Hosting a New Year’s Eve party or get-together doesn’t have to break the bank. If you’re looking to celebrate the end of an era with friends and/or family, here are some must-haves you can incorporate that are fun, festive, and affordable.
Invite your guests to ring in the New Year with a festive selfie. Black-and-gold New Year-themed masks, glasses, and hats, and a small foil backdrop are fairly simple and affordable but extremely fun additions to your party. You can also add this inflatable photo booth frame to make it even more unique. To save even more money, consider buying items that don’t feature the year so you can reuse them annually.
Foil Backdrop Price: $6.99 for a two-pack
Photo Booth Frame Price: $9.99
Who doesn’t like to yell “Happy New Year!” while exploding party poppers? You can choose from large launchers for outdoor celebrations or smaller, less expensive ones that are safe for indoor use. Although they’re fun, do be prepared to clean up the mess afterward!
Party Popper Price: $34.99 for a 12-pack
Even if you don’t have a photo booth at your party, you can give all of your guests a headband or hat with “Happy New Year” stamped on it to help celebrate the event. Your guests can wear these festive hats all night long while you party.
Headband Price: $9.96 for a set of 12
Hat Price: $31.79 for a set of two
