Confetti and Champagne are synonymous with end-of-year celebrations, but adding and subtracting these simple holiday elements are guaranteed to transform your home in time for the New Year! Decorating is the most exciting part of planning a party, and a little creativity goes a long way. Follow our festive steps to make sure you ring in the New Year right!

1: Invite Early

Send out invitations 4-6 weeks to allow guests to plan for your New Year’s soiree. The holidays are a busy time and calendars fill up quick! Missed the deadline? Go informal with a photo of a festive invite sent via Evite, Facebook events or even via text.

2: Go Glam

Exchange traditional colors of reds & greens for a more modern approach of gray, black and white, with touches of gold and silver accents.

3: Swap in Festive Focal Points

Swap holiday wreaths and garland for a confetti-filled, metallic balloon cluster. Search your home for metallic items, like candles, vases, trays or glassware to create a new look for nothing.

4: From Holiday for Part-Tay

Remove holiday elements and fillers, like holly. Use numbered stickers to add countdown touches throughout your decor. Place stickers on favor boxes, Champagne flutes and drink stirrers!

5: Add a Signature NYE Item
