This year my sisters and I have resolved to make our New Years Eve fun since it’s been a complete disappointment in the past. I’m thinking that a display of balloons filled with confetti and prizes that are popped at midnight will be essential.

    What a great idea!! I used confetti once and I was finding it in my carpet and couch cushions for years later! But it was still fun.

    new years eve definetly used to be a party (until kids – don't get me wrong love my kids…just…well you get it).

    balloons are always a fave…having them filled with little bits of confetti and prizes is such a good idea. I think I'm going to have to do this. AWESOME!

    We always have a terrible new year! We were talking last night about how we can't remember what we did for 2009 but as Ryan put it, "It probably sucked anyway". Seriously, always a let-down.

    I'm not even trying this year, but good luck to you! This sounds fun.

    Excellent idea to add some pizzaz to New Years Eve. Don't sweat the past disappointments… It is an overrated holiday in my opinion!

    I'm throwing a NYE party this year, and am going to steal this wonderful idea!

  • On December 19, 2009 , TheBeautyFile said:

    That sounds like the most fun party ever!! One year I went to my best friend's house for a teeny tiny party. It snowed so we kept all the beer right in the snow outside the door!

    That would be soooo fun! I'm going to remember that idea too!!

    remember when we made punch and then spilled it all over while we were trying to make a toast… and it was a do-over new year's eve… that was a funny night. I hope that this year you have a good one!

    Oh I hear you! I hate the pressure of having a good time just because it is the last night of the year!
    Good friends of mine are having their wedding new years eve so I'm super excited – if you can't have fun at a beautiful wedding I don't know when you can! xx

    Sounds like a brilliant idea – and if I didn't have a phobia of balloons (madness I know!) then I would be stealing the idea too. xx
