With glamour, sparkle and a little bit of mystery, mask celebrations are the perfect means to ensure a special, merriment-filled New Year’s Eve. Good dreamings are made of these! With walkmans in hand, jive with while you pop the champagne at a New Year’s ’80s Retro Party.
Even pro party planners need to stick to a budget from time to time. Spare big bucks by following our New Years Eve party ideas. Gather all silver, crystal and clear ornamental bulbs and set them in a big crystal or silver bowl with the tops down so you can’t see the hangers. Utilize this shiny bowl as a centerpiece for your New Year’s party. The most efficient way to create an fine atmosphere is to lower the lights. Buy a big bag of tea light candles. Then, disperse them down the middle of your food table, around picture frames on your mantle, and in bathrooms to give your party a soft glow. Lighting is everything when it comes to setting the party’s mood, and candlight will do wonders for less than $5.
New Year’s wouldn’t be complete with noisemakers! Tradition holds that making lots of noise at midnight will deflect ugly spirits from entering the New Year. Pick up enough party blowers and noisemakers or try the old-fashioned waybang pots and pans with your guests! We all know how important that first kiss at midnight is, especially so for partners and significant others. That first kiss ensures intimacy and a close relationship throughout the New Year. Pucker up with a special new lip gloss! Finally, when designing your dinner menu, focus on pork. Since pigs eat their food moving forward, delighting pork on New Year’s will assure the year ahead will be bountiful.
