With 2017 drawing to a close, people often focus on Christmas or other religious holidays that occur towards the end of the month. However, New Year's Eve is also right around the corner and often doesn't get planned early enough, as attention is focused on the other holidays.
Here is a list of three ways that you can potentially celebrate New Year's Eve, and remember - it's never too early to start planning. Doing so ahead of time can help secure a venue, guest list and price range before the rush and stress occur.
1. Go out to eat
With the new year approaching, it's important to consider making dining reservations early as these things tend to fill up. By now, a majority of restaurants should have their holiday or pre-fixed menus ready, so it's the perfect time to let your inner foodie start browsing cuisines, deals, and NYE specials.
2. Host an event, or attend one at a friend's house
Be it a party, a movie night, a potluck, or just a hang out, if you can be around your friends to bring in 2018, you definitely should. Now would be a great time to start either planning an event yourself, or hinting at your friends that you want to do something with them on December 31st. Doing so may be considerably cheaper than going out, and the guest list would only entail people whom you care about.
3. Go out!
With 2017 coming to a close, everyone will be looking for a way to celebrate New Year's Eve. Now is the perfect time to start looking, and even making reservations at places that may soon fill up and be unavailable. There are often deals, guest lists, and early bird specials so planning this early may end up saving you and your friends a lot of money, as well as guaranteeing you a spot wherever you would like to be.
