Non Alcoholic New Years Eve Party Planning
For many people New Years Eve and alcohol are synonymous. Many
people simply cannot image a New Years Eve party without alcohol but
each year many people opt to host a non alcoholic New Years Eve party.
There are number of reasons why an individual or group might decide to
host a non alcoholic New Years Eve party. These reasons might include a
large number of minors at the party, religious preferences, previous
tragedies involving alcohol or simply lifestyle preferences. Whatever
the reason for hosting a non alcoholic New Years Eve party, it is
important to plan your party carefully to ensure it is a great deal of
fun for everyone who attends.
If you plan on hosting a non alcoholic New Years Eve party you
should make it clear from the early stages that the event will not
include alcohol. One way to do this is to include a statement on the
invitation specifying that alcohol will not be made available during the
party and that you would appreciate it if guests do not bring their own
alcohol. Additionally, you may include a statement specifying the
reason why the even is non alcoholic but you are not obligated to do so.
In the case of parties involving minors it may seem redundant to
specifically state there will be no alcohol at the party but it is not
exactly an unnecessary step. Although minors are not permitted to drink,
unfortunately many of them find ways to sneak alcohol into parties.
Furthermore some parents even permit this outrageous behavior. Including
a statement specifying the New Years Eve party will help to reassure
the other guests and their parents that alcohol consumption will not be
allowed or tolerated.
When planning a non alcoholic New Years Eve party, you still
have to worry about the type of beverages you will serve to your guests.
It is not reasonable to expect your guests to not drink any beverages
during the evening so you should provide a wide variety of non alcoholic
beverages for their consumption during the party. Some beverage ideas
include sodas, water and juices. Additionally, you might want to
consider serving drinks known as mocktails. These drinks can be made in a
variety of styles, colors and flavors and are essentially non alcoholic
versions of popular cocktails such as martinis, pina coladas and
margaritas.
Although the beverages choices as a non alcoholic New Years Eve
party may be one of the most important planning issues the host has to
take care of it is certainly not the only party planning issue the host
faces. It is important to note other items such as food and
entertainment will also have to be addressed.
Regardless of the type of beverages you are offering to your
guests, you will also have to plan on serving them some type of food as
well during your New Years Eve party. Although this is true of any
party, it is especially important to consider for a New Years Eve party
because these parties typically last significantly longer than other
types of parties. Popular food options for a New Years Eve party include
serving a sit down dinner, offer a dinner buffet which is open
throughout the night or simply offering appetizers and sandwiches
throughout the evening. Still another option is to offer a breakfast
buffet in the early morning for the guests.
Entertainment is another factor to consider when planning a non
alcoholic New Years Eve party. Music is one of the traditional
entertainment elements often used for this type of party. Whether you
hire a band, hire a DJ or play your own music, including music and a
place for guests to dance is an excellent entertainment idea. You might
also consider hiring a comedian to do a short performance or a group of
actors to put on a show to entertain your guests.
