You plan and enjoy different celebrations every season, but this one is extra special. New Year's Eve always brings out the resourceful side of your hospitality. This year in Edison Park, IL, keep everything fun, simple and safe. Join friends in retrieving seasonal supplies from storage units as you make your party plans.

Create Your Own Decorations

Why spend money on expensive New Year's decorations? Put your creative talents to work crafting originals that express your personal style. It's so much more fun to do it yourself when you start off with these ideas.

  • Repurpose your Christmas wreath with tiny noisemakers and miniature New Year's hats.
  • Decorate interiors with confetti by pinning the walls with brightly colored paper circles.
  • Add excitement to every room with pretty string lights around mirror and picture frames.
  • Put sparkle on champagne bottles with a light spray of gold glitter paint.

Build a Beautiful Buffet

An enticing New Year's Eve buffet encourages guests to mingle while they graze. It also helps balance cocktails with plenty of food. Get those chafing dishes out of self storage and put these ideas on your serving tables.

  • Ask friends to help by bringing their favorite holiday appetizers and sweets.
  • Save your time for your guests by keeping the buffet simple and easy to refill.
  • Use tiered cake stands, napkin-lined baskets, and bright colanders as unique serving dishes.
  • Avoid buffet bottlenecks by making sure each food item has easy-to-reach serving utensils.
  • Stock your champagne cocktail bar with strawberry, lemon peel, and sugar cube garnishes.

Make It a Safe Celebration

Cocktails, wine, and beer help ring in New Year's Eve, but too many drinks can put a damper on the festivities. Don't try to manage it all by yourself. Discuss plans with several friends a few days before your celebration. As a group, you can agree on designated drivers in advance.

Keep rideshare numbers handy throughout the evening just in case. Encourage your guests to keep their plates full between cocktails. Offer them non-alcoholic beverages with lots of sparkle and taste. Stay upbeat, but don't let anyone get behind the wheel after too many drinks.
