I’m hosting a New Years Eve party and I’m really looking forward to it.
If you are, shall we chat about it?

Oops I forgot this is mn where people don’t answer the door let alone throw a party😀
Im doing a 1970s themed party (optional fancy dress) volovants, cheese and pineapple hedgehog, devilled eggs and a glass of cream sherry or babysham (other drinks will be available 😀)
I have a retro maxi dress and I’ve been Googling 70s make up, looks like blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick were all the rage😀
Should be around 25 people mix of family and friends.
I’m working till 3 so beginning to slightly panic about the prep!

Fantastic! I love this. I was in marks and spencer tonight and looked at a few clothes because of the sales. They had some amazing 70s sequinned pants and tops, dresses etc. I was so tempted but I’m an old lady so I feel I can’t do it. But they were so sparkly and fun. In fact I’ll have another look tomorrow and see what the prices are in case I can justify buying for one wear.

it sounds like you have everything sorted for your party already op. And yes please play Demis Roussos. Forever and Ever

Will you be playing a bit of Demis Roussos OP? 😛
Seriously though, good for you, it sounds fun!

Thank you for all your lovely comments and replies.
I have Demis Roussos on the playlist and will be channeling my inner Beverly😀
I hope you all have a great New Year.🎉

I'm not having a party, OP. I've got a gorgeous evening planned with DH & the youngest. Hope the MN party hosts have a lovely time tonight. Happy New Year to all.

Your 70's theme sounds ace btw.
