Are you wondering what to do for December 31st? Here is an 8 point plan to arranging a great night out for you and your loved ones.
1. The first thing is to make sure you do what you want to do. If that means staying in and watching Jools Holland, then that's what you should do. If you're going somewhere under protest, you're unlikely to have a great time.
2. The next thing to sort is who you're going to spend New Year's Eve with. They say that this will be who you'll spend the year ahead with, so choose wisely! The most important thing, however, is to make sure you spend the night with friends or family who you like and will help create a great night.
3. If you are hitting the town, then you need to decide on the venue you're going to. Since the turn of the millennium, moving from bar to bar on New Year's has not been as common thanks to many establishments having a 'ticket only' policy. If you intend to go to a ticket only bar or club, then you may want to get it booked up quickly to avoid disappointment.
4. One of the most important things to sort out for the big night is transportation. Unless one of your group decides to drive, you may need to get a taxi to and from the venue. These book up very early, while others will charge a higher price that night, so shop around and make a decision nice and early.
5. An alternative to taxis is to stay in accommodation close to the venue. This can be expensive, but is highly convenient and may help make the evening more special. Again, it's important to get in early before they're fully booked.
6. Another thing to consider is whether you and your friends want food during the evening. This may be provided at the venue, either in addition to or as part of your ticket price. On the other hand, you may want to book a table somewhere else on the way to your venue, so you can relax before the festivities begin.
7. You'll obviously want to look your best for New Year's, which may involve buying a new dress or suit. If so, you may want to start looking now to avoid a mad rush between Christmas and December 31st. Alternatively, many sales will have started during that window, so it may be easier to find a bargain.
8. To complete your look, you may want a new hairstyle. That means getting an appointment at one of the busiest times of the year for salons. If you can't get an appointment with your usual hairdressers or want to try somewhere different, possibly extra special, for the occasion, then you are going to need a list of salons in your area.
For example, if you need to find hairdressers in Cardiff, why not use a local business directory to draw up a list of potential salons?
Likewise, a directory can help if you need to find bars in Cardiff that may be suitable venues for you to go to.
