How to choose a New Year's party scenario with friends

The celebration of the New Year can take place in a narrow circle, among the closest people, or it can be celebrated widely. Accordingly, for each case you will need your own New Year scenario at the dacha or in the apartment.

Easy scenario for the New Year for a large company

The following memo will help the organizer of the celebration for a large number of people:
  • for «miscellaneous» company it is best to make a buffet, with the presence of vegetarian dishes;
  • you don't need to invite acquaintances who don't get along with each other, otherwise the holiday will be spoiled for everyone;
  • many guests will stay until the morning or evening January 1, so you need to take care of the sleeping places, or warn those who came to take sleeping bags with them (by the way, the idea of «New Year's camp» can serve as the basis for the scenario);
  • think over an easy scenario for the New Year, understandable to all guests, not just the closest friends.

A large company, up to 20 people, can play «New Year's mafia». The rules of the game are the same as in the classic version, but to maintain the festive atmosphere, it is better to rename the main characters from «mafiosi» to Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, and the murder of citizens – to give a gift (those who «give a gift» are eliminated from the game, and the rest guess their Santa Claus and Snow Maiden).

The New Year's scenario at the dacha can be diversified with the most relevant winter fun – snowballs. It's hard to think of easier and more fun entertainment, the main thing is to warn guests in advance about warm and comfortable clothes suitable for active entertainment. Another, «peaceful» option is to make snowmen, if the weather has given enough snow. In both games, you can divide into teams and arrange a small competition.


To optimize the difficult work of the organizer, it is worth using online services for planning a holiday. With their help, it is much easier to embody any New Year's scenario in the circle of friends, create beautiful invitations, lists of desired and unwanted gifts and much more. 

New Year's scenario at a country house or in an apartment for a small company

If it is decided to celebrate the holiday «without strangers», and the company was formed on the basis of a single interest (sports, music, cinema), then it can serve as an idea for a easy scenario for the New Year.

Many people will like the sweet and cozy idea of arranging «Secret Santa». The game is borrowed from the Western tradition and is perfect for a small company where everyone knows each other well. The point is that beforehand everyone draws lots with the name of a friend and gives him a gift on the festive evening, and the recipient must guess who was his «Santa».

New Year's Scenarios at the dacha simply cannot be complete without active outdoor games. The winter fun described above is also suitable for a small company.

You can arrange a contest among friends: everyone in turn calls a song about the New Year, winter or snow (name, line, or better – sings a small part). The one who thinks for more than 10 seconds is eliminated, and the turn goes to the next participant. To the winner - a small prize. If music is not a strong point of the company's members, then a similar contest should be included in an easy scenario for the New Year, but on a different topic, for example, movies about a holiday or winter time, books and so on. 

There are a lot of options for an interesting New Year's scenario in the circle of friends, so it's better to start preparing in advance, thinking over every idea that comes to mind.
