8 New Year’s Eve Party Decoration Ideas

Whether you want to keep things simple and elegant or throw a bold celebration your guests will never forget, hosting a successful New Year’s Eve party is all about the details. Add a festive touch with any of these classy NYE decorations.

1. Drapery

Drapery is a classy way to transform your event venue to match your NYE party theme and colors. Drape unique or custom fabric on the walls to build a backdrop for photos, create an elegant faux ceiling with flowy fabric, or section off large and open spaces to make the venue more intimate.

2. Lighting

Even though a New Year’s Eve party goes past midnight, your guests shouldn’t be celebrating in the dark. Twinkling lights, string lights, Edison lights, disco balls, chandeliers—lighting sets the mood for indoor or outdoor parties.

3. Glassware, Flatware, & Chargers

Are you hosting a sit-down dinner, offering guests a buffet-style spread, or sharing small plates? Choosing the right glassware, flatware, and chargers will elevate the sophistication factor of any NYE party. And when it comes time to raise a glass at midnight, make sure your guests have chic glassware to drink to the new year.

4. Linens

Nothing says “classy” like high-quality linens—they turn any venue into a gorgeous, elegant party space. From tablecloths, runners, and skirts on tables to ties, sashes, and pillows for the furniture, choose custom and unique linens that match your New Year’s Eve theme and draw the attention of your guests.

5. Dance Floor

What’s an NYE party without dancing? It’s the best way to celebrate the year with loved ones. Whether your New Year’s Eve party is inside or outdoors, rent a dance floor so your guests can boogie the night away. Want it cheetah print? We can do custom wrapped dance floors too!

6. Bar

Champagne is a New Year’s Eve tradition, so a portable bar or beverage station is essential for creating a festive atmosphere. Stock it with your favorite beverages and mix-ins—and don’t forget to decorate it in streamers and confetti.

7. Stage

Make sure everyone can see the band or DJ that is playing in the new year for your guests by renting a stage – our stages are modular to fit any space!

8. Tents

Just because NYE is mid-winter doesn’t mean you can’t hold a party outside. Host an outdoor New Year’s Eve event with a beautiful tent. Party tents come in a variety of styles and are stocked with heaters to ensure your guests are comfortable as they celebrate.

Renting vs. Buying: How to Get the Best NYE Decorations
