New Year’s Eve Detroit at The Motor City Gala

How To Plan The Perfect

Detroit New Years Eve Out On The Town

Start Planning Early. This is 100% the most important thing you can do to ensure a flawless New Year’s Eve. From purchasing tickets to making an appointment at a local salon for the days preceding NYE – the early bird gets the worm!  Many venues and events offer discount rates if you purchase tickets to their New Year’s Eve party early. Ticket prices tend to increase as we get closer to the date, so plan early and reap the benefits! Further saving can be accrued by purchasing tickets in bulk, so start organizing your group of friends ASAP to take advantage of group rates. If you are hoping to secure a hotel room for New Year’s Eve it is vital that you reserve early. Locations will be filling up fast once December hits. Visit NYEDetroit.com for a concise list of NYE parties and hotels in Metro Detroit.

Save Money Where You Can. If you’re in the market for a fabulous New Year’s Eve outfit, keep an eye out for sales. Both local boutiques and national retailers will be running plenty of sales throughout the holiday season. Check out retailmenot.com for updates on sales and coupons.

Scout Out Pinterest For Ideas. Pinterest is chock-full of clever and creative ideas for every facet of New Year’s Eve. Want to learn how to do the perfect smoky eye or find the perfect sequin dress? Look to Pinterest to take your NYE to the next level.

Plan A Pre-Party. Get a group together for dinner and drinks before heading out for NYE or invite everyone to your place for appetizers and cocktails (check Pinterest again for festive and fun recipes). From there you can carpool or grab an Uber/Lyft/Taxi as a group.

Stock Up On Afterparty Snacks. To combat a New Year’s Day hangover, take the time to stock up on plenty of snacks and hydration.  Planning your munchies ahead of time can also help combat overindulging in junk food. Fill your fridge with fresh veggies, fruit, and a case of Gatorade. Or throw a couple of frozen pizzas in your freezer and call it a day.

Secure Your Midnight Kiss. If you’re interested in someone, now is the time to ask them to join your New Year’s Eve entourage before they make plans.
