The Theme: This year we
will throw a Champagne & Cinema New Years Party full of fun low key events
that can be enjoyed by couples, families or an intimate group of friends. To make the event a blast it will be filled
with bubbly cocktails and dramatic cinema. We will some of our favorites and the top movies of 2017:
The Sips: Nothing says New Years like a bit of the bubbly!
This year we are mixing one of my dear husbands favorites and champagne to make
these delicious Champagne Moscow Mules. I can’t wait to toast with a little bit
of bubbly, ginger and style. You can
grab this great recipe from Home Made
Interest.
The Snacks: The best part of celebrating at home is all the
good nibbly bits. Traditionally we cook black-eye peas for good luck in a recipe
called Hoppin
John. This Brazilian tradition signifies wealth and prosperity. Here’s a
good recipe from the Plain Chicken. Another great tradition is from Greece for
St. Basil’s Day, they make special bread and bury a coin in one piece. Whoever
get the coin in there piece is blessed with good luck. I found this circular and delicious Blueberry
Lemon Crescent Ring from the Girl Who Ate Everything blog that that will
just make you melt.
The Look: The best part of parting at home is getting to run around in your comfy pajamas! Just because your comfy doesn't mean you have to be downtrouden. If you can't figure out what comfy, sexy looks like check out this inspiration from Bustle and Instagram.
The Décor: New Years is a time filled with champagne and
shimmer, so even though we are keeping it low key, what is a party with out a little ambiance. Balloons, champagne and popcorn will fill the room will a tasty bit of fun!
The Fun: The fun really during the count down toward the 1:00 am. That is when we pop the champagne and there are kisses for all. We
are looking to have a blast watching movies and using this great free pintable New
Years Eve Game from Party Delights
and Artsy
Fartsy Mama to fill the evening with the best and worst memories of the
year.
Different traditions are celebrated through the world for
New Year this year why not review a few and give
them a shot:
- In Belgium, for Saint Sylvester Eve, they throw family parties where everyone exchanges kisses and exchange fortune greetings. In Spain, at midnight everyone quickly eats 12 grapes to bring good luck.
- The Philippines believe that everything round is auspicious and attracts more fortune and money; so they wear polka dots, eat round food like grapes and carry coins.
- Rome celebrates for three days and decorates with colorful lights, and gifts to their loved ones like Gold, silver, for prosperity, honey for sweetness etc.
