My party-planning checklist typically looks a little something like this:
- Send out a Facebook invite to spread the word.
- Make a bumpin' playlist with the perfect mix of current and throwback jams.
- Stock up on drinks.
- Stock up on plenty of snacks for when said drinks hit.
- Decorate the space with corny ornamentations.
But now, I have a very vital addition for my checklist: order a Nipyata [1] online in advance. "A what?" you ask? A Nipyata, which is essentially a piñata filled with booze [2]. These adult-approved contraptions look like regular ol' piñatas at first glance: they're colorful, come in fun shapes, and are covered with tiny scraps of paper. But once you give 'em a few hard whacks, out comes a flurry of mini liquor bottles and candies to chase away that strong taste. Sounds pretty heavenly, right?
You can order premade Nipyatas online [3] for doorstep delivery, or you can customize your own — straight down to shape and type of liquor stuffed inside — if you have a specific party theme or alcohol preferences in mind. Consider me sold. Ahead, shop a handful of Nipyatas that are currently in stock online, and then keep reading to see photos snapped by satisfied customers. Dibs on that pizza-shaped one!
