Champagne isn’t the only thing that’s sparkling at this New Year’s Eve party! The party planners at celebrations.com chose our Shaped to Celebrate New Year’s Eve party invitations as the starting point for their retro and sparkly New Year’s Eve party ideas.
The invitation’s muted colors and star accents provided the color palette and sparkly theme that carried throughout the party, from the aqua table runner to the shimmery silver gray accents. Silver beads and ornament-size disco balls were sprinkled about to add to the party dance theme. And a do-it-yourself cake stand embellished with glittery 2013 decals was an inexpensive way to give the serving table a New Year’s theme. With candles lit, it was all very glamorous.
We know that planning a Christmas party can be stressful, but we have some helpful tips from SheKnows.com on how to ease your mind.
1. Send your Christmas party invitations out early, at least a month in advance. The holidays get busy and it’s better to have your party on everyone’s calendar as soon as you start the planning.
2. Create a budget. Nobody likes a surprise when checking out at the grocery store. A little planning will go a long way.
3. If you are preparing the food, create a menu and timeline for when you need to shop, prepare and cook everything so you can be 100% ready. Prepare as much as you can in the days leading up to the party.

When the clock strikes midnight, this party is rockin! And it all starts with our clock-shaped Tick Tock New Year’s Party Invitations, the inspiration for a New Year’s Eve celebration of fun and games planned by celebrations.com.
It’s hard to pick a Featured Favorite in December because we see so many great cards at this time of year. But this humorous New Year’s card caught our eye, especially because the order came through well before Christmas. Turns out that Stacie, the card’s creator, had her mind set on sending a New Year’s card and the dress-up lips and mustache were just the touch of silliness she was looking for.
Our Dressed Up for the New Year card offers the option to put a silly mustache or lips on your photos. Stacie said she had never considered New Year’s card ideas before, but loved this concept when she saw it. “We had a really tough year,” she explains. “For us, the focus is on next year being much less stressful!” That would also explain her choice of text on the card: “2012 Resolution: Less stress. More silly.” Good luck with your resolution, Stacie. We think you’re off to a good start!
