Three more days left in 2014! What do you have planned for NYE? Do you like to go out or stay in to ring in the new year?
We like to stay home the night of New Year’s Eve, just our little family of four. In the past, we’ve made mac & cheese: traditional with bacon toppings for the kids, and lobster mac & cheese for me and my husband. I just realized as I type this that I have no idea what we’ll be doing for New Year’s Eve dinner. Hmm. I should get on that, eh?
But, I DO know what we’ll be doing for New Year’s Day.
Each year, we host a casual, open house-style New Year’s Day Pajama Party. It usually starts mid-morning (to allow those crazy midnight partiers to sleep in), and then goes into mid-afternoon. Kids are welcome, and pajamas are optional (but clothing is required, before you get any ideas).
This year, I made a few printables for our New Year’s Day party, but you can also download and print them out to use for New Year’s Eve as well.

New Year’s Eve Party Hat Printable
Party hats are so silly, but I am starting to think they are a party necessity. Nobody looks dignified in them, putting everyone on the same level silly playing field, and if they are too small for your head, all the better. I love them, especially on adults! They help add fun and playfulness to any party.

These are so pretty! I love the sparkles!
Thank you, Carmia! Gotta have sparkles on New Year’s ;)
Very cute! My parents have done a New Year’s Day “brunch” open house for the past 20-something years. Family, neighbors… annual big deal event! They don’t decorate with glitter, of course, but I love these for a daytime event including kids!
Love that your parents do a brunch on New Year’s Day, Suzannah! Although, I don’t foresee me ever NOT using glitter on New Year’s, no matter how old I get… ;)
So fun! I love the glittery goodness and how much fun incorporating these fun printables into New Year’s Eve parties will be. Thank you for sharing! PINNED!

What a great idea! I’ve never thought of doing a PJ party for New Year’s. I like that’s it’s laid back and relaxed. No pressing schedule, good stress relief for our busy lives.
Yes, we definitely like starting the year off with less stress and good friends and good food! :)
These are some cute ideas! We’re heading to a party on NYE, I may bring these with us!
Fun! If you did, I hope they went over well, Sara!

What a fun idea to have a party on new year’s day! I don’t think I’ve heard of that buy I might even like it better!
It’s a lot of fun, and perfect for kicking off the new year in laidback style :)
The Look back worksheet is such a great idea for a new years get together. You have such great ideas.
Thank you, Jenni!
Love these printables. I can never say no to glitter (especially when it is printed instead of sprinkled…then my husband doesn’t get mad!) Great work!
LOL – I do love that the glitter is printed as well, Jenni! Less mess ;) Although, I still have to have some real glitter for NYE…messy, but fun! :)
