Planning a New Year's Eve Party?

Are you thinking of having a New Year's Eve party? There's still time to invite family and friends to a casual get-together, though you may need to have it at your home, since most facilities are already booked.

A casual party might include deli trays from your favorite grocery store or Costco. Just be sure to order them ahead. Costco has tasty desserts or you might order pies from Marie Callender's or pick up cookies or brownies at your grocer's or from Pastry Perfection. Or, you can order take-out from your favorite restaurant.

Be careful about serving too much alcohol; perhaps a champagne or sparkling cider toast at midnight would be sufficient. You don't want your family and friends to greet the new year with a trip to the poky and you can be certain the police will be out in force.

If you serve only a small amount of food, you may not need seating for everyone. If you want seating, ask family members to bring folding chairs. Alternatively, you may still be able to rent chairs and tables if you are willing to pick them up.

Where will I be on New Year's Eve? At a wedding. For some couples, particularly teachers and college students, this is a great time to get married. They have time off from school for the wedding and honeymoon and many churches and other venues are already decorated, thus reducing costs.

However you decide to celebrate, plan ahead, be safe, and have a great party.
