The offer sounds tempting, except that the hassle of organizing this event will fall on your shoulders. To make the New Year's Eve a success, try to take into account the following nuances, which will facilitate preparation and save you from minor troubles.
It is necessary

- - contests, games;
- - music;
- - pillows and bedspreads.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on a more or less accurate guest list. This means not only the number of people, but also the persons themselves as individuals. After all, not all your friends are in harmony with each other. After the third glass, the tongues are usually "untied", and since it is still impossible to limit alcoholic drinks, it remains to curtail the circle of guests.
Step 2
Now you need to decide where you will celebrate the holiday, whose apartment, house, dacha, restaurant, club will be. If you are giving away your living space to be torn apart, choose yourself an assistant who will maintain order in every sense of the word. Be prepared that the number of people willing to help with the organization of the New Year will sharply decrease as the holiday approaches.
Step 3
Work with your friends to discuss your holiday budget. The menu and possible entertainment will depend on the final amount. Everyone should make an equal contribution (if not money, then food and drink).
Step 4
Distribute responsibilities. Assign responsible persons:
- for products;
- for music;
- for the tree;
- for games and contests;
- for gifts;
- for cleaning after the holiday;
- for decorations.
Step 5
Two weeks before New Years, call all guests and remind them of their responsibilities. Check if everything is in effect, if someone's plans have changed.
Step 6
A week before the holiday, decorate the apartment, set up a Christmas tree, hang garlands and snowflakes. Check your music equipment. At the same time, ask about your neighbors' plans for New Year's Eve. That is, do they have small children who can be disturbed by your disco.
Step 7
Stock up on pillows and bedspreads, and think about where you can put tired guests just in case. Do not forget about the trash bags and on the eve of the holiday, instruct your guests on how to use them, so that on January 1, you do not find banana skins in the bathroom, and cigarette butts in flower pots.
Step 8
Entertainment. A noisy company lends itself little to management, but you don't want someone to be sad, sort things out, or behave disgracefully. Think over the New Year's program, choose a host among the guests. Let him sit down the invitees, joke on time and offer toasts, remind of competitions and dances. Offer to take a walk after the chiming clock, set off fireworks, and play snowballs.
Step 9
The most important thing is your attitude. You, too, deserve a holiday, not a headache - do not forget about it. Try to distribute all responsibilities so that you have time for yourself: hairdresser, manicure and pedicure, a couple of hours of sleep at lunchtime. If something goes wrong, an unpleasant conversation, for example, or a conflict ensues, do not panic. Shoot down the arrogance from the bullies, take them to the rooms, offer to freshen up, as a last resort - ask to leave.
