Happy New Year!

After all of the holiday shopping, all of the cooking, the cleaning, the hosting, the decorating, the winter sports and activities… there is nothing we crave more than… well, let’s be honest here. There’s nothing we crave more than a new year!

A new year signifies a fresh start, slower living, a time for resolutions, health and quiet time. And, of course, a well-deserved break after another successful December. The last holiday party before January 1st is a meaningful one. Popping champagne, dressing yourself up in sparkles, and extending a ‘cheers’ to the ones you love most, is the perfect way to say ‘see you later’ to the hectic Christmas rush. It’s also the perfect way to say ‘hello’, to the promise of a brand new year!

I’ve put together my ideal New Year’s Eve party in this blog post, thanks to my friends at Weddingstar. Weddingstar has everything you need to celebrate all of life’s joys, big or small, and always at a convenient price point you can afford. Based in Alberta, Canada, this wedding, gift and favour company is consistently bringing in the trendy new items we crave, with the traditional products we have loved for decades. With free shipping over $125 across North America, take a long peruse around the site for all of your home decor needs!

Read on, for everything you need to ring in the new year in style!

A blush, black, and gold theme is a feminine twist on the classic style of a new year’s eve party. With hexagonal party-ware, touches of marble and gold foil, this theme is chic, warm, and stylish – and bang-on trend.

A local bubbly is a must, and we have selected Mission Hill Estate Winery’s Reserve Brut for our celebrations. This bubbly has sold out for the season, so be sure to stock up on your sparkling wines and champagnes in advance for the 31st! Visit your local wine shop and select a few local bubblies to serve.

Push-Up Confetti Popper – Blank

Always a fun way to ring in a new year, try out a few confetti poppers! Weddingstar has 3 styles of confetti poppers, and you can purchase them blank or with a personalized label specifically for your celebration.

Choose from pink, white and beige tissue poppers, black, white and beige tissue poppers, or gold and silver metallic poppers.

*Take care to vacuum and dispose of your confetti responsibly, and not flush confetti down any household drains. Use your confetti poppers indoors only for easy cleanup!
