How will you ever be able to plan a New Year's Eve party right after the holidays? The madness of the holidays just seems to have died down and now it's time to plan an unforgettable New Year's Eve party. Well, Wedding and Party Network has a few tips to make your New Year's the best ever, while not working too hard.

1. 

   Sparkling New Year's Eve
   Save the Dates – Send out your party invitations NOW. That way, you can make sure your guests know you are planning a party and they can make plans to attend. Don't forget to tie your invitations into the theme of your party.
2. New Year's Eve Theme – Having the right theme for your party is definitely the key element. Work your decor into your home, instead of making it one giant focal point. Also, try to use your holiday decor that you already have out. Candles, ornaments with glitter, and lights all can serve as decor for your party.
3. Set the Mood – Set the mood for New Year's with twinkling lights, candles, and dim the overhead lights. It creates the perfect party mood and your guests will instantly recognize it when stepping through the door.
4. Enough Room to Mingle – If you're having a large crowd over, make sure there is enough room for your guests. Move furniture around to give more room to mix and mingle.
5. The Little Things – Don't forget to stock the bar or have your guests bring their own drinks with them. Buying can get expensive so it may be best if you have everyone bring their own. Plus, not everyone enjoys the same drinks. You could also go with a signature drink that fits the theme of your party as well. Also, please have several cab company phone numbers on hand, just in case.
6. Count Down – Make sure everyone counts down together, it's more fun that way. Everyone feels that sense of bond and togetherness when they ring in the new year together.
7. Say Thanks with Party Favors – Don't forget to come up with cute party favors to send your guests home with. One idea maybe a recovery kit that is filled with aspirin, coffee, chocolates, and a thank you note.

Don't be stressed when planning your New Year's Eve party. Follow these simple tips and your party will be sparkling at midnight.
