Celebrating New year
Given below are some ideas that will help you ensure that you have the perfect New Year with family members and friends, in the comfort of your abode. So, kick up your heels and get set to enjoy the most enjoyable event of the year.
- Decide what kind of event you are planning to have. Will it be a big bash or a small private family affair, where only close friends and relatives are invited?
- Choose your venue according to the kind of celebration you want to have. The most preferable venue is your home, where you can unwind at ease and be yourself.
- Send invitations at least 4 days in advance, notifying the guests about the venue and the kind of celebration you are going to have. If you are inviting a few people only, give them a call to add a personal touch to the invitation.
- Decorate your house with balloons and ribbons to add some zing to the celebration. Make sure you have a collection of some good music, ranging from rocking songs to soulful romantic ones. The transition should be from rock to romance, as the night transcends.
- Though some amount of alcohol is necessary, make sure you keep it in moderation. You wouldn't want your loved ones to risk driving back home after they have drunk themselves silly, right! Be innovative and make some other drinks that are non-alcoholic in nature or have a very low amount of alcohol in them.
- Don't forget to begin the countdown 10 seconds before the clock strikes 12. When the clock strikes 12, kiss your loved ones first and then go around hugging and wishing other people. Don't forget to toast on your loved ones.
- Make sure you thank everyone for coming to the celebration and making it special by their presence.
