Around the world Party

[ashleybea]

So every year I have NYE at my house. And I always have a theme. This year traveling is really big with my friends and I. We are all planning on traveling with-in the next year so I wanted the theme to be of where we are going.
I am going to England/Scotland, and the others are going to Ireland, France, and Italy.
I was just wondering if anybody had any good ideas for this party. I need some decorating advice and some food advice too. Any and all ideas are appreciated!
Thanks

That is such a great idea for a party!

Maybe you can have a wine/liquor, cheese and dessert station for each country.:

Ireland: Mead (honey wine)
Italy: Italian wine, antipasta, cannoli
England: Hot toddy, scones, plum pudding
Scotland: Shortbread, tea

You could have a map of the world cake made by a baker.

Decorate each table in the colors of the country's flag along with a centerpiece that fits each country. Cutout shamrocks for Ireland, etc.

Maybe a bagpiper can come and play at midnight? I had a friend who did that every year at her New Year's Eve party. It was very cool.

I have to say I really like a lot of the previous poster's ideas, I think you and your friends will have so much fun! Good luck!

During your party, whenever it is midnight in some other area (London, Mexico City, Toronto, Belize, etc.) celebrate New Year's for that area and have countdowns and all.

these are such great ideas! I will defiantly be using them. Thanks. I have to go to the party store (thursday). I hope all of this snow is gone by then.
