1
String white lights (on a white cord) across your ceiling like you would streamers. Leave enough slack so that in the lowest places, the wire hangs about 2 feet above people's heads (or higher if you are concerned about people jumping up and down and/or waving their arms in the air at midnight).
-
2
Tie party favors, hats and noisemakers to pieces of ribbon, and tie them to the wire so that they dangle down. Make some low enough for people to reach, and others high enough to stay put as decorations.
-
3
Use black plastic top hats as serving dishes and fill them with chips, pretzels and other snack food.
-
4
Fill large margarita glasses with mixed nuts and M&Ms.
-
5
Put black cloths on your tables and then spill silver confetti around serving dishes. Tie the cloths to table legs with silver ribbon. Accent with metallic silver and gold plates, cups, napkins and silverware.
-
6
Blow up a few dozen silver and black balloons. Pile them up in corners and let them drift around as people move about your home.

Tips & Warnings
Instead of stringing lights across the ceiling, you could fill large balloons with helium and attach party favors to them.
Synchronize several clocks with the official time before the party starts, and make sure they are in plain view so that you have time to prepare for the big countdown.

Another great tip is to find out what animal will be representing the next year on the Chinese calendar then feature that animal in your decor. For example: During the year of the pig you could give mini piggy banks as party favors, have a piggy bank wishing well, or integrate the animal however you like. -
