Virtual New Year's Eve Party

Sequins, sparkles, and champagne, OH MY! It's time to say, "Goodbye to 2020!" and, "Bling in the New Year!"

I imagine everyone is ready to kiss this year goodbye, so let's get dressed up, grab a glass of champagne and celebrate a fresh start and a sparkling new year.

This year celebrations have looked very different. Rather than attending large parties or epic events, we've created smaller gatherings with family and hosted virtual celebrations. It's time to wrap up one heck of a year, and what better way to do it than with your own over-the-top New Year's Eve celebrations?

Whether you're having a small celebration with your family or planning to ring in the new year with a few friends, this NYE party is full of festive ideas that will help you kiss 2020 goodbye.

This year, rather than hosting a big party, we'll be celebrating New Year's Eve with a small group of friends at a cabin in the woods. But, we didn't want to miss out on celebrating with all of our friends, so I created "NYE Party in a Box" invitations for those who will be joining virtually.

I used DIY Unfinished Wood Crates to deliver these NYE party supplies. I filled the box with everything our friends would need to virtually join us and ring in the new year including, party hats, blowouts, champagne flutes and treat-filled mini champagne piñatas.

Next, I decided to set up a focal point for our small gathering that doubled as a dessert bar and photo booth backdrop for our virtual celebration.

These days I'm obsessed with balloon garlands! I used the Ginger Ray Blue Balloon Arch Kit as my base and mixed in Gold Confetti Balloons and DIY Countdown Clock Balloons. Grab the super simple tutorial for these DIY Countdown Balloons here.

I also added lots of sparkle and shine to the backdrop with the Gold Glitter Diamond Hanging Decorations, Gold Glitter Star Garland, and Hanging Paper Fans.

The Navy Blue Gossamer Roll is the perfect material to anchor everything together. This material is so versatile and can be used for everything from backdrops to table decorations.

Since we aren't having a big NYE party this year, I decided a fancy dinner party with our close friends would be the perfect way to start the new year. I started each place setting with a Gold Scalloped Paper Dinner Plate then stacked a Coastal Seaside Dinner Plate, 7" Navy Petal Edge Dessert  Plate, and gold New Year's Eve horn on top. Cream Polka Dot Dinner Napkins underneath Metallic Gold Cutlery sat next to each setting while Metallic Gold Foil Paper Cups and Cream Polka Dot Paper Dessert Plates finished off the look. And the best part about this pretty place setting is that I don't have to spend time in the kitchen hand washing dishes after the celebration!

Since we will be staying up late, I created a simple treats table with snacks to keep the party going all night long. I used the Clear Donut Stands to display donuts and filled  a Half-Gallon Cylinder Jar with popcorn. I also put out Navy Parchment Treat Bags so that everyone could help themselves.

Cupcakes and mini champagne bottle favor containers filled with candy are a sweet way to say good riddance to this sour year!

I filled the mini champagne piñatas with treats for the kids so that they can break them open when the clock strikes midnight.

A toast to a fresh start and hope for a brighter year is a must at midnight, and the Clear Patterned Champagne Flutes are perfect for our celebration.

Of course, we can't forget our festive attire! These NYE Party Kits have everything you'll need to get the party started. With everything from paper top hats, tiaras, foil horns, and paper blowouts, you'll feel festive and ready to ring in the new year in no time.

No matter how you plan to celebrate New Year's Eve this year, you'll find everything you need to create an enchanting evening that sparkles and shines in this midnight soiree. Let's kiss 2020 goodbye and get ready to create lots of shining moments and memories in 2021!
