, guests will become more mobile and will be able to communicate more actively. For a buffet table, organize a table with snacks somewhere in the corner of the room, and put clean plates and cutlery nearby. Don't be afraid to use disposable tableware(so you don't have to do unnecessary cleaning on the first of January). Just do not save money - buy not simple white cups and plates, but beautiful festive ones.

Treats

As a rule, when organizing such parties, the table is prepared in a clubbing, that is, each guest brings food with him. Distribute in advance among the guests who will bring what, so that it does not turn out that the entire table will be filled with salad bowls with Olivier. Take charge of preparing a hot meal.

Advice: distribute the main salads and dishes among those guests who will come for sure, and for those invited who can refuse at the last moment, offer to bring cold cuts, sweets, drinks, fruits and other products, without which the main table will not suffer :)

If you decide to have a themed party, don't put all your energy into preparing complex or unusual dishes. Choose 2-3 dishes that are most suitable for the chosen theme (for example, several types of rolls and rice dishes with seafood will be quite enough for a Japanese party), and the main menu may well consist of traditional snacks.

Room preparation

Try to free up as much space as possible in the rooms where the party will take place. provide free place in the hallway for outerwear and guest shoes. Also free up as much space as possible in the kitchen: first for cooking, and then for dirty dishes. If possible, remove all breakable things (vases, figurines, etc.) that guests may accidentally touch. If guests plan to stay with you until the morning, you need to prepare places for overnight stays.

Cleaning of the apartment

best arrange general cleaning apartments in advance, a week or two before the party, and on the eve of the holiday, simply remove unnecessary things from prominent places, wipe the dust and wash the floors. The main thing is to save as much as possible more strength for the party itself.

Room decoration

Much depends on the decoration of the room. A beautifully decorated room sets a certain mood and adjusts to the festive range. Perfect for traditional new Year decoration: tree, flashing garlands, fir branches, bells. Do not forget about snowflakes, which can be very beautiful to decorate the house. On the Internet, you can find many interesting ideas.

Don't forget to decorate the apartment with candles. They will add sophistication and magic to the atmosphere of the house. You can also use aroma oils so that the house is filled with the New Year's smell of pine needles and a festive atmosphere is created.

If you are planning a themed party, think about the appropriate setting. Decorate the apartment in accordance with the chosen theme.

Musical background

Prepare in advance music program, after all, after a dense feast, the guests will probably want to move and dance, and just the background music will not hurt. Focus not only on your taste, but also on the taste of your guests. You can make a playlist of various tracks with your friends and run them non-stop.

If the party is themed, be sure to select the appropriate musical compositions to create the right atmosphere.

Behavior rules

Be sure to think over the rules of behavior in your apartment and notify your guests about them in advance. This primarily concerns smoking: is it possible to smoke in the apartment or only in the kitchen, or in general, you can only smoke on the balcony or on the street. Also, such issues as the possibility of overnight stay in your house, the use of your computer (laptop) can be discussed. Discuss whether you will watch New Year's TV programs or forget about TV that night, otherwise some of the guests will “stick” to the screen and be lost to society.

Ask guests to bring a change of shoes with them. Slippers may not be enough for everyone, and in general, hygiene rules recommend not to wear someone else's shoes.

Of course, to be an organizer and hostess new year party quite difficult, but how nice it is to receive compliments at the end of the party. Remember that you are trying not only for guests, but also for yourself! You, too, will communicate, have fun and enjoy everything that happens. Good luck and good mood!

Aphorisms on the topic:

The guest must behave in such a way that the host feels at home.

Never confuse endurance with hospitality.

Even if my guests can't see the clock, they must read the departure time from my face.

If guests are treated like family members, they don't stay long :).

Throwing a party at home is dangerous: if it turns out to be boring, you are the only one who cannot leave.

Never throw a party where you're the most interesting person.

For a party, the main thing is not what is on the table, but what is on the chairs.

There is nothing more offensive than when you are not invited to a party that you would never go to.

It's always nice not to go where you're expected.

A party is only as boring as its guests are.

For such a holiday, it is important and necessary to acquire good scenario, with which you will not only cheer up, but also not let your friends get bored. The script is designed for small company adults, 10-12 people. If there are still children, you can add a few. A lot also depends on the size of the room in which the event will take place. If space permits, you can equip a small photo zone, which will definitely please your guests. You can also organize a costume party, but it all depends on the desire and imagination.

Nothing better than to spend new year holidays next to your family. But not just lie down on the sofa and watch TV, but celebrate this holiday noisily and cheerfully. Especially if you have small children. Therefore, you need to think in advance about how fun it is to meet New Year at home with family.

Prepare a festive atmosphere among the household

The holiday will be fun and relaxed only if all family members have good mood. And for this to be so, you need to set the right tone for him in advance. And collective preparation for the upcoming event will help in this. Involve everyone and give them assignments to the best of their ability:

1. Together with the children, write a letter to Santa Claus, but do not do it for the child, let him create on his own, but under your clear guidance. Those who do not yet know how to write can express their wishes in the form of pictures.
2. Buying gifts for relatives should also be done jointly, and what can be better hike By shopping malls in this period?
3. For grandparents, make New Year's crafts - a garland, a Christmas tree toy or an angel.
4. Home decoration should be festive and cheerful - a lot of garlands, big tree, a lot of themed toys, painting on the windows.
5. Entrust the children to prepare some dish for the New Year's table.

Table setting is festive and solemn.

Perhaps you will introduce some kind of tradition that will be a joy from year to year, it may be a trip somewhere, or maybe you will collectively cook a New Year's cake according to the same recipe. By the way, the cake is also important in this festival, especially for children. Therefore, if you do not bake it together, take care to buy it in advance or bake it yourself. Next year - fiery rooster, so you can make a cake in the shape of this bird or decorate it with cockerel figurines. And be sure christmas decor- snowball, snowmen, etc.

Games and contests to celebrate the new year

If adults can hold festive table the whole holiday (and even then not always), then this is absolutely not suitable for children. After all, their active nature expects something more noisy and festive. Here's something to think about entertainment program evenings.

You can make the holiday themed - pirate, carnival or masquerade. Make sure you have enough on hand. New Year's tinsel- serpentine, sparklers, firecrackers and small gifts for awarding winners in competitions. By the way, about competitions and entertainment: If you have the financial ability and a free room, you can buy artificial snow and arrange a snow battle there or a collective snowman sculpting.

Collect the snowflake game

It will be no less interesting to play “Collect a Snowflake” - fix the snowflakes cut in advance on a thread under the ceiling at different heights and compete for a while in who cuts or breaks the snowflakes more.

Christmas tree decorating contest

"Decorate the tree." Here you need to prepare a couple of Christmas tree models and appliqués of toys on it, which are attached with double-sided tape. Blindfold the participants and for a while let them hang the toys as beautifully and quickly as possible. And you can not make toys in advance, but draw them for speed, developing on different teams. Or play for more painted Christmas balls.

fairytale game

"Continue the story." The host will begin to tell a fairy tale, and the participants must come up with a continuation of the story, but not like this in the book, but completely different. For example, so that in the "little red riding hood" the hat, and not the wolf, becomes a bad hero.

New Year's guessing game

"Guess what?". IN big box put some object, close it. Participants need to guess what is hidden there, with leading questions about the subject.

new year goal

"My goal". After the chimes have sounded, the whole family needs to draw two of their goals that everyone is going to achieve. On next holiday it will need to be obtained and checked if the participants have achieved their goals.

Competition with balls

"Race on the balls." Here to help you, big dense balls, a couple of obstacles in the form of chairs or stools, fun music and a big clock with a timer.

Pantomime

"Guess who?" Here you need to show facial expressions or gestures distinctive features behavior of someone from the family, or loved one cartoon character or other characters.

Fireworks

And, of course, fireworks. This will be the culmination of the holiday, after which the children will go to bed satisfied and happy. Do not save on this entertainment, because often cheap fireworks can turn out to be fake, and this is already dangerous. Do not forget about safety measures when launching fireworks.

Handing out New Year's gifts

Of course, you have already bought a gift "from Santa Claus", but this is only half the battle, because you need to give it beautifully. For kids, this will not be too difficult. You will need to discreetly put them under a fluffy Christmas tree or dress up dad in that same grandfather and present gifts to the child. But the older the kids, the faster they understand what's what. This is where professional help comes in handy. Order them to come to your house. Children especially like it when they are not only given a gift, but also laugh and have fun. It will cost you a little more than the usual arrival of Santa Claus, but don't your children's happy eyes deserve it!

Game - search for a gift

It will be very interesting to go in search of gifts, especially if you live in your home. Hide gifts in advance, and go looking for them with a flashlight. This trip itself will be joyful for the baby, and when at the end a treasured gift awaits him, even more so. And if you have several older children, draw a map for them and let them search for them using the clues that you leave in right places. Usually such searches are noisy and fun, giving joy to both kids and adults. But do not overdo it and think about the safety of such a trip so as not to end the holiday in the hospital.

New Year's contests

Game - Mandarin

After a new year spent in this way, your children will go to bed happy and contented. And you will be immensely happy for them, and for the fact that you managed to please your loved ones and relatives. With such a plan, you will no longer need to think about how to have fun in the new year at home with your family, but simply bring it to life.

What could be better than celebrating the New Year in family circle, together with loved ones and loved ones? How interesting it is to organize a family New Year's holiday, if the circle of the company gathers couples along with the kids? What games and contests for the New Year is better to choose? If you are puzzling over these questions - do not worry, we will show you a way out of how to have fun celebrating the family New Year and offer New Year's scenario for adults and children.

____________________________

NEW YEAR IN THE FAMILY CIRCLE

Let's think about how and which are better family New Year's contests And family games organize for the New Year. First, you need to take into account the number of participants in the holiday and their age, of course. Secondly, think over the menu of the festive New Year's table suitable for everyone. It’s good if the table setting is appropriate, for example, small children don’t have to watch how adults drink alcohol, so bottles and glasses for alcohol can be “disguised” with the same tinsel. The main thing is not to forget to do the same for children, making juices and compotes even more attractive for them than for adults. You will not have any problems with this at all if you decide to organize a family New Year's holiday in the form of theme party. For example, a New Year's scenario for adults and children based on the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland" (everyone will drink from a tea set, and you yourself will figure out what to pour into the "teapot for adults") or "Treasure Island" (all pirates drink "rum"), etc.

The most important thing for the holiday is family games and competitions for the New Year. For a theme party, it’s easy to come up with them - based on the plot chosen for the script. And if your friendly company does not really like dressing up and reincarnation, then the New Year's scenario for adults and children can be arbitrary, the main thing is that everyone should have fun. It is better to start such entertainment, celebrating the New Year in the family circle, from about 21.00 in the evening in order to meet the New Year in an enthusiastic mood. By midnight, the kids will be tired enough to go to bed right after the chimes and let the grown-ups "have a blast"! And so, the New Year's scenario for adults and children.

NEW YEAR SCENARIO: FAMILY NEW YEAR

To begin with, you can give everyone a piece of paper and a pen so that they describe the most significant event of the outgoing year and their cherished dream for the coming New Year. Little kids can draw this. All leaves are put into a box, which is beautifully decorated with pictures, snowflakes, tinsel, etc. by joint efforts. The box is sealed with tape and set aside until the next New Year to open it in the family circle, read it and fill it with new contents. Children will really like this activity, and it will be interesting for parents to look into it later, remember the family New Year and save children's scribbles for a long memory.

Imagine that there are a lot of guests and you need to organize a family New Year's holiday with games and competitions for everyone. If you are going to, for example, about twenty people, then in advance for the participants of the evening you need to prepare:

• 1. 10 sticks,
• 2. 10 brooms (mini-applications, similar to the emblem of the "broom"),
• 3. 20 homemade envelopes;
• 4. about a hundred snow balls, rolling them out of cotton wool yourself;
• 5. tree-appliqués that play the role of a medal for each victory in the competition;
• 6. air balloons, newspapers, confetti, ice cream, prizes for competitions, etc.

We put sticks and whisks into the prepared envelopes, and put the envelopes themselves into a hat. When the time comes to hold family New Year contests and family games for the New Year, we distribute envelopes to guests. Those who got the wand become members of the "Yolki-sticks" team, others - members of the "Yolki-broom" team (you can dream up names and attributes). Applications indicating belonging to a particular team can be attached to clothes with a pin.

Family competitions for the New Year: "Competition for the best New Year's costume."

Buy in advance in bulk toilet paper, masks, glasses, noses, jewelry, pick up old dresses, scarves, skirts, etc. Next, the teams draw lots for who to prepare which costume. For example, you can guess the costumes of the Snow Maiden, clown, Indian, pirate. Whoever did it better and funnier gets a prize Christmas tree.

Family competitions for the New Year: "Frost breath".

This competition will be more interesting for children. Laid out in a row on the table paper snowflakes. Participants must blow on them so that they fall from the table to the floor. When all the snowflakes fall, we surprise the contestants by saying that the contestant whose snowflake was the last to fall has won. That is, he has the most “frosty breath”, he froze a snowflake to the table.

Song family New Year's competitions: "Song from a hat."

Put small notes in the hat, on which only one word is written, for example: Santa Claus, icicle, frost, Christmas tree, etc. Each member of the teams takes turns taking notes out of the hat and performs a song or a fragment of a song in which the word written in the note occurs in the text - definitely winter or New Year's! Which team will give up first and will not be able to remember the right song - lost.

Family games for the New Year: "Snowball fight".

Hand out snowballs made from cotton wool to the teams. At the command of the leader, as soon as the cheerful music turns on, everyone starts throwing snowballs at each other. When the host turns off the music, the task of the participants is to collect as many snowballs as possible, both their own and their rivals. The team that collects the most snowballs wins a Christmas tree. Don't rush to turn off the music, let adults and children play a little - throwing snowballs is always fun, even if they are not real.

Competition for adults and children: "New Year's competitions - riddles."

The host makes riddles for the teams in turn or simply asks questions on topics related to the New Year. The team with the most correct answers is declared the winner. Riddles and questions can be anything, but preferably fun, and that they are suitable for adults and children, so that it would be interesting for both adults and children to guess them, that is, alternate their complexity and “adulthood”.
: 4 months pregnant, 5 months pregnant, 6 months pregnant

Examples of puzzles for the family New Year:

(ANSWER: Replacing combing with washing)

Can an ostrich call itself a bird?
(ANSWER: no, he can't speak).

Family games for the New Year: Competition "Chain".

All team members play, each becoming in their own chain, alternating "boy" - "girl". Each of the participants takes a match in their teeth. The first is put on a match ring.
