Happy New Year! Make it Count with a Terrific Fete
New Year’s Eve is all about the celebrations - celebrations that last all evening. Partygoers and revelers observe with midnight kisses, champagne wassails and charged renditions of Auld Lang Syne. Ring in 2010 by saying bye-bye to your vices - whether it’s smoking, junk food or excessive shopping and saying hello to a fresh you with a fun-filled New Year’s Fete. With glamour, sparkle and a little bit of mystery, mask celebrations are the perfect way to insure a different, merriment-filled New Year’s Eve. Charming dreamings are made of these! With walkmans in hand, jive with while you pop the bubbly at a New Year’s ’80s Retro Fete.
Requiring your New Year’s celebration guests to wait on dinner until midnight can be trying, especially when alcoholic beverages and merriment are contributed to the blend. Close planning and a couple of essential appetizers are key to determining your invitees are good and taken care of without spoiling their appetites for your midnight fiesta. Begin the fete with these New Years Eve party ideas: ensure each guest gets a beverage of their choice when they arrive. I advise grab-and-go finger foods like breads and spreads. Get a little more epicurean and prepare a genuinely cultural cheese board with an array of really exquisite imported cheese like Peppata, Asiago, Monchego, and Triple Creme brie, or sample a basic dipping sauce for raw oysters on the half shell.
A masquerade party has so many common decor elements with a traditionalistic New Year’s Eve bash that pulling it all together is nearly effortless. With a couple of ornate masks, a sprinkle of glitter and a dash of gold, you can throw a themed New Year’s party to recall. Pop the champagne at a New Year’s ’80s Retro Party for a fun way to ring in 2010.
