As we said, the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to New Year’s party is to eat & drink. For this reason, the dining table should be the star of the night. The location of the dining table should be planned accordingly and other New Year decorations should be organized around the table. While the New Year decoration is being made, other areas in the hall should be a little simpler than the dining table.
