No matter if the year has been great or not so great, tradition compels us to celebrate New Year’s Eve. It’s considered to bring bad luck if you don’t kiss someone on the last stroke of midnight In the United States. In France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Latin-American countries, good luck is brought by eating grapes, raisins or lentils with the strike of each bell… Whatever the tradition, it’s clear that this celebration is loaded with superstitions and is worthy of celebrating with a good get together.

If you’re going to organise a New Year’s Eve party at your venue, here is some advice that Marta Bofill has shared with us, so that no detail will be missing. Marta is the events organiser in Petiteven.

The winning checklist:

To get a festive effect, combine golden and silver colours in the tablecloth, silverware and tableware. Our Allure range is ideal for this glossy ambience.

The Current Tendency:

Rustic decorations such as a chocolate colour tablecloth with tablemats in natural kraft White Trees, matched with golden or silver tableware is the trendiest style this year.

The Christmas center piece for your table is decisive in giving a touch of style. The latest trend is using glass vases, fishbowls or transparent vessels and filling them with Christmas baubles or a thread of luminous garlands.

Don’t forget that the New Year’s Eve party must be glittery! Use glitter, shiny confetti and metalised balloons in your decorations.

An idea:

• If you want to stand out for the originality of your decorations, refill transparent balloons with golden confetti or glitter and inflate them with helium. It will create an ambient that your clients won’t forget.
• Place the grapes in elegant organdy bags with a satin ribbon, will keep everything in the decoration harmonic. Also, you can even offer refreshing wipes in a festive design that will maintain the style with your table layout.

The essentials:

• Glasses are going to have an important role during the night. Those with golden or silver injected plastic are a good solution for their quality and rigidity, and they will last the whole
• A party novelty bag is what everybody expects. Garcia de Pou was the first company in introducing them to the market on the peninsular, and we have been offering the widest variety for more than 50 years.

An added value:

• The music. Get a good DJ or get advice from a professional to create a great list of tunes.
• A giant screen for the grand moment of midnight will also create a special ambience.
• A snack at dawn. Fritters with hot chocolate are a classic in Spain, which you can offer in paper cones and insulated cups. But you can also offer crêpes, warm sandwiches, chips, hot dogs or croquettes. Your clients will be grateful for them.

We have prepared a checklist that you will find in our Facebook, Instagram, Google + and Pinterest that we hope will help you to have everything under control.
