What to bring to the table

The main New Year tradition is a generously and beautifully laid table. It has long been believed that if there are many dishes on the table, the coming year will bring abundance and wealth to the house. But try not just to cook a lot of dishes, but to think over an interesting menu. It will not be difficult, since this year there are no restrictions on the composition of dishes. But in order to please the mistress of the year, you need to make sure that there are a lot of greens and vegetables on the table. Salads and vegetable dishes, cheeses and dairy dishes will be very useful. You can serve hot meat or fish.

Be sure to surprise everyone with some new products. If there are children at the party, prepare a separate table for them. You can arrange cooked dishes in the New Year theme. For example, you can arrange a salad in the form of chimes, use the ideas for decorating meat and cheese cuts in the form of a Christmas tree, and so on. A dish made in the form of a lamb will look very symbolic on the table. Try to use only natural products and do not subject them to long heat treatment. Also, do not serve food with dyes or canned food.

Since the element of the coming Goat is a tree, it is advisable to use wooden dishes. If there is none, you can use some elements of wood, for example, a salt shaker or a bread box.

No matte toys, everything is just colorful and colorful. To add a little variety, you can make toys with your own hands. To do this, just enter the query "New Year's toys with your own hands" into the search engine. You can save money on buying new toys by transforming old ones yourself. Nobody canceled flashlights and rain, there should be a lot of them. The top of the Christmas tree should immediately catch the eye, so it should be large and bright.

After the Christmas tree, we decorate an apartment, a house. Lanterns, rain, beads, toys, artificial snow on the windows, snowflakes - everything is suitable here. The more you do, the better. Artificial snow on the windows is an original solution. If you don’t want to figure out what to draw yourself, you can print ready-made New Year’s stencils. Cut out snowflakes hang on the curtains, put on the Christmas tree, scatter around the house. With the help of lanterns, you can decorate the house both inside and outside. Think of the Home Alone movie series. Houses decorated with lanterns have a truly fabulous look. Let it turn out differently than in the movie, but still the idea will justify itself.

But how to make sure that guests do not get bored after a few hours? After all, you will not sit at the table all night and watch TV, where the Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath will be shown again. In order not to run into sad and bored guests, you need to prepare an entertainment program.

Theme party - the foundation of a fun celebration

The first thing that can add variety to the celebration is a theme party. When inviting friends and family, let them know that you need to come in costume. What is the theme? Well, of course, the New Year. Let friends and you put on a Christmas tree costume, Dogs, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden. You can, for example, abandon the theme of the New Year, and make a party in the style of the 80s, 90s, beat some series or movie. Guests who arrive without attire receive the costume prepared by the owner of the house at the entrance. It can be anything: a pink cap, a belly dance costume, a koshchei, and the like. This will be a kind of punishment for those who decided to ignore the themed outfit.

What party or celebration is complete without music? Turn on the fun New Year's music, it will give a festive mood and magic.

New Year's entertainment program

An entertainment program cannot do without games. If you are celebrating a holiday big company, then it is very good.
Set up a quest. No one has ever refused such a fun game. Hide some gift in your house or apartment, you can also outside the premises. Guests, using the clues found, must discover a gift. Who is the first, that and a gift.

Have a disco. If you have a private house, then you are more fortunate, loud music will not cause indignation of the neighbors. Disco can be turned into something more than just dancing. For example, for a disco, select a separate room, having previously prepared it. You can attach balloons to the ceiling, assign a number to each. During the disco, guests dance under the balls, the music stops, the DJ calls a lucky number. The person who stands under the ball with this number receives a prize. Prizes are loved by everyone, both children and adults. Therefore, such a competition will please everyone.

Play snowballs. If it suddenly happens that snow falls on the New Year, then such a case cannot be neglected. Go outside and have fun. Play snowball fights, make a snowman, play snow angels, go sledding, play tag, hide and seek.

The game "love - do not love." The guests sitting at the table name the part of the body that they love in the person sitting on the right and the part of the body that they do not like in the person on the left. After the participants have made their choice, the facilitator says "what you love - kiss, what you don't like - bite." Good mood and the sea of ​​laughter is definitely provided.

If all the guests came in pairs, then this can be used. For example, play the game "Unwrap the candy". Without the help of hands, the couple must unwrap and eat the candy.

Pins game. Couples take part. Pins are fastened to a girl or a guy, in a variety of places. The second member of the pair must, with his eyes closed, find and unfasten the pins. For the game, you can choose the musical accompaniment.
"Bottle". Here it is not necessary to kiss someone. You can play spin the bottle if you wish. Whoever the bottle points to, he fulfills the desire. Only desires should be serious, no need for crowing, jumping on one leg. Take advantage of the chance in full, let your imagination know no limits.

Before the chimes strike 12 and the New Year arrives, say your wishes to each other on next year. After the president's congratulations, go outside to launch fireworks. Without them, the holiday will not be a holiday. Spend the old year and welcome the new.

Of course, the New Year will not do without gifts. Sit in a circle and give each other Christmas presents. To make the process interesting and exciting, open them right away, thank each other, saying kind words.

Remember, wherever you celebrate the New Year, the main thing is to create a holiday atmosphere. Let the year Dogs will bring you only happiness and joy. May all your dreams and desires come true in the New Year, be supportive of people and you will succeed! Happy New Year!
