But this is one holiday that is about more than partying. You might want to even know a little history about some of our standard New Years traditions. This can be great trivia and ice breaker information for your event. For example, you might share with your guests the history of the New Year resolution. Most people mistakenly believe this tradition is fairly modern. The truth is it started almost 4,000 years ago in Babylon. Of course, losing weight and quitting smoking were probably not high on their resolution lists. There are no records though about what percentage of Babylonians actually kept their resolutions throughout the year. Hopefully, their odds were better than ours.
Something else you might want to keep in mind when trying to decide on New Year's Eve party invitations is why people choose to celebrate the holidays with friends and family in the first place. It has to do with good luck. The story is that on New Years the first person you see can determine your luck for the next year. With a party of people you like, that person is more likely going to bring you good not bad luck.
You might also wonder why some New Year invitations have babies on them. Well, that's also an ancient symbol that started in Greece and ancient Egypt. In both cases, the babies were considered symbols of fertility and rebirth - important aspects of spring that was when most of these celebrations took place. For centuries, the Catholic Church forbade the use of the symbol and only relented when it was agreed the baby would represent Jesus.
