Decorations will help set the tone for a New Year's Eve party your guests will not soon forget.
A New Year's Eve party is a festive way to ring in the upcoming year with friends and family. To set the tone for an event to remember, the right decorations can be very helpful. You can create your own decorations or purchase supplies from your local party store to help welcome guests into your home. The best wall decorations will set the scene, provide lighting and help create a jubilant atmosphere for your party guests to enjoy. Does this Spark an idea?
Silver and Gold
Silver and gold are the traditional colors of New Year's celebrations. This makes them the go-to color choices for decorating with streamers, confetti, noisemakers or even determining dress for the event. You can create wall decorations in this color scheme by arranging metallic strips of paper on the wall in chosen designs, such as champagne glasses, top hats or noisemakers. Instead of paper, you can also paint plastic champagne glasses in your desired metallic tone or wrap them in colored fabric. Wrap a decorative ribbon around the stems of the glasses and loop the ribbons into a garland that can be arranged on the wall.
The Ball Drop
One of the ceremonial signs that the new year has arrived is the ball drop in Times Square. You can use a disco ball or create your own ball to drop at the stroke of midnight. You may even choose to create a backdrop for your ball to fall from. For example, try cutting out skyscraper shapes from sheets of black craft paper and arrange them on the wall. Paint windows onto the paper and other symbols of cityscapes to properly stage the ball drop. Make a ball by covering a Styrofoam globe in aluminum foil and gluing clear plastic cups to it to create a mirrored effect. Thread the ball with a string and tie it to a hook on the ceiling. When the clock strikes midnight, release the string and drop the ball.
Lighting
Festive lighting is a colorful way to add interest to the wall decorations. Whether your party is indoors or out, string lights can be arranged to shine a light on the celebration and create a desired ambiance. Small white string lights will suffice, but you could also add paper lanterns to the lights to further enhance the party theme. Cut shapes into white paper bags, such as stars, champagne glasses or fireworks. Insert a battery-operated tea light inside each bag. Hang these bags on the wall to resemble sconces or arrange them along the entrance to the party or around high-traffic areas.
