She says it is simpler to plan a party for a certain number of people. “Less is more. This makes the planning and execution easier to manage.”
On her checklist? “Make sure you decide on a table setting. Black and gold are popular for NYE parties.”
Matlaisano also recommends having festive colours and decorations.
When it comes to catering, deciding on a number of people to attend your party will help you manage the food. “When you have a guest list, you’ll avoid over-catering. That way you won’t have a fridge full of leftovers.”
