How to Throw an Amazing New Year's Eve Party

Take a cue from party experts and throw a New Year's party that's laid-back yet glittering.

Design unique personalized invitations at zazzle.com

Try filling your home with silver and white balloons, an easy decoration that makes a huge impact.

If you have had your fill of cakes and pies from Thanksgiving and Christmas, in lieu of a traditional dessert tray, opt for a whimsical stacked Oreo tower -- complete with sparkler candles.

For a laid-back affair, keep the food and drinks simple. Set up a bar in the dining room. Guests can help themselves by mixing a drink or pouring Champagne. Another simple-yet-elegant idea is to set up a caviar station. Include toast points and plenty of serving spoons.

Keep with the casual yet festive theme of the party, and set up a portable game of table tennis on your dining room table.

What is your favorite way to celebrate New Years Eve?

How to Personalize Christmas Cards on Zazzle

It makes sense that this time of year, I have my hands full designing Christmas and Holiday cards and festive party invitations, but it doesn't help you if you have a cornucopia of cute designs to choose from but no idea how to make it perfect for you! (Notice that great use of the word cornucopia?? and only two days before Thanksgiving! hehe I love when that happens!)

 

Anyway, I made this fun video last night to give you a quick look at how to personalize cards and photocards on Zazzle

 

 

 

Browse through my Christmas cards at http://www.zazzle.com/noteableexpressions/gifts?cg=196815209842154965&rf=...

 

Do you want to add your own photos? Then look at cards that already have a photo - those are just place holders waiting for your gorgeous pics!

Don't want to share photos of you when you won the ugly sweater prize? Then choose one without pictures -

Now that you have selecte your card - look to the right and go to Step 1 - and add your photos and text - add your greeting, a special message, your names - anything you'd like on the front cover!

To change the text on the inside - just click on the photo that shows the inside of the card just below the larger picture.

 

Expert tip: you can change ANYTHING - the font, the size, placement, etc. just by clicking on the orange Customize It! button! Easy Peasy.
