WORDING, TIMING AND TIPS

Before you send it.

New Year’s Eve is the one party where everyone already knows the date, which is exactly why your invitation needs to go out early. Guests often have several options, and the invitation is your pitch: a glittering cocktail party, a cozy dinner that ends at midnight or a games night with the ball drop on TV.

Cover the late-night logistics too: whether you’re serving dinner, whether guests can stay over and how they’ll get home. Replies arrive with party sizes, so you know how many glasses to chill.

What to include

  • Start time, and whether the party goes past midnight
  • Address, plus transport or rideshare tips
  • Dress code: black tie, sparkle or pajamas
  • Food: dinner, snacks or “bring a bottle”
  • Whether kids are welcome for an early countdown
  • An RSVP date

When to send it

Send New Year’s Eve invitations four to six weeks ahead, ideally right after Thanksgiving. Many guests settle their New Year’s plans in early December.

Questions, answered.

When should I send New Year’s Eve invitations?

Four to six weeks ahead. Late November or the first week of December gives guests time to reply before they commit elsewhere.

How do I help guests get home safely?

Mention rideshare, nearby parking or overnight options in the message. If you’re serving alcohol, mention the non-alcoholic drinks too.

What’s a Noon Year’s Eve party?

A daytime countdown at noon for families with young children: all the fun of midnight without the late bedtime.
