1. Add A Countdown Clock

Harness the excitement by setting up a countdown clock on your website or at the actual event that counts down the to your party and to the New Year. Sure, people know the 2014 is close but actually showing them creates a sense of urgency and anticipation attendees will love.

2. Create An Event Page

Your event is only as legitimate as you make it look to your attendees!

3. Have Your Own Signature Cocktails

A signature element of any kind is key to making your event stand out and signature cocktails are perfect for the New Year's theme. Of course there will be plenty of bubbly flowing but signature cocktails add a unique and creative touch to distinguish your bash. This also gives you a chance to try out a bunch of different mixes and justifying it by saying you’re "working". Regardless of the signature cocktail you feature, be sure to include an appropriate amount of wine, beer and, of course, champagne.

4. Offer Guest Perks

Check-In Specials Let your guest advertise for you! We all know the power of social media and there is only so much you can do through your own social media sites. By having your guests "check-in" it gives your event more online visibility and exposes it to a highly targeted audience: the friends of people already going to the event. Early Bird Specials Everybody loves a good deal! Apart from offering your guests an incentive, Early Bird Specials will also give you a better sense of what to expect for your event. It’s a great opportunity to make any last-minute changes to accommodate more attendees before it’s too late.

 5. Add A Theme

While themed parties might seem like a bit of a gimmick, having a great theme can help make a party more popular and, most importantly, give it an extra "flavor" other events won't have. photo credit: x-ray delta one via photopin cc photo credit: peddhapati via photopin cc photo credit: ginnerobot via photopin cc photo credit: stevendepolo via photopin cc photo credit: marfis75 via photopin cc]]]]> ]]>
