| New Years Eve In A Box! and on A budget |
| New Years Eve doesn't have to break the bank!! If you saw the interview on Channel 14 then you know that with less than $100.00 you can plan the perfect Fete |
| The New Years Eve in a Box Recipe for Success 1. A Plain palette - start with a black or white linen and work in a signature color that you can tailor everything around. 2. Do go to the Christmas section where everything has been marked down at least 75% off and choose a shocking red or a metallic gold either silver that screams fun, festivities, New year. Use this color to compliment your black or white palette. You can pick up cones, Large Bows, Beading and Christmas ornaments and fill them in a vase. Instead of buying hats ask your guests to bring their own New Years Eve hat that they created or make an area where they can create a hat using New Years Eve newspapers, Construction paper and any art supplies you may be able to find . 3. Pick up a Christmas Box covered in felt or a paper design that brings your colors together (They have these at Party City and at Dollar tree ) and use this for your entertainmenet. add a sign made from printing off a simple word document in your signature color that says: Put your New years Resolution here. Add items from 2009 such as articles from the News paper or pictures of past event so that your guests can look back in history before writing down their new goals and placing them in a box. 4. Do use fun comfort foods that you can make fancy. A great example is Macaroni & cheese. Our personal chef recomends using white american cheese and individualizing each serving in either shot glasses and or minature bowls to compliment a Rosemary Chicken skewer with pineapples and 1 cherry tomato. 5. Dessert should be exciting so we suggest buying a Rocky Road Ice cream and or Red Velvet - at least 2 to 3 flavors (again to match your color scheme ) and using different size spoons to place one scoop on each spoon for each guests then offer chopped nuts or sprinkles for them. It makes a simple dessert and adds conversation. 6. Drinks - We recommend a signature cocktail - you can even name it - The 2010 and that will reduce teh costs of money that you will have to spend on alcohol and add an exciting opportunity for guests to figure out the ingredients for 2010!!! Do remember sweet tea, a flavored lemonade with sliced lemons or strawberries and bottled water. 7. The Midnight hour- Go for something that your guests will remember like sparklers . Place them all in a basket of any kind near a sign that says "a Sparkling Farewell" or simply get 20 balloons blown up in your signature color, 1 for each guests and at the midnight hour everyone can release everything they experienced in 2009 and expect amazing things for 2009. Although paper products are fun within this $100 budget you can go elegant and rent fine china for .35-50 cents a piece!
