We always like to spend New Year’s Eve with our children, so we often plan a night of family fun. This year, we have invited another family over to share the celebration and we are ordering Chinese food. We usually ring in the New Year around 7 o 8 pm so that the kids can join in the fun without staying up way past their bedtime. Our teenage daughter is planning to go out with her friends, but she will be eating New Year’s Eve dinner with us and hanging out for a bit before she heads out with her friends.
I am hoping to inspire you with our simple New Year’s Eve table which I quickly and easily put together with things from I already had. I decided on a traditional colour scheme of white, gold, silver and black. I took a white ceramic tray and created this arrangement of candles and ornaments. I tied black ribbon around the candles for a festive touch and to tie the colour scheme together. I’m sure if you checked around the house, you could probably gather up gold & silver items to create a pretty tablescape as well!
I got out black & white straws for the martini glasses and added a gold paper doily underneath for a pop of colour. I also tied white napkins together with noise makers using white & black ribbon and added 2 gold-wrapped Ferrero Rochers chocolates to each plate for a treat. {I had the chocolates already in the house for Christmas.}

So festive and pretty yet totally do-able! Hope you have a great evening with your family and friends and all the best in 2013!

Very pretty! I love how the touches of black really add a bit of glam to the gold, white and neutrals. Your guests are going to love it and the evening sounds like fun. We do something similar with my sister's family here at our home (they only live two streets away.) Lots of finger foods, veggies and dip, taco dip and desserts. We usually don't make it till midnight though.
everything is SO pretty! I love the gold and black. It's the scheme I wanted to go with this year:) We do the same thing on New Years except in my case the kiddos stay up until midnight to ring in the new year;)
That turned out sooo pretty! I especially love the colors!
We head to a hotel with the kids. We hijack the pool area and order pizza for dinner!
It looks so pretty. The sparkly gold and silver add lots of glam. I hope you have a lovely evening. We are going to the cottage and will be toasting the new year with some munchies surrounded by the snowy woods.
I love New Year's Eve parties, very pretty ideas. I'm a new follower.
