Ring in 2012 in Style

When it comes to New Years Eve parties, nothing can be more stressful. There is always so much pressure to host a flawless event and the thought of starting a new year on a bad note is terrifying to most people. Here are some tips from SD Events to help you ring in 2012 in style:

• Innovative Decor. Playing with New Years themes can be a difficult task. We suggest using a clock motif throughout all your decor choices for your party. Try plastic clocks in any colors that fit your theme as a charger for your dinner table. Using clear glass plates on top would really showcase the wonderful design element. For a more understated version of this idea, try watch centerpieces. Mix in your favorite watches with gorgeous florals for a unique and timeless centerpiece.
• Midnight Snack. New Years Parties are infamous for going late into the New Year. Even people who never stay out late will make an exception for an unforgettable night. Try the new trend of a late night menu at your event. Instead of stuffy hors d'oeuvres, opt for the classics, pigs in a blanket and delicious sliders with various condiments. Your stomach, and your guests will be thanking you for the menu to remember. 
• Start A New Tradition. In China children are given red envelopes that are filled with money on the New Year. Try something like this at your event. Instead of filling the envelopes with cash, fill them with chocolate or little candies. These envelopes can typically be bought at a Chinese convenience store. You could also use these beautiful red envelopes as escort cards! In Russia, New Years is one of the most important holidays of the year. Instead of resolutions, its a Russian tradition to make a wish on New Years Eve. This wish is written down on a piece of paper and burned on a candle. The ashes are then mixed in a glass of champagne and sipped throughout the night. Not only is this a fun, unique idea to try, it could also serve as your party's signature drink. 

SD Events wishes you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year. Be safe and have the night of your life!
