Before we start anew on January 1, we must first celebrate the year that's being left behind. If you're planning a New Year's Eve bash, you know the event has a few necessities: Delicious food, glamorous décor, and enough Champagne for that quintessential midnight toast.
To ensure your ode to 2022 goes off without a hitch, you'll need to stock up on a few essentials. Hosting a casual open house? Slide thematic cocktails napkins under guests' Champagne coupes (we thought of those, too!) to prevent sweat rings on your surfaces as they mix and mingle—or opt for an upbeat disco ball theme and fill your space with dozens of the light-throwing orbs. And if you're holding a more refined fête? Sleek antiqued brass candle holders and gold-rimmed placemats will infuse your space with gilded sophistication. From table décor to bar cart accessories, it's the extra details that give your end-of-year bash all the glitz and glam it requires.
