Hey! I absolutely love your ideas! I too am holding a party, and was stuck on what to do. This blog helped me so much! I’ve also thought of getting a whiteboard or chalkboard for everyone to write their New Years resolutions. We also have a tradition to send off Chinese lanterns (there is always one that lands in the neighbours garden ;)).
Thanks again for publishing this! I’m 11 and I LOVE this blog!
