Are you planning to ring in the new year as a newlywed? A New Year’s Eve wedding can be fun, but beyond that, you want your big day to wow. Make your day one to remember with these fun ideas for your NYE wedding!

Countdown Celebration

Start the new year as newlyweds by perfectly timing your ceremony. For a moment to remember, have your vows to finish right as the clock is counting down, and have your “kiss” in the first moments of the new year.

You can take this one step further by personalizing your end-of-the-year countdown. As the last minute of the year begins, have your journey as a couple playing as a slideshow in the background of a projected countdown. From there, enjoy watching how your love story began before your next steps!

Fireworks and Sparklers

This idea may be a given, but let’s mix it up a bit. Have a personal fireworks show in the same glowing colors of the theme of your wedding! You can even involve your guests by passing out sparklers that fit the theme.

Lounge into the New Year

Set up a space that says “classy but comfortable” so everyone can relax their way into the new year. Picture this: guests are sipping on personalized cocktails in cozy lounging chairs surrounding by an open-air dance floor as the countdown to the new year starts. Sending guests home with engraved cocktail mixers and a recipe for the drink of the night is an extra fun way to commemorate your special day.

Time Capsule

How about a fun activity your guests and you can enjoy years later? Set aside a special space with a time capsule for guests to fill with memories and moments to bury at the end of the night. If you’re looking for photos and small mementos, let your guests know before the wedding to bring a keepsake that reminds them of your love story!

PS: For a little extra fun, your loved ones can write guesses as to what you two will be up to a few years down the line. When you open it up, see who was closest to being right!

Black Tie Dress Code

A black-tie dress code for your NYE wedding can keep things classy and upscale. Although weddings often mean a more upscale dress code, it can be comforting for you and your guests to know what the “look of the night” will be. Plus, having a dress code can help set the NYE ambiance you want.
