Are you hosting a New Years Eve bash tonight? If so, here are some last minute New Year’s Eve party safety tips.

6 New Year’s Eve Party Safety Tips

How Are Guests Getting Home?

  • Put someone in charge of getting everyone home safely.
  • Pull up Uber or Lyft apps. Also, check locally. Many offer free transportation on New Year’s Eve.

Monitor Alcohol Consumption

  • Offer non-alcoholic drink options.
  • Be sure to provide plenty of water.

Food Safety

  • Keep perishable foods at safe temperatures.
  • Don’t take chances with food susceptible to contamination. As much as I love sushi, leaving it out for hours on the food table might not be a good idea.

Fireworks Safety

  • Check regulations regarding fireworks in your area.
  • If using fireworks, maintain a safe distance and have a fire extinguisher ready.

Emergency Preparedness

  • Have local emergency contacts handy.
  • Keep a first aid kit accessible for minor injuries.

Stay Aware

  • Keep an eye on guests and be prepared to take action if someone appears overly intoxicated.
  • Be ready to handle unexpected situations by calling on reliable guests at the start of the party to be prepared to help.

By planning and taking a few precautions you can have a wonderful gathering and a safe and happy New Year.  wish you and yours a prosperous, healthy, and Happy New Year!
