New Year's Eve Party on a Budget

Head to your favorite holiday headquarters (I enjoy Target and Michaels) and pick out some shimmery silver and gold glass balls, by now most of the holiday decor is 1/2 off or more. You can put them in a vase you already have and make a beautiful centerpiece.

When purchasing your paper goods, instead of buying New Year's Eve 2010 paper plates, napkins and cups, opt for silver, gold and black ones, so you can use any extras another time. If you plan ahead you can usually get them on sale at your local party store. New Year's Party Kits and Patterned Tableware are on sale at Party City.
White lights and paper luminaries are an easy way to make your party sparkle. Use them to light up walk ways and give your guests a taste of what's inside. Holiday lights are also usually included in after Christmas sales, so now is the time to buy.
If you have a little more time, these icy luminaries are a great twist on traditional luminaries. The instructions can be found at DIY Maven.

Here are some other cute party ideas I found at Hostess with the Mostess.

Now is the time to shop for party decor and supplies. Pick a theme and head to your local stores, anything that sparkles and shines is perfect for a New Year's Eve party.

Happy New Year!
