New Year's Eve Celebration

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

Personalize the evening with glass tags and monogrammed napkins. Include a menu card to entice guests’ appetites. And as a new twist to a traditional place card, use ring tags that can be found at a crafts or office-supply store.

Script each guest's name with a colored, thin-tip marker. Holiday metallic silver napkins are monogrammed with the hosts’ last initial by a local specialty embroidery shop. And menu card material can be quickly assembled using the wide array of cardstock.

Hostess Tip: So luscious and soft, a cloth of ultra suede in an eggplant hue is a unique backdrop for a dinner setting. Even if you're not a seamstress, this table topper can be easily sewn from just a few yards of fabric. Ultra suede fabric can be purchased at many fabric stores. This polyester faux leather should be treated with a fabric protector to help with spills and cleaned according to manufacturer’s instructions.
