How to Properly Prepare a Festive Table for the New Year 2025

What will the year of the Dog bring us, at all times the Dog was near man and is still the most devoted friend. Dogs are more trusted than the closest people, they will not abandon or deceive.

The Year of the Yellow Earth Dog is the most favorable symbol. The table will be set for him with dishes to his taste, and the houses will be decorated in the appropriate style. We will talk about what dishes should be on the New Year's table a little later. First, let's talk about clothes, gifts, and the features of the coming year. How you meet the symbol of the year - so it will take care of you. Every detail plays an important role - for example, home decorations. Very special attention should be paid to gifts. A dog is a man's best friend, and we should appreciate and give our friends attention and care.

What is the best thing to wear for a festive table?

Last year we picked out the brightest, mostly red, to appease the Rooster, and we hung on a bunch of trinkets. This bully liked such outfits. Unlike him, the Dog is more modest and grateful, she will not tolerate anything extra, and will be more favorable if you wear discreet classics. Put all the short minis and deep necklines away in the closet, hide the bright and huge jewelry in a long drawer. It is better to save clothes with an abundance of glitter, rhinestones, sequins for the appropriate occasion. Give preference to the style of the year - "country", colors - green, yellow, brown.

You might think that the outfit will be strange. But believe me, strict lines and classic tailoring will add sophistication and restraint. The simpler, the better. You will have to forget the teenage disco style and become a bit of a high-ranking diplomat. This year's patroness does not like bullies and street punks. As for jewelry, this year you will be accompanied by semi-precious stones and golden amber. Wooden bracelets in the boho style, rings with aventurine inserts will also suit. You should beware of leopard and striped-spotted tones.

  • Country – the style of the year of the Dog. Malachite will be in fashion for the year. From the many shades of this stone, you can choose your favorite to your taste. As for stones, this year it is better to give preference to semi-precious ones. Otherwise, focus on gold, yellow, brown and gray colors.
  • Makeup It is also better to prefer a more modest one. Compared to last year, allow yourself a more calm image, add sophistication and elegance. Limit yourself to no brightness on your hair and hands.
  • Manicure On New Year's Eve, it is also better to do it in beige, pastel, natural colors. Classic French manicure will suit any outfit and all events.

Things are more complicated with the hairstyle. After all, everyone already has their own style and image, and tastes are very different. But, in order for the Dog to be favorable to you, try to "calm down" the storm on your head a little. Make the screaming colors a little quieter. Turn the punk comb into something more calm and classic. Update your haircut. If you have long hair, then this year is just for you. A huge variety of braids and ponytails in which you can gather your hair. Owners of short hair should not be upset. Hairsprays and styling mousses allow you to create a chic image in the style of the last century. It is not for nothing that they say that the new is well forgotten old? It's time to remember and apply.

How to decorate your home better

Now you can decorate the house. First of all, you need to figure out where the table for guests will stand. The peculiarity of the Year of the Dog is that it cannot be celebrated at the bar counter or at a buffet table. The most important attribute should be a large table, preferably round. Cover the table with a fabric tablecloth. Choose table decor so that snow-white plates with a gold rim stand on a brown background. It is better to take napkins without patterns and fold them in an original shape. If possible, decorate the room in in brown-yellow tones.

The Dog's favorite style is "country". Traditionally, you can hang fir branches around the house, decorate with gold ribbons and bows, but the main thing is not to overdo it. The windows should not be left without attention either - draw or glue snowflakes on the glass. If possible, you can light candles.

By the way, don't forget to put a big white candle in the center of the table. Light it on New Year's Eve and let it warm your dinner with the warmth of the fire.

How to celebrate the New Year

The dog will be calm about your fun, but it is better not to scare it with firecrackers and fireworks. It is very sensitive to noise. Decorate the outside of the house with golden New Year's balls, do not forget to hang a wreath of fir branches and cones on the door. Also attach a bell or a ringing bell, suddenly someone will come to visit you and bring gifts.

It is also recommended to hang golden balls in the center of the room directly on the chandelier. If the lighting in the house is done according to the latest fashion trends and there is no central chandelier, but only side lights, attach the balls themselves in the center. It will not be superfluous to decorate the walls in golden tones for symmetry. The Dog will also really like natural ones. If there are products made of wood or other natural materials made by hand, feel free to hang them.

What to treat guests with

For a beautiful round table in the center of the house and dishes must be prepared accordingly. We remind you, it is better to do without buffets and Swedish tables. But, what should be on the table on New Year's Eve?

From appetizers "Dog" loves meat very much - homemade sausage is perfect. Sandwiches or canapes are also better made with meat. It will also be good if you put a lot of meat dishes on the New Year's table - ribs, on the bone, boiled pork on skewers. When it is cut and can be taken in portions - very convenient. And after the evening, you can give the delicious bones to your four-legged friends at home.

For those who will celebrate the New Year somewhere outside the city or in nature, the main dish will be shashlik. But also do not forget about poultry and fish, the main thing is that it is boneless. There can also be many varieties of salads, despite the fact that the Dog loves meat, it will also approve of aromatic bread with spices.

For garnish You can also cook boiled potatoes, various porridges. It is not necessary to create portions. It is quite acceptable to make a central dish with meat and potatoes, the main thing is to decorate it all beautifully and organically with other vegetables.

From desserts You can also not limit yourself, because the Dog also loves sweets. Biscuit, crispy shortbread cookies, fruits, cream - everything your heart desires. The most important thing is to remember to decorate the New Year's dishes beautifully. But it is better to leave strong drinks for later. Give preference to light wines, original cocktails, because the Dog still loves restraint and elegance.
