What to do for New Year's Eve

renee428

DH and I are trying to figure out what to do for New Year's.  We live a state away from our families and all of our friends will be out of town for New Year's Eve.  We live in a small town about an hour from Savannah but we're not really party people yet we don't want to just sit around the house alone that night.  Any low-key or romantic suggestions?  We would travel somewhere if it wasn't too pricey.

We are laid back and like to stay at home.  We always make ourselves a dinner with appetizers only, watch movies and the NYE special.  You can get a lot of appetizers now frozen and pre-made. 

What about a local B&B, or does any hotels or banquet halls do NYE events?  (buffet, dancing and drinks).

This year we're doing New Years Eve with my mom, but once DH and I got a hotel room in Palm Springs (you could do this anywhere) and we spent the night there with a nice dinner, champagne, and an oversized in room hot tub.

We spent one New Year's at a cabin in Blue Ridge, GA, and it was fantastic! We did go with friends, but I imagine it would be fun and romantic with just the 2 of you. Our cabin had a hot tub, a pool table, and every other form of entertainment you can imagine (TV, DVD, xbox, etc)

We stay home and rarely even stay up until 12.

New Years Eve will be DH & my 1 year anniversary :-) We are headed to Burlington VT for 2 nights (about 3 hrs away). They have a huge 1st night celebration. You should check into local cities with 1st night programs. Good Luck

We always go out for dinner and then to a movie.

We are going to Gatlinburg.  The aquarium has a party there and the town also has a free family celebration (although that is outside  . . . .brrr. . . .).  Check out if any hotel rooms are available in Savannah.  I think it would be fun to just get away for an evening, go out to dinner and walk by the river.

We like to just stay at home as well.  We go a little crazier with junk food then we normally do.  I always have been so paranoid driving around new years with all the drinkers.  I am not one, but I don't feel safe on the road with a lot of them.  Who can complain about sitting in your warm home, in sweats, with a drink and mozzarella stick?!

My hubby and I just moved to Alabama from Statesboro this past January.  I loved Statesboro, but there isn't much to do. There is this restaurant downtown that is a little pricey Blue Moon Cafe'. You could go there for a nice late dinner and then come home and watch the  ball drop. I have never been there, but have always wanted to go. I have heard that it is fantastic and they usually do special things on holiday nights. They usually have a set price per person on holidays. You could at least call and ask about what they have going on

We like to get together with friends at one of our houses and bring appetizers, drink champagne, watch the ball countdowns and play games!  NYE is also a good time to get dressed up and go to dinner at a fancy restaurant!

Thanks for the tips.  I think we're going to stay local or go to Savannah but nothing too crazy so that we can save money. 

I've never heard of 1st night programs - what is that?

Blue Moon in the boro went out of business last year so we won't be able to go but there are other options we're considering.

 

Thanks again!
