Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Rummage through your closet for old costumes and visit resale stores for wild hats and accessories to create a collection of “New Year's Eve” wardrobe essentials in which guests can masquerade. Think masks, wigs, crazy sunglasses, bunny ears, devil horns, hats, feather boas, colored fake eyelashes, etc.

  2. Step 2

    Display them on a large tray or table and invite guests to peruse the collection prior to the midnight madness.

  3. Step 3

    Display masks, wigs and hats on styrofoam heads (the kind you find at beauty supply houses), pillar candle holders or statues.
