New Years Eve Pictures

As the best night of the entire year for parties, New Year's Eve is a fabulous time to host a wedding. You can be sure that everyone will be dressed to the nines and ready to gave a great time! Thank your guests for coming to your wedding with one of these great ideas for New Year's Eve wedding favors.
Champagne is a popular part of many New Year's Eve celebrations, and it would be a great idea for a wedding favor. It would be a very swanky favor for a black tie wedding. Small splits of Champagne would be fantastic favors that your guests are sure to love. To make it even more impressive, hang a small strand of crystals around the neck of each bottle (almost like a crystal necklace for the Champagne - how festive!) with a message of thanks from the bride and groom. There are a few variations on this which would work very well, such as substituting sparkling wine or Prosecco for Champagne. A non-alcoholic sparkling cider would be another option, especially if you are likely to have underage guests or tee-totalers at your reception.

New Year Eve Clebration

A Happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.

Lunar New Year

As in all patriarchal societies, the Chinese throughout history have always preferred the birth of a baby boy to a girl. China has traditionally been an agricultural society, hence, in the past, having more boys meant that there would be more hands to work on the fields, which, of course brought in more money. Whereas the girls just stayed at home until they reached marriageable age – sixteen or seventeen – during which time they were considered to be just an expense on the family. In addition, according to Chinese custom, it was only boys that could inherit the ancestral property, and carry on the family business or farm. Hence, it is hardly surprising that the ancient Chinese devised a method of being able to predict the gender of the unborn child.

The Chinese Gender Predictor Chart, also known as the Chinese Lunar Calendar or The Chinese Birth Chart, is therefore considered one of the oldest methods of predicting the sex of a child before its birth. This 7,000-year-old chart, which is said to have been devised by an ancient Chinese scientist, was apparently discovered buried in a tomb near Beijing about 700 years back. At present, the original chart is in the Institute of Science in Beijing.

In recent times, the Chinese Gender Chart has also come into increasing use by the Chinese because of government policies that require couples to limit reproduction to a single child.
