Creating a memorable New Year's Eve party starts with properly preparing and sending your invitations. Since the night is filled with many celebratory opportunities from competing parties to watching the New York Time's ball drop on television, you must ensure your invitations are welcoming and offer sufficient information to make people choose your party over their other options.

You can opt for a formal evening with catered selections, or a low-key event for your closet friends. Be sure to match your guest list to the size of your home or party location for maximum enjoyment. Consider using a theme to enhance your party's atmosphere and make a budget to keep your spending on track.

Send out invitations to your New Year's Eve party at least one month in advance. Since there are many competing parties and events for this celebration, you want your guests to commit to your party before other offers arrive. Sending the invitations early can be a key to ensuring maximum participation.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWDymoM8uJw

Ensure your invitation convey the formality or casual nature of your party. Custom-printed or hand written invitation signals a more formal party, while an email, more generic invitation or a phone call will indicate a more casual atmosphere. Enhance the dissemination of your theme by your choice of wording on your invitation.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWDymoM8uJw

Ensure your invitation has all the necessary information your guests need to know about your New Year's Eve party. Include the theme, dress code, time, your address and contact information directly on the invitation. Be sure to include parking instructions on your invitation.

Confirm the RSVP details when party guests call to confirm their attendance. Consider offering information about your intended attire so that your guests will be able to accurately gauge their own wardrobe choices. Ask about any food limitations such as food allergies that could help you plan your party menu.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWDymoM8uJw
