Although it seems like the pandemic is coming to a close with daily vaccine rollouts and the administering of booster shots, it became an instinct for everyone to be vigilant on health safety practices. And this comes with considering celebrating New Year's Eve inside the condominium.
No one can deny the stigma that following health protocols tend to be dull and lifeless. Individuals feel like they are being controlled, and no one is invalidating that. But it does not have to be that way!
Here are fun and creative ways how condo-owners can spend New Year's Eve indoors
Have a charcuterie party!
Charcuterie is the art of assembling cold-cut cured meat products pair them with cheeses and fruits. The easiest way to have a successful party is by slicing cheese, meats, and fruits.
Hosting a charcuterie party is so much excitement because it does not have to be fancy, and anyone can pull it off with their own budget. Condo-owners just need to start by having a trusted grocery or supermarket around the area, always secure good deals for the charcuterie board.
This kind of party does not ask for a room makeover because the charcuterie boards are the center visual experience for the guests. Hosts just need to maintain their condo living life the way it is now- cozy and welcoming! Any ready-for-occupancy condos with over-the-top well-designed charcuterie board just beg for good champagne and warm welcomes.
Make colored cocktails!
There's this urge to toast at midnight during the New Year's Eve celebration. And condo-owners would want to prepare something that would make the second extra special!
Hosts can always prepare colored cocktails that are eye-catching and appealing to the guests. With a couple of simple online recipes, condo-owners can create their own signature drink! Hosts can also take advantage of the ingredients they have on hand.
Remember to not overstock the beverage preparation area because it is important to provide enough space for the guests' comfort and ease. New Year's Eve is already a party night, so everything should be easy-going for both hosts and guests!
Dress up!
Fancy threads may not always be on the list for condo-owners, but it does not hurt to try new things! New Year's Eve has always been a dressing-up night, so why not perfect that outfit with accessories!
It is also important to remember that fun costumes are all in the spirit of keeping it light and whimsical. Condo-owners can share this idea with their friends who visit their condo as well. In a way, they can contribute without breaking their bank accounts. They just need to set boundaries on how far they want to go with the concept.
Some ideas can be as simple as an all onesies party or as elegant as a black and white formal party. Condo-owners can go as creative as an 80's retro bar. Whatever it is, it is always for a great time!
Host a movie marathon!
Condo-owners can always have their own private New Year's Eve movie marathon as long as TV and computer/laptop are inside their condo unit. Condo-owners no longer have to buy food or set up their room for a movie marathon party! Their ready-for-occupancy condo is already ready for guests.
Finding the right movie can be stressful, especially if hosts want all guests to enjoy the night. But it doesn't mean that hosts can't have their own ideas. They can simply go more low-key and choose their favorite TV show or movies. Ask friends into indie movies and surprise guests with movies that they have not heard of before.
Hosts can also choose movies that would start the year off right. Here are some movie examples that condo-owners can use during their movie marathon night with their guests: A Time to Kill, Kramer vs. Kramer, Wind River, and Glory Road. Not only will these movies give a great start to the year, they are also the kind of movies that can get people talking and sharing their own views after the show. These stories are timeless and can be revisited every single year! It is also a good way to test if neighborhood guests whom you do not know well enough love being social or if they really prefer to keep it simple. And with this idea, hosts can have an idea on how far they want their condo unit parties to go!
Of course, hosts can always do the screening of their favorite movies too. A movie marathon party is a fun way to start 2022!
Play Games!
Having fun activities inside the condominium, especially when the family all gathers will surely help you bond and get closer as a unit. Condo-owners can plan this party just like how they do for their annual family gatherings.
Hosts can divide the activities according to the room you are going to use, such as a mini-golf set-up for the living room, board games for the bedrooms, and fun games for the kitchen. Once again, there is no need to transform the rent-to-own condo into a movie set or theme party!
If owners are worried about the condo living space, you can always have a spotty game party where guests will have to move around and get out of their comfort zones. This is a great way to get to know neighbors who do not really socialize on the condo elevator!
Make a New Year's bucket list!
Hosts can turn this New Year's Eve into the best one yet by proposing a fun bucket list for their guests! Ask each guest for their personal New Year's resolutions or bucket list and let them share these with the group. If guests are holding back, invite them to speak up because everyone should appreciate personal goals in life.
These are just 6 ideas on how condo-owners can celebrate New Year's Eve. Always remember that condo living does not mean giving up on fun and entertainment. Condo living space is a home for the whole family so let's start the year off right by creating good memories together!
