NYE 2010!!!

Are you excitied about the ending of 2009? Are you celebrating the beginning of 2010 with a BANG!!! There are many planning to host NYE 2010 "House" Parties for family and friends. What a WONDERFUL way to bring in the NEW YEAR!!! Here are a few suggestions and ideas to Hosting a SUCCESSFUL event.

1. Create a FESTIVE Atmosphere:: Check local Party Supply, Department, and Discount stores for Decorations, Paper Products, and other Trinkets. Stick with one Color Scheme or Pattern. For Best Selection: Try Party City for your Themed Paper Products and your local Dollar Store for Noise Makers, Hats, and Confetti.



2. Keep your Menu Simple and the Beverages Flowing:: The most economical way to accomplish this is to stick with Hors d'oeuvres or Appetizers and a Nice Signature Cocktail or Champagne Punch. After the "COUNTDOWN" treat guests to a nice "Shrimp and Grits Breakfast". Check the Internet for Cocktail and Punch Recipes and change the name to reflect the theme and spirit of your party!!!



3. The "COUNTDOWN":: Please be sure as the Host, you are monitoring the time very carefully. (Trust me it is easy to lose track of time when you are having fun.) Be sure to gather the guest at 11:50pm to hand out the drinks and noise makers for "Countdown" and the "Celebratory Toast".

Overall, Enjoy yourself and Enjoy your Guests by creating lasting memories. Don't forget to take plenty of pictures!!!!

Happy Planning,

MJ
