80s Party: Retro Mood to Kick Off the Year!

If you’re thinking of a fun and nostalgic celebration, the ‘80s’ party is the ideal theme for a New Year’s Eve full of colour and energy! With this theme, you’ll add a vintage and lively touch to your evening, transporting guests to the era of iconic hits and edgy style.

 

Decorations:

Go for neon balloons, coloured LED lights and even vinyl records to decorate the tables and walls. Create a space full of vibrant colours like pink, blue, purple and neon green. Add details in geometric or zebra patterns to capture the spirit of the 80s.

Food and Drink:

Opt for fun snacks and sweets, such as colourful jelly beans and mini hamburgers, to recall the classic snacks of this decade. For drinks, it offers vibrantly coloured cocktails with coloured ice and vintage soft drinks. 

Look:

For a truly 80s look, women can go for shoulder pads, colourful leggings, sequins and hair accessories such as ribbons and bows. For men, vintage T-shirts, faded jeans and colourful blazers are a good option.

Activities:

Create a playlist of 80s hits to make sure everyone dances the night away. Organise a dance contest or karaoke to remember the hits of the era, and include a photobooth with retro accessories such as large sunglasses, hair ribbons and colourful hats for everyone to take fun photos.

 

Hollywood Glamour Party: The Night of Stars

For those who love glitter and want a celebration worthy of the red carpets, the ‘Hollywood Glamour’ theme is the ideal choice. This party is inspired by the glamour of Hollywood’s golden years, where every detail radiates sophistication.

 

Decor:

For your starry night, use a palette of black, gold and silver. Invest in satin tablecloths and napkins, candles in tall candlesticks, and add an extra touch with gold and silver details. Add soft lights for an elegant glow and decorations of stars and gold ribbons. 

Food and drink:

Serve elegant dishes such as gourmet canapés, mini burgers and mini desserts. For drinks, champagne and cocktails with fresh fruit and rose petals bring the sophistication the theme calls for. 

Look:

This theme calls for total glamour! For women, shiny dresses, metallic colours and accessories are perfect. For men, a dinner jacket or elegant dark suit is the right choice.

Activities:

Create a photobooth with cinema-themed signs, balloons and gold confetti. You could even reward guests with the ‘best look of the night’ for even more fun. Includes a playlist with famous film soundtracks to get in the mood.

 

‘Masquerade Ball: Mystery and Elegance for New Year’s Eve

For a different kind of celebration, a ‘Masquerade Ball’ is the ideal choice. Inspired by traditional balls, this theme brings elegance and a touch of mystery to New Year’s Eve.

 

Decor:

Opt for a sophisticated decor with shades of red, black and gold. Use tall candles, vases with red and gold flowers and heavy curtains to give the room an air of mystery. Scatter feathers and pearls around the table to complete the look. 

Food and drink:

A masquerade party deserves a selection of exquisite dishes. Include cheeses, wines, seafood and French-inspired dishes. For dessert, it offers sweets such as macaroons and chocolates. It serves champagne and quality red wines, available at Continente, to add a special touch to the event.

Look:

For women, long dresses and elegant accessories are the right choice. For men, a dark suit with a mask gives the classic and mysterious touch that the theme demands. 

Activities:

Create a voting system to choose the best mask. Make a playlist with classical and jazz music to keep the atmosphere sophisticated. Also include a small competition for the ‘most original look’ to make the party more interactive.
