Tips for Planning New Years Eve Decor

Don’t forget every perfect party starts with a plan of action!

Choose a color scheme and stick to it throughout!
Don’t go overboard with one color – it will look very flat even though you may add a lot of elements
Black tends to be quite popular for New Year Eve parties but be carefully to balance it out properly with other color
Things tend to get wild at New Years Eve parties, so keep a station for your drinks far away from any electric supplies to avoid any danger
Have plenty of extra spare glasses available for your guess, in case their glass gets lost or some or broken during the night. Nobody likes looking for an empty glass in a room full of people
Decor should be not just pretty but also practical – avoid hanging baloons and other items too low so people don’t bump into them all the time
