Time to Plan Your New Years Party!

New Years Eve is less than a week away and after asking some of my friends about the big plans for the night, almost all of them said that the were just going to stay home since it was just getting too expensive to go out. I totally agree as we do the same thing.

Here are some tips for planning a great New Years Eve party at home:

Plan some games for guests. Nothing too cheesy, but something that might help some people get to know each other if they don't already.

Create a fun playlist of music of the year's most popular songs. People will recognize them and think that this is a fun way to recap the year in music.

Start a new party tradition. Have everyone bring a favorite article or symbolic item from the past year. Collect all the items, and make a collage or have everyone take a picture of their item in a photo-booth type of set up and create a photo-book of the guests with the memorable items.
