New Year's Eve Party Tips

New Year's Day is the time for resolutions, renewal, and reflection. New Year's Eve is the time to send off the year with a great party. New Year's Eve parties are a great opportunity to gather friends and family to finish the year in extravagant style. Here are some must-haves and tips to make sure your New Year's Eve party is what everyone is talking about all year long.

Feeding the Party

It's no secret that at any event, attendees want to know if there will be food and what kind, because everyone has different preferences and dietary needs. Depending on the number of guests you invite, this makes serving one single dish implausible. The best option to keep your guests happy is to set the meal buffet style. Lots of options in a buffet make sure that everyone has something they can eat, and the buffet-style eliminates any worry of food getting cold before someone can be served. Another good practice to keep your guests well-fed and happy, is to have several hors d'oeuvres around at all times. When your party is lasting late into the night, your guests will be ecstatic to see many light appetizers around to keep everyone going. 

Decorations to Impress

Decorations can make or break a party because they set the atmosphere for your guests. The best way to make sure your decorations are engaging and set the right mood for the party is to have a theme. A theme gives your guests expectations for what the party will be like, and when those expectations are met, your guests are going to have a better time. Even a theme as simple as "The Roaring '20s," or "Movie Stars" can help your guests have the best time because the mood is just right. Decoration ideas will depend on your theme, but there are many good places to start. Investing in more intimate candle lighting, or sleek ribbons around the room, can all work to create the atmosphere you want.

Be Entertaining

Even if the food and the decorations are great, your guests won't have a good time if the party isn't fun. There are many ways to spice up a party, it all depends on what your guests like. Making the right playlist of music for your guests can ensure that there are no awkward silences and your guests can even dance if they feel like it. For your more tame guests, your entertainment may be telling stories from the past year or playing party games.  Regardless of your choice of entertainment, it's always best to have a plan because nothing says unprepared more than a host asking everyone what they want to do.
