Hello! 2016 is coming to a close and you all know what that means: New Year’s Eve is just right around the corner. And with it comes a flurry of NYE parties. If you’re planning your own NYE party, don’t stress out- we’ve got you covered. We’ve rounded up eight different tips, ideas and products so that you can throw your best NYE party ever.

1. Metallics are your best friend when decorating for your NYE party. Metallic pieces like napkin rings or glitzy golden ornaments feel so right for celebrating the New Year with yet they can still be used again afterwards. Those metallic napkin rings? Perfect for any formal dinner. Those glitzy golden ornaments? Also great on your Christmas tree or for another special celebration. Versatility is key when it comes to décor- and saving money on décor!

2. Buy pieces that will last year after year. Instead of paper decorations or cheap throwaway decorations, go for pieces like this champagne salt and pepper shaker that you’ll be able to use at your NYE celebration year after year. As an added bonus, this salt and pepper shaker set also works well for Christmas dinner, birthday celebrations, etc.

3. Utilize your décor from the Christmas holiday. Pieces printed with snowflakes or other subtle wintery designs work well not only for Christmas but also for New Year’s Eve. This garland would look wonderful strung across your fireplace or along the window.

4. Mix and match your serving platters and dishes for a very unique, glamorous appeal. Variety creates visual interest. We love this reindeer platter as well as our white starfish serving platter.

5. An elegant table runner can make a huge difference on your dinner table. Throw down this table runner on your table and voila! Your wine and cheese spread instantly looks more festive. Again, an elegant table runner like this one can be used time and time again AND not just for New Year’s Eve; this one would also be great for Valentine’s brunch, any special anniversary, formal dinners, etc.

6. Take ornaments from your Christmas tree to hang on the wall and from the windows, fireplace mantle, ceiling hooks, etc. Choose versatile pieces like glitzy golden pieces for a festive punch.

7. If you’re on a limited budget, that’s totally okay. Small decorative pieces like this bubbly bottle stopper pack a strong punch of NYE style and charm.

8. Don’t forget about crucial pieces like bottle openers. You may have purchased enough to drink but did you purchase a bottle opener for all of those drinks?
