From catching up to planning resolutions, spending time with loved ones enhances the season. December 31 is the perfect time to craft a new you for the upcoming year by hitting the reset button. Whether you’re trying to move on from the past or are simply eager to head into 2018, host the best New Year’s Eve party with these tips.
Host your New Year’s Eve party at home
Hosting your fete at home is budget-friendly. While renting a venue for the night may seem like a great idea, it can mean starting 2018 with debt. Take advantage of you space you already have at home.
Make it BYOB
It’s tempting to supply festive beverages for your guests. However, doing so limits your entertaining options while also spiking your New Year’s Eve budget. To keep your party costs low and ensure your guests have their favorite drink for the evening, make it a ‘bring your own beverage’ event. You can supply champagne for the midnight ball drop if it is important to you. Otherwise, stock up on ice, cooler space and cups.
Hook up the speakers
Head into the New Year with the best tunes of the past 12 months. Hook up your smartphone to loud speakers or sync up with a Bluetooth speaker. Be sure to include a mixture of different genres to ensure every musical preference is represented.
Keep the NYC ball drop in the background
With the music blaring, the last thing you want is to keep on the television. However, a lot of people look forward to seeing the December 31st festivities happening in New York. Simply press mute and hide the remote. When midnight is right around the corner, trade in the tunes for some television and watch the ball drop with your loved ones.
Give out party favors
Consider putting together a little gift bag for all your guests to enjoy in 2018. Party favors are an excellent way to thank everyone for coming while also gifting them with something that’ll make their night even more memorable. Something as simple as chocolate kisses for midnight or fortune cookies are delightful options for New Year’s Eve party favors.
End the old and begin anew with tips to make your loved ones feel celebrated.
