Probably around 9:30 or 10:00, for a late nite party. Right after dinner for a midnight party.

9:00 is perfect. Everyone has probably gone out for dinner or eaten already so you don't have to make much food. The amount of time to wait is good, gives 'em a chance to relax & have a cocktail or some champaigne (get 'em in a festive mood!). You could make it a champaigne & dessert party with a beautiful fruit & dip (like chocolat) platter & some beautiful bakery bought little (like finger food) pastries. Maybe some sorbet. Someboby stop me!! Happy New Year!!!!

It depends on what kind of activities you are hosting.
We always have a bunko/karaoke party, to get the game done at a reasonable hour, we begin at 7:00. If you are doing appetizers and mingling, I would start at 8:00. If you're just have cocktales and ringing in the New Year, 9:00.

If you're serving food: 8 PM
Other than that: 9 PM. That way people have time to "party" without having time to get totally trashed and passing out before the ball drops (or worse: throwing up on your carpet/posessions).

I would say 10 pm. It's the perfect time because it's not too much time before midnight but enough time to party and allow people to come in late.

I think 8 is good enough, people can have a little food bfr they start drinking, have plenty of snacks and not a lot of alcohol so everyone would be OK by 12!

Around 8 is perfect. That way if you have people who want to get home to family or children, they can still socialize & not be out too late, plus your die hard partiers will stop by for a while, then hit the clubs!!

Around 8 or 9 is good, so you can get settled in, and have some drinks or food before it gets too close to midnight.
