Say good-bye to 2008 and 2009 in style, with one of these unique 2009 New Year’s Eve party themes. There will be no cowboy hats or Mardi Gras beads in sight.

Top 10 Themes for a New Year’s Eve Party

2009 New Year’s Eve Party:

Roaring 20’s, Pre-Depression

In the midst of tough economic times, let people forget their troubles with a Roaring 20’s New Year’s Eve 2009 Party. When you send the invitations, invite them to your private speak easy and provide a password that they need to use to enter the party. Request that they put on a 1920’s style outfit. Suits and hats for men should be included. Play the soundtrack to Chicago and decorate the house with items that suggest excess: fake jewels on the lampshades, monopoly money on the tables, and sequins on the floor.

Family Friendly Party

People with kids who want to spend New Year’s Eve with their families may have to decide between going to an adult New Year’s Eve Party or staying home. Make it an easy decision for them and host a family-friendly theme party. Make healthy finger foods that everyone will enjoy and ask each guest to bring one dessert.

Play games that all people will enjoy and set up your own ball drop, planned for a 9:00 p.m. countdown.

Multimedia Swap Theme

Invite your friends to bring their DVDs, CDs or video games for a New Year’s Eve swap party. This works well for video games, especially once they games have been beaten and the family has lost interest. You may make a good trade, and get more back for your swap than you would if you sold the used game back to a video game store.

2009 New Year’s Eve Party:

Movie Theme

Get a jump on the Oscars as your movie-loving friends bring one item to the party which represents their favorite movie of 2008. The fun really begins when guests try to figure out each other’s favorite movies. Complete the theme by serving popcorn and snacks in popcorn boxes. Tip: decorate brown or white, paper lunch bags to look like movie theater boxes. Cut the tops into zigzagged ridges. Add some vertical red stripes to the bag.

Send out movie ticket-inspired New Year’s Eve party invitations. Purchase snack-size chocolate bars and small boxes of candy to put on side tables and on a buffet table, with other food.

White Party

Big in warm cultures and celebrity circles, a white party requires all guests to wear white, all white. If this seems impractical to you, pick another color. Use decorations to match your theme color and serve foods which go with your color. This will be easier with certain colors including green, white, yellow or red.

Elegant Masquerade Ball

Invite guests to wear masks and dress for the occasion. Serve a formal, sit-down dinner. This 2008 New Year’s Eve party idea is best for a small group of guests.

Resolution Kick Start

Help your guests kick start their New Year’s Resolutions by having a New Year’s Resolution Party. Get a jump on some of the most popular resolutions by offering guests healthy food and alcohol-free drinks. Go the extra mile and plan an outdoor or active event, whether it’s a night time hike at a local nature sanctuary which is open on the holiday, or a night of ice skating. Or go for a walk in the snow, or go sledding, if weather permits.

Sex and the City

Have all-female 2009 New Year’s Eve Party. Each guest can dress up in fancy clothes and her favorite heels. Serve Cosmos and catch up on all the gossip you may have missed during the past few months.

Guy’s Night Out

This works best if you know someone having an all-female party. Give the guys a night out, when one of them hosts an all-guy party. Play poker, or whatever it is you guys do. Don’t worry gals, they’ll be home by midnight for their New Year’s Eve kiss.

2009 New Year’s Eve Party

Breakfast Party

Start your party around 11:30 at night. Serve up breakfast at midnight, with homemade pancakes, honey, homemade apple butter, eggs, sausage and bacon. Serve decaffeinated coffees, teas and juices. Don’t forget the muffins, toast and scones. This is a good alternative when guests you want to invite have family obligations for earlier in the night.
