Dry January gains popularity every year, with more and more people kicking off the new year fresh and alcohol-free. For hospitality professionals and event planners, this trend is the perfect opportunity to add a unique twist to the traditional New Year’s toast. Ready to make it unforgettable? Here are our tips for organizing a sparkling celebration your guests will love!
A surprising menu, minimal effort
A successful New Year’s reception begins with an offering that instantly excites your guests. With our online RFP tool, you can showcase your drink selection effortlessly, complete with photos that highlight just how festive and surprising your options are. Think flavorful mocktails, kombucha, sparkling iced teas, and alcohol-free bubbles: alternatives that feel just as special as a glass of champagne!
By offering a wide and diverse selection, you ensure everyone feels welcome, whether they’re skipping alcohol for health reasons, pregnancy, religious beliefs, or just because. This thoughtful touch will leave everyone feeling happy (and fresh) as they head home.
A festive atmosphere, even without alcohol
What truly makes a toast successful isn't just what's being served; it's the atmosphere. Even without alcohol, you can create the perfect festive mood! Focus on creating a warm, welcoming ambiance where your guests feel comfortable. Think cozy lighting, comfortable seating areas, and stylish high tables.
With MICE, you can easily adjust the layout of your venue to set the ideal atmosphere for your reception. Your guests can even personalize the space to create the perfect vibe for their New Year’s celebration.
Multiple New Year's toasts in one day, without stress
Want to host several receptions in one day? No problem! For businesses, the New Year’s toast is the perfect moment to come together, but it needs to fit into their busy schedules. By offering different time slots and spaces, you give your guests the chance to choose, while you can organize multiple receptions throughout the day. With MICE, your planning stays clear and organized. Your guests can easily check available times and spaces through the online request module, avoiding double bookings and miscommunication. This way, everything runs smoothly, even on the busiest days!
