If you're considering a festive New Year's Eve wedding, here are the 5 things you‘ll want to consider to ensure your celebration is unforgettable for everyone in attendance.
Send the Save the Date Early
New Year's Eve is an ever more popular season for weddings and it's also a time of year where people are traveling and enjoying a few days off for vacation or family.
That said, if you want to get married on New Year's Eve, it‘s essential to make your wedding reservations well in advance, potentially more than the typical 12 months, to be safe.
Notify your guests so that they can set aside the date and that they don't make other plans. This rings especially true when you have a destination wedding, it's essential that your friends and loved ones make flight and hotel reservations well in advance.
Confirm Service Hours
On New Year's Eve, many providers don't work normal hours. Some places may want to deliver early in the day or have the evening off, and occasionally photographers don't work after midnight. Be sure to confirm the service hours offered by providers so you don't run into any last-minute surprises. Some wedding providers may charge extra for staying longer at the wedding or for offering their services on a holiday.
Children? Consider Hiring a Babysitter
New Year's weddings usually end very late. If your wedding will include children, you may want to consider hiring a babysitter who can take care of them until the wee hours of the morning so all the parents can enjoy the party longer without worries.
Plan a Memorable Countdown
Honor the traditional in style with a glamorous New Year's Eve celebration and plan a group countdown. Decorate the reception tables with party accessories and noise makers, hats and streamers.
Ask the waiters to deliver champagne glasses to all the guests a few minutes before midnight so that everyone can raise a glass of bubbly for the new year that's about to begin.
