So, you’ve decided to host New Year’s Eve this year. Whether you’re going all out or keeping it small, make sure to give your guests an experience they won’t forget (at least maybe until the next morning). Here are some party ideas to make the countdown to midnight even more exciting.
Play New Year’s Eve Bingo
Kick off the evening with a friendly game of bingo. Of course, this version has a New Year twist. The Big Dot of Happiness Hello New Year Bingo comes with markers and cards. Be sure to have some small prizes to hand out to the winners as well! Get it at Michaels for $15.99 and earn 5% cash back.
Go Fancy with a Cuisinart Electric Fondue Set
Forget the cheese and crackers and shake things up with this Cuisinart Electric Fondue Set, which includes eight color-coded stainless steel forks. Just get your favorite Swiss cheese and fondue recipe and you’re all set. Find the Cuisinart Electric Fondue Set at Sur La Table for $79.95 and score 4.04% cash back.
Get Festive with these Assorted Glitter Top Hats
It’s not a New Year’s Eve party without the obligatory headwear, and these Assorted Glitter Top Hats will definitely make for the perfect photo op. Order the 12-pack for $19.95 from Windy City Novelties and get 8.08% cash back.
Deck Your Home with Gold Confetti Balloons
Set the mood with these Gold Confetti Balloons. After all, what’s a New Year’s Eve bash without a little flair? Get a 12-pack from Michaels for $17.99 and snag 5% cash back.
Belt it Out with a BONAOK Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone
Your guests can show off their vocal skills (perhaps after they’ve had a few drinks) with this Bluetooth karaoke microphone, which also has a built-in speaker. All you need to do is connect it to your smartphone and you’re good to go. The microphone can also adjust to different modes and volume settings. Get it at Walmart for just $24.99 and nab up to 3% cash back.
Drink Champagne in these Rose Gold Plastic Flutes
If you don’t want to use glassware, these glittery Rose Gold Plastic Champagne Flutes by Chateau Fine Tableware are a great substitute. Perfect for serving bubbly or your preferred beverage, it will definitely add some elegance to your party. Order from Macy’s for $25.99 and get up to 5% cash back.
Get Naughty with Taboo Uncensored Party Game for Adults
If you’re throwing a grownups-only party, this more mature version of Taboo puts a cheeky spin on the classic board game. Prepare to utter things you never thought you’d be saying out loud (or at least in front of people). If this version is too saucy for you, then just stick to the original Taboo.
And if you’re not a fan of Taboo, then this Reverse Charades Game (which has the entire team acting out the words for one person) is another great option. Get both at Walmart and enjoy up to 3% cash back.
Host a Murder Mystery Game Night
Dim the lights and let your guests try and figure out who among you is a cold-blooded killer in a game of Dead Below Deck. The immersive murder mystery game involves a murder aboard a luxury yacht—and everyone is a suspect. Order the game at Hunt a Killer for $31.99 and snag 10.1% cash back.
Keep the Memories Alive with an 80s-Themed Photo Booth
Bring back the decade of big hair and neon with these ‘80s photo booth props. The 26-pack includes everything from retro sunglasses, cassettes and a giant mobile phone just like the one Zack Morris had from “Saved by the Bell.” Add a Pink Fringe Backdrop to make things even more festive.
Get it all at Michaels and earn 5% cash back.
Be Sure to Have a Polaroid Camera Handy
Whether you’re planning to have a photo booth or just want to snap some instantly printable photos for guests to take home, this Polaroid Go Generation 2 instant camera will capture it all. The camera bundle includes film, a wrist strap and charging cable, a selfie mirror and selfie timer. Grab it at Target for $119.99 and get 2% cash back.
Make Some Noise with Champagne Bottle Confetti Poppers
Once the ball drops, you know what to do. These confetti party poppers are just what you need to ring in the new year properly. Plus, you’re probably a lot warmer than all those people out celebrating in Times Square. Get a pack at Windy City Novelties for $18.95 and score 8.08% cash back.
