Inspiration for the Holidays: New Year’s Eve Bash

By

NYE Bash

I’ve always enjoyed a good party and New Year’s Eve is no different. Like many others, the party has changed slightly with kids.

Holiday Inspiration NYE Bash

Just because you have kids doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Kids bring life to any party and incorporating party décor that festive and whimsical is fun for all!

NYE Bash Kids Table

Noise makers, fake sunglasses with 2015, hats, confetti, and beads are décor items that both adult and children enjoy. Have a special count down to the New Year at 8:30 or 9:00 pm for the younger kids and serve cookies and milk or sparkling juice.

  7. How great! I wanted my daughter to stay up with us this year, after I noticed she can”hang” late on Christmas Day but the next 2 days it was a struggle for her to fall asleep so I think I just wake her to look at fireworks, just like my parents had done when I was little.

  17. i recently started glamorizing EVERYTHING!! Glitter can be found all throughout my apartment! So much fun. I love the gold balloons!! Happy New Year!

  19. Oh these recipes look absolutely delicious and I love the New Years decorations on the table settings! I am going to try the smoked salmon recipe. It would go great for breakfast, lunch, or brunch!

  22. I am a VERY new reader of your blog but having made this last night I am now definitely a permanent one! It was INCREDIBLE – I will be making it again, for sure! And what a good way to make smoked salmon go further! Thanks so much

    • Mark, many thanks for your kind words and stopping by! I love hearing that people come and try my recipes and are inspired! I noticed you do clean eating and I make this without cheese for myself as I try to stay away from dairy. All my best, Sarah
