Futuristic Neon
This New Year’s Eve, step into the future with a Neon Glow Bash! Dance under neon lights, sip on glowing cocktails, and countdown to midnight in a party like no other. Dress in your brightest neon and light up the night. Glow-in-the-dark accessories like bracelets, necklaces, or face paint are a fun way to amplify your look.
Top tip: To truly stand out under the blacklights, wear white or neon-bright colours. These fabrics will glow like crazy!
All That Glitters
An oldie but a goodie. An easy win: invite your guests to sparkle the night away. Shine on in your home-made disco. Sequins, glitter, shimmer disc, lasers and a smoke machine will make your guests lose themselves on the dancefloor.
Top Tip: Disco Ball – essential.
Roaring ’20s – Great Gatsby Vibes
failsafe theme to encourage glamour and debauchery in equal measure. The costumes are gorgeous and easy to come by, the evening will be suave and sophisticated – but be sure to get the music right – it will set your Gatsby scene. It’s roaring twenties, people.
Top Tip: Invent your cocktail and serve it in proper martini glasses.
Apre-Ski Chic
Think Alpine lodge meets runway: faux fur throws, mulled wine, fondue stations and twinkling fairy lights. Encourage guests to wear cable knits and sequins together for a playful contrast. Cosy luxury that still feels festive and modern.
Tropical Carnival
Grass skirts, Hawaiian shirts and garlands. Drinks in pineapples, a steamy venue to mimic the humid climate and a motherload of palm trees. A tropical party is a fun theme. And the playlist is even better.
Top Tip: Play Club Tropicana every hour until it becomes surreal.
The Best of the Year
Come as your favorite icon or most memorable moment of the year. Expect a few Trumps, too many Boris’s – and some Beyoncés of course.
Top Tip: A decent soundtrack and awareness of current affairs is crucial for this party.
Old Skool Rave
Some will get down with this theme more than others. Your Aunty Joyce may have sidestepped the 90s rave era and will probably prefer to celebrate at a Gatsby-era bash. But if you remember the golden days of raving with misty-eyed euphoria, then this party is for you. Install a UV and a strobe. Buy a load of glow sticks and some white gloves. Hire a decent sound system and prepare your DJs.
Top Tip: Don’t leave the dancefloor.
Midnight Masquerade
Classical elegance meets mystery. Encourage masks and rich jewel palettes for complete luxury. Light the space with candles and prepare for a dramatic unmasking at midnight.

The Year of Your Birth
This theme is inventive, and challenging and demands a bit of prep from your attendees. The idea is to dress as the song or the artist that was top of the charts the year you were born. People can choose from the Billboard Top 100 or UK Number One – whichever they fancy.
Alter Egos
You’ll get to know your friends in a whole new way when you ask them to come not only dressed as their alter ego but also in full character too. This theme is totally immersive and you’ll find some secret talents, acting skills and a lot more lies beneath the friends you thought you know so well. You’ll have so much fun getting to know these new people.
Top Tip: Tell your guests to bring a prop to help you get to know their alter ego.
