We're in the spirit of the end of the year and I'm sure you've already stopped to think about what you're going to do for the New Year. If you are going to spend New Year's Eve at home, then you will need to prepare at least a little financially, as a special celebration day needs food, drinks and at least some decoration. Still, you don't need to spend a lot to have a good New Year's Eve at home.
In addition to traditional white clothes, inviting friends or family is a great way to renew your energy. Furthermore, the food and drinks add a special touch to a New Year's table well decorated for the date.
New Year's Eve at home
As the end of the year approaches, everyone thinks of some special way to celebrate. There are those who go out, those who travel, but if it's not possible to do that this year, how about doing something nice at home? It is not necessary to spend a lot, as that is what financial planning is for. We've prepared 6 tips and a few extra ideas for you to enjoy New Year's Eve in a special way in the comfort of your home.
1. Invitations
Firstly, to have a party at home, we need to know how many people are going. At a New Year's Eve party at home, it's no different. To do this, you can invite people in person or use technology.
There is the classic WhatsApp. In addition to inviting one by one privately, you can make a group and invite everyone you want to go. An even better way to organize is to issue a numbered attendance list, as this way you don't run the risk of making mistakes in the quantity of what will be purchased. Finally, you can use the notifications once a day, to confirm your presence or remind people not to forget the event.
Furthermore, you can create an event on Facebook and invite the lucky guests so that they can confirm their presence, with all the information in the event description. However, be careful, as not everyone accesses the social network frequently.
2. Budget for a New Year's Eve at home
After inviting everyone, it is important to do financial planning. After all, no one wants to start a new year with debt. So make sure you have enough money and start doing the math.
The tip is that, if you've invited a lot of people, crowdfund to buy food and drinks, or ask guests to at least bring their own drinks. Therefore, establishing an amount for each guest to pay in advance ensures that everyone can eat and drink with peace of mind.
3. Drinks
Drinks are almost like the main dish at a party and New Year's Eve. So, make sure you have space to store everything and keep it cold. To do this, you can ask guests to bring coolers or rent tubs, in addition to buying bags of ice or asking them to take one.
For guests who don't drink, buying or making juices is great. Thus, the punch served in a beautiful glass cup can be refreshing, in addition to contributing to the beauty of the table and decoration.
4. Food
At a party, food cannot be missed. Therefore, on New Year's Eve it is good that the options are quick and easy to eat, as most people will be busy and, if you live in a small house or apartment, they will be standing around. Therefore, opting for snacks, snacks and sweets is very practical.
If you want to buy ready-made, there are many buffets that deliver their food and snacks to your home, upon request. This way, the budget shared between guests can be very low. On the other hand, if it is agreed that a family or person will bring a dish, it will also be easier for no one to spend the whole day in the kitchen making various meals.
5. New Year's outfits at home
Of course, to have a good New Year's Eve, we want to look beautiful. So, that frequent question arises “what clothes do I wear?”. However, first of all we have to remember that colors, when it comes to New Year's Eve, are taken very seriously.
Therefore, choose the color of your clothes according to the beliefs attributed to each color, if you wish. Here's a little more about the meaning and attraction of each color of clothing for the New Year's Eve look:
- White: kindness, light, calm and lightness;
- Yellow: reminiscent of gold; to attract money;
- Blue: well-being, patience and calm (avoid dark blue, as it represents monotony);
- Beige: melancholic, not cool to wear;
- Purple: attracts respect and prosperity, means nobility;
- Gray or silver: success and stability, especially for projects and careers;
- Black: means mystery and dignity, attracts luxury;
- Red: attracts passion; means elegance and leadership;
- Green: greatness, hope and health.
If the question is the style of clothing, not the color, don't worry. Being at home, the important thing is that you have comfortable pieces and, if you want, that match the decor style you have chosen.
6. Decoration for New Year's Eve at home
This is perhaps the most fun part of New Year's Eve at home. Here you can use your creativity. However, if you don't want to or can't spend a lot, why not take advantage of the Christmas decorations that are already up? Turn signals are your best friends right now.
For New Year, themed and costume parties also go down very well. This way, the costumes can match the decoration theme. Additionally, you can buy cheap decorations such as shiny flowers, confetti and napkins with the theme you want to match.
If the party is small and with few people, candles and flavorings will bring that intimate atmosphere. On top of that, if it's a very romantic New Year's Eve for two, the scented candles and fresh flowers are phenomenal.
