Kelly’s Korner – Ideas To Ring In The New Year

People ring in the new year in many different ways. Whether you want to head to New York, a local club, or just have a small get together with family and friends, we have a list of ideas to help you make the best of your 2015 celebrations this year.

FOR THE OUTGOING PARTY ANIMAL

If you are the person that loves to get out, party, and meet new people, heading out to a club can be a really fun time. It's probably a great idea to check out your many options, find out what each club is offering, and book a reservation early. Sometimes party favors are included, as well as a buffet and safe rides home. Look for something that will be fun, meet your group of friends needs, but be safe for everyone.

FOR THE HOMEBODY

Do you prefer to have a smaller get together with just a few family members and/or friends? Having your closest family and friends with you during the New Year Celebration is very important to you.  Plan food ideas for a personal menu that make the event extra special and fun for your particular group of people. You want to make sure that even the fussiest eaters have something special they truly enjoy.

DECORATING IDEAS

Don't forget the party favors and top hats, since they are sort of an essential part of the New Years Eve party atmosphere.  Having great music, confetti to throw, or even having a countdown on the tv while you're celebrating ensures that you and your guests will enjoy the overall atmosphere.  Make sure your music is upbeat and positive!

NEW YEAR'S FOOD IDEAS

Try to have a variety of foods available for your celebration.  Finger foods are always great for a party. Try to offer healthy options like veggie  and fruit trays, tasty cheese and cracker trays. Consider chips and various dips that are easy to prepare and easy to serve.
