How to decorate for a new years eve party
You might find that things can get a little chaotic when decorating for your new years eve event but here are some tips to keep you on track and create an amazing decorative space for the night’s festivities:
- Make Space – for cups, glasses, crockery of any kind, particularly if you’re hosting an informal gathering where guests will be standing rather than a sit down meal. Don’t overcrowd the surfaces with elaborate decorations but rather use wall space, ceilings and even the drinks themselves to create glamourous new year’s decorations.
- Think Instagram – everyone loves a great photo-opportunity! Set up a New years eve backdrop that gives your guests the chance to take some fun photos to remember the special occasion. Balloon arches and in the shape of the year that you’re ringing in work perfectly.
- Keep it simple – if you’re working with limited space, use balloons resting on the ceiling, new years eve banner on the wall, and if setting a table see if you can arrange a structure of some kind to sit in the center of the table to decorate above rather than directly onto the table surface. See inspiration for this below!
