The new year is right around the corner and I’m excited for all the opportunities it could bring. A new year is always a great motivator to try new things. New Year’s Eve is a wonderful time to not only celebrate what is to come, but also the year that has just passed.
A New Year’s Eve party is usually themed around glamour and style. The most popular colors to decorate with for this event are gold, silver, black and white. It’s all about sparkle and elegance. So, I stuck with this common theme when selecting ten fabulous decor ideas for a New Year’s Eve party. Many of the ideas are DIY projects and are quick and affordable to put together, many even on a last-minute basis.
If you have any gold or silver tinsel left over from Christmas, you can use it to create a festive backdrop for a New Year’s Eve party, such as behind a buffet table.
Cupcakes are a quick and easy snack for the party. Just pop in these adorable DIY clocks to theme them. Clock Printables: No Biggie
If tinsel isn’t your thing, then maybe these DIY fringe garlands could do the trick as a festive backdrop. Tutorial: Oh Happy Day
Make homemade cookies or use store-bought ones and decorate them with NYE-themed images like these.

If you don’t have time to paint balloons, grab a gold marker and write some festive messages on them instead.
Paper birds can look glamorous when they are white and gold and hung in a large flock like this.
Theme your table with gold clocks and give everyone gold party crackers that double as place holders.
For an easy centerpiece, turn some plain white candles into festive gold accents with polka dots and stripes. Tutorial: A Pumpkin and a Princess
Mix in party favors and masks for some easy decor. You can even gather them in large glass bowls to serve as part of the centerpiece.
Happy New Year! May you have a wonderful 2015!
Warm regards,
Megan
