The next New Year's celebrations are just around the corner, and these days you want to give yourself and your loved ones a little bit of magic. Like true sorcerers, you should take care of your magic wand in advance, and replace boring gatherings at a full table with a truly interesting celebration. It's time to think about how to celebrate the New Year 2017, so that both you and your loved ones will remember with pleasure the time spent together, and the year itself will be fun and successful.

Reign of the Fire Rooster - what to wear to meet the owner of the year

In 2017, the Red Monkey will resign and pass the baton to the Fire Rooster. The inconstancy and eccentricity of one is not much inferior to the activity and colorfulness of the other, so next year it will definitely not be boring. And in order for you to be lucky during this period, you need to try very hard: the vain Rooster loves when people pay attention to him and try to respect his whims.

Bird symbolizing next year, loves everything bright and red, so it’s easy to earn her favor with a spectacular New Year’s outfit in scarlet, purple or burgundy. It could be like fashionable dress, and a stylish suit, but their catchiness and eccentricity will delight the young Rooster. However, he is not alien to good taste, and you shouldn’t go overboard with diversity: all the details need to be thought through and agreed upon among themselves.

Even a simple red dress looks impressive

But what about those who don’t like red or don’t like it? It is quite possible to wear clothes of a different color, which is among the favorites of 2017 - yellow and its various shades. It is recommended to add brightness through the shine of expensive flowing fabric - brocade, velvet, silk. It is permissible to wear even a delicate pastel dress, but then it is better to decorate it with one of the following elements:

• gold jewelry or jewelry;
• shiny bow on the hat;
• sparkling rhinestones on the train, belt, neckline of the dress;
• a fur cape and even a feather boa.

Extravagance can be added to the outfit with handmade elements - a scarf, embroidery, brooch, hair clip. It would be great if in this case they are made in the shape of a rooster. What you shouldn’t depict is predators - for example, foxes or wolves. It is also risky to celebrate the Year of the Rooster in clothes whose print will remind him of the cat family.

What can and cannot be served at the holiday table

As you know, the favorite dishes of the feathered symbol of the year are wheat grains. Of course, there is no need to treat guests with them, but placing a beautiful bowl of rice or millet under the tree will be a symbolic invitation to the Rooster to come into this house and bestow good luck on him. As for the feast, vegetables and flour products, seafood and fish should prevail among the dishes, but chicken meat and deviled eggs, it’s better to forget.

But the fashion that has already become a tradition is to decorate dishes in the form of a symbol of the year - the Rooster, for example, can be placed on any salad of multi-colored sweet peppers. Instead of regular bread, it’s appropriate to treat guests to freshly baked cockerels with sesame seeds, and for dessert serve buns of the same shape, but with sweet filling. In general, at least one symbol should remind everyone gathered of who will rule this year.

What to cook with meat if guests do not support fasting and want to properly enjoy something tasty? Recipes with pork and beef will come in handy here, but for the New Year you can stock up on a more outlandish variety of meat, which, even with the simplest processing and serving, can surprise guests with its unusual taste:

• ostrich - dark red meat tastes like young veal, and can be prepared by just marinating it for 15 minutes in a mixture of red wine and olive oil(2 tablespoons per 250 g), baking for about 20 minutes at a temperature of 210 degrees;
• Venison is quite tough meat, so stews made from it turn out delicious, for example, beef stroganoff with mushrooms or roast with sweet and sour berries;
• Python meat is the most exotic dish that can either entertain your guests or repel them, so you need to be careful with it, despite its delicate, refined taste.

However, if you don’t want to experiment, there is no need to treat people unusual dishes. The rooster is a domestic creature, which means it is not picky about food, and you can put your favorite family salads on the table.

Home meeting in Hollywood style

If you are confident in the support of your guests, you can have fun even at home. For example, hold the meeting itself like an Oscar ceremony, where everyone will receive star status. The organization of such a party should be started long before the day comes to celebrate the New Year 2017, but the guests will definitely remember it.

Oscar-winning photo shoot of friends on New Year's Eve

The red carpet laid out in front of the house will help you immerse yourself in the starry atmosphere even before the start of the holiday. Having barely taken the first step, guests are attacked by annoying “correspondents” (this can be the hosts or those who came earlier) with typically “Hollywood” questions like “What is the recipe for your success?” or “Would you like to change your gender?”

Of course, the spotlight (camera with flash), filming against the backdrop of a huge poster and tantamaresque with images of actors will only enrich the ambience. It’s probably not worth serving hearty dishes at a party of this format. The best option – buffet table with the “Hollywood” menu:

• canapés, slices, cupcakes, mini-burgers;
• grill menu with small pieces of meat and vegetables;
• classic cocktails – “Mojito”, “ Blue Lagoon", "Margarita";
• mini-desserts – meringues, macaroons, sorbets.

Buffet menu for slender mega-stars

After satisfying the first hunger, you can invite guests to have fun by taking part in thematic competitions:

• “Talent casting” – several people become judges, and several more are introduced as young performers; their task is to make a lasting impression on the judges, who, in turn, try in every possible way to find curious flaws in the performance.
• “I don’t recognize you in makeup” - the invitees try to guess which famous person is “made up” using colored felt-tip pens in the photo, which were previously distributed to the team of “make-up artists”.
• “Budget sound engineer” - the participant is invited to voice a film with the sound turned off using any available objects.

The climax of the Year of the Rooster is the award for the best outfit or spectacular dance. And, of course, the best reward is rave reviews from guests about an unforgettable holiday.

Even such a bright and important holiday as the New Year can be celebrated cheerfully and on a budget. To do this, you only need the warmth of loved ones, their smiles and good mood. Spend the New Year 2020-2021 with your family without extra costs and at the highest level!

When choosing an outfit for the New Year, girls should stick to one thing: important rule– “maximum fiery shades, minimum artificial materials" In terms of style, asymmetrical dresses and suits with a sufficient number of accessories will be relevant. Jewelry should not only emphasize the chosen image, but also complement it. Men can opt for casual sets of ripped jeans and loose-fitting T-shirts. Strict pretentious suits with ties and office shirts will be completely inappropriate this year.

We carefully select the list of dishes for the feast so that the meal includes everything that is most delicious and appetizing - something that you cannot treat your family to on an ordinary weekday. And if the annual feast puts forward a lot of conditional rules and prohibitions for the housewives, then this year they have the right not to limit their impulses. Meat dishes, seafood, fish, light snacks and hearty salads, fluffy desserts, pastries - all these delicacies will certainly please the Fire Rooster. Only unnatural products, semi-finished products, factory-made sausages, chicken meat and too fatty delicacies are best left for other occasions. The menu for the New Year of the Rooster 2017 should be both light and satisfying, refined and natural, simple and at the same time tasty.

Keep in mind: the Fire Rooster has a drinking problem. His cocky, violent and conflicting nature under the influence of strong alcohol can ruin not only your holiday, but the entire 2017. You should not include strong alcoholic drinks on the menu - vodka, cognac, brandy and whiskey. It’s better to celebrate the New Year by complementing delicious food with sweet cocktails and light dessert wines. Carbonated water must be replaced with natural drinks - juice, compote, fruit drink, etc. Knowing what the menu should be for celebrating the New Year of the Rooster 2017, any housewife can easily decide what can be prepared and how to properly serve the finished goodies.
