2017 is coming to an end. You've worked hard this year and spent a lot of time looking after your outdoor area. And now it's time to ring in the new year celebrating your achievements in your own backyard with your friends and family! Here are 4 cool backyard new year's eve party ideas and a few recipes to help you put on a fun and family friendly new year's eve party...
Soul Train Sizzle
Soul Train is an American music-dance television program from the 1970's.It ran for an unbelieveable 35 years! The show fused music, dance and fashion. DJs would play jazz, disco, R&B, soul, dance/pop and more while couples pulled some funky moves down the catwalk.
Have a Soul Train Sizzle themed New Year's Eve party with a 70s dress code and funky disco tunes! Decorate your outdoor area with disco balls and lights. Scatter orange, green or pattern cushions, pillows or bean bags for seats. Keep it simple with snags and rolls as dinner. Check out these 70s inspired drinks recipes.

Mexican Meat Fiesta
This theme needs very little to succeed - tunes, Tequila and a Piñata. Decorate your outdoor area with colourful bunting, bulb lights and paper flowers or lanterns. Buy a couple or large Mexican hats and stick on moustaches for people to dress up in when they arrive. Of course you can encourage your guests to dress up in full costume if they want to! Whip up some Margaritas and Sangria before your guests arrive. Here are some Mexican BBQ Recipes too.
Baywatch Beach BBQ
This is pretty much a beach/tropical themed but with a Baywatch twist. Invite your friends and family to dress up in red and yellow like the Baywatch team. Decor is easy with coloured lanterns, umbrellas and blow up pool toys. Go the extra mile and create a Tiki Bar. Grub can be whatever you feel like whipping up for your guests.
