Planning Your Millennium Party

We only get to celebrate this one, so why not pull out all the stops and have a grand party? The key for this theme is glitz. Everything must shine. You whole party can be based on the elements of time as many other new year's eve bashes tend to be. But, this special element features the calendar as well as the clock.

Your decorations are going to be of the silver and gold variety. Everything from streamers to balloon comes in these shiny colors. There are a larger number of party goods available for this event since we are entering the new millennium. Anything that is designed for the new year, the new century or the new millennium will work for this once in your lifetime event.

The use of timepieces of every sort is still a wonderful decoration. Clocks, watches, sundials, and calendars everywhere adds the feeling of urgency and excitement to the whole affair. The number 2000 will be prominent in your décor.

Follow through with shiny elegance on hats and favors sticking to gold and silver for the usual crowns and tiaras. Or you can welcome in the new millenium with lots of richness of color in those superb blues, rich fuchsias, and emerald greens of the new years eve caliber that usually grace those paper products. Follow through whichever way you go with the serving pieces, and paper goods for the table. Whatever choice you make be sure the look contains lots of shimmer, shine, glitter and glitz.

Activities and menus will be based on the type of party you are having along with age of guests. If it is a cocktail party, food might be limited to snacks and finger foods. If the party is going to go on for hours into the first New Year's day, plan on serving breakfast foods and lots of coffee before drinking guests depart. If this party will have whole families for guests vary activities for age groups. Lots of simply good party food. Whatever type party you decide upon, the focus should be on a TV to watch the ball fall at midnight. Make sure your noisemakers are given out just before the bewitching hour so they are not worn out by the big moment. Plan a balloon drop from the ceiling or let balloons go at the stroke of midnight. Balloons with tags to fill out and return as to where they have traveled to would be fun. Be prepared for lots of hugging and kissing as the ball drops and plan on spending part of your party time circulating to congratulate as many guests as possible.
