I add balloons to mark my front door and set the vibe so my guests know exactly where the New Year's bash is if my loud music doesn't give me away first. Hang a disco ball to transform your living room into the dance floor, and make sure to get some confetti noisemakers to pop off at midnight to officially celebrate New Year's Day.
Even if I'm not serving a fully seated dinner, I like to make sure my guests are well-fed with some appetizer-like dishes-think of it as a glammed-up version of 'Girl Dinner.' Start with a huge assortment of imported cheeses and cured meat, then sprinkle in extras like sliced fresh baguette, seasonal fruit, and pickles to make it even more substantial.
Champagne is the traditional NYE drink because it symbolizes abundance and prosperity-popping the cork on a bottle embodies a fresh start. While I love a flute filled with champagne bubbly, I make sure to have other sparkling options that aren't champagne, like a gin fizz or negroni sbagliato.
