New Year's Parties Kids Can Love, Too!
by The Staff at Allrecipes
There's no such thing as too young or too old when it comes to who
can enjoy a good party -- and the same goes for a New Year's party.
Although it may be tempting to conveniently overlook the kids when
making your New Year's Eve plans, a New Year's party can be really
fun for everyone! If you're craving a little adults-only time, keep
in mind that many children will not be able to stay up until the
clock strikes midnight, so the final few hours of the party may be
the perfect opportunity. Our party-planning experts have come up
with the answer to every parent's dream: Party ideas that are as
exciting and fun for adults as they are for kids.
Pizza Potluck!
Food is always more fun when everybody's involved in making it.
A pizza-making extravaganza is a fantastic way to get everyone to
participate, mingle and have fun. Invite friends and their family
over for the big night and let them know that you'll provide
individual pizza crusts if they'll provide their favorite
pizza toppings! Make sure that somebody brings sauce and cheese
(or you can supply these yourself), but after that, the sky's
the limit! This method of assembling pizza is great because
your guests can be assured that their favorite toppings will
be there, and if they are feeling adventurous they'll pile on
toppings brought by others! You'll find the opportunity to try
combinations you never even thought of, and most importantly,
when everyone makes their own pizza, everyone is happy with their meal!
Plan a Vacation -- At Home!
Does the wintry New Year's Eve always find you daydreaming about
hot sand beneath your toes, swaying palm trees and fancy tropical
drinks? Well, when you can't go to paradise, why not bring
paradise to you?! Send out invites that let your guests know
that this New Year's Eve you're planning on vacationing at
home with cabana drinks and coconut shell bikinis. Dress
the kids up in tropical attire and serve them tropical punch
drinks and anything else from the Tropcial Menu of drinks and foods
that anyone can enjoy.
