 New Year's Eve Decorating Ideas

 

On December 31 of every year, the world celebrates New Year's Eve.  Resolutions for the coming year, the feeling of a fresh start and the notion that anything is possible are all common as another year approaches.  Because this day is so special to many around the nation, it's often celebrated with a party.  And what party would be complete without the proper decorations?  Here are some ways to make your New Year's Eve celebration fittingly festive:

 

Do You Have The Time? 

A New Year's Eve celebration would not be complete without a clock.  After all, the evening's events all lead up to one great countdown that rings in the New Year, so make sure that your party features a large clock that's big enough for every guest to see from a distance.  It should have an hour, minute and second hand so that you can host your own countdown to the New Year with everyone present.

 

Ring In The New Year Everywhere

Depending on where you are, it may be possible to watch live televised coverage of others as they ring in the New Year before you.  For instance, those located on the west coast or even in the central states can watch everyone on the east coast celebrate the New Year before they do.  This is often a fun way to lead up to your own time zone celebration, so be sure to include a television for all of your guests to watch throughout the party.

 

Popular Decorations

With New Year's Eve comes streamers, confetti, balloons and plenty of other colorful decorations.  This means that you absolutely must incorporate color into your decorating theme.  Another popular accent is an automatic bubble machine, which is always a crowd pleaser at any party.

 

Have A Seat

If your New Year's Eve party includes dinner, be sure to decorate each place-setting accordingly.  Tablecloths should be crisp white in color and beautifully adorned with elegant dinnerware and flatware.  At each setting, include a disposable camera, party hats, a small bag of confetti and a miniature bubble set.  These will be ideal for your guests to capture all of evening's special moments on film and still be able to participate in the festivities.

 

Putting Your Best Foot Forward

Most New Year's Eve parties feature dancing, so put your best foot forward when it comes to decorating your dance floor.  People love to dance and having the perfect setting will help everyone to enjoy your party even more.

Love your post! Great ideas! Of course, I spend my New Years Eve taking down decorations and going out so I don't have to deal with this!

Diana Dahlberg... I used to leave Christmas things up until Epiphany. But then, I'd get so busy with my new year business, I never had enough time to put my house in order. So now I just do it when I know I can have some quiet time to do so.

Diana, with these decorating ideas, I know your New Years Eve party was a smashing success!  When I grew up, my mother did many of these things and we did keep the Christmas tree until Jan 6th as well.

Nina Hollander I totally understand that.  I have to just "get it done" on Jan 31st or Feb 1st and it's an all day event so I just mark off my day way in advance so nothing can interfere with my plan.

Hi Diana - We have a now long tradition of going to a friends house in our neighborhood.  It is not formal but lots of food to take and, of course, plenty of champagne.  We don't worry about a clock in New York.  We just watch the ball drop on TV.

Debbie Reynolds thank you so much for counting me into your Saturday Subscruber Finds 85!  I clicked on the link and read all the other Newbie's info and then went to their sites and got real busy.  What a motivational evening this has been!  Too much to try and re-state here ... but monetheless, I am honored that you gave me this opportunity to be included. 2015 is going to be a great year! I'm looking forward to getting more involved and feel very encouraged by the others here in the RAIN.

Debbie Walsh Thanks for your comments. It's also one of my favorite times of the year.  There is nothing like all the wonderment of a NEW year and all that comes with it.  And it just has to start with a celebration -- with decorations and all!
