Whether you go out to a fancy restaurant or spend the evening at home with friends, either way, it’s worth making it a night to remember.
Do your children have to be in bed early or do you simply prefer not to spend a fortune in overpriced restaurants or bars? With a little planning, you can turn this into the best New Year’s Eve ever. Some suggestions for a successful home party :
1. Spend the evening in style!
Whether you choose to stay in or go out, it’s the biggest night of the year, so make sure you look stunning!
Wear your most sparkly and glamorous outfit or buy yourself something new (any excuse will do)!
2. Delegate & relax
As a hostess you want everything to be perfect, but it is also important that you enjoy yourself and don’t spend the entire evening in the kitchen.
Why not split up the chores and ask your friends to prepare the snacks or dessert? It will give you the opportunity to chat with your guests and above all … to not stress out.
3. Prepare your playlist
Skip the traditional Wham! and Mariah Carey songs and go for a fine playlist that all of your guests will appreciate.
Okay, a few classics can never hurt but try not to exaggerate. After dinner you can switch to somewhat late-night party music to get those feet moving.
4. Drinks on wheels

When the clock strikes midnight, it is time to toast to the New Year.
You can install a home bar in your living room and boost it with some fancy glasses and beautiful wine coolers. We really love the whole concept and it will avoid you pouring drinks for your friends all night.
5. Smile!
A photo booth is always a great idea! You can easily arrange it in an area of your living room, gather some garments, hats, crazy costumes and just leave the rest up to your guests. It’s an amusing way to have everyone involved and it will create some hilarious memories.
Not enough space for a photo booth? You can always rent a storage unit for a short-term period to store some of your furniture.
6. Sssssstttt!
Our final tip is : do something crazy and unexpected!
There must be a musical or creative talent amongst your friends. Ask him or her to prepare a small act or game and keep it hidden from the others.
Bring out the Wii, organize a match or invite a surprise guest. Either way, to keep your guests entertained, surprises always do the trick!
Keep these suggestions in mind, throw in some noisemakers, sparklers, confetti, and your NYE home party will be a success! We wish you a very Happy 2017!!
