New Year's Eve Party Planning: Celeb-Inspired Ideas From Designer Samantha Pynn

The Huffington Post Canada     First Posted: 12/28/11 09:03 AM ET   Updated: 12/28/11 09:03 AM ET

Not all New Year's Eves parties are created equal. Some people want to go all out, while others just want to kick back and relax with a few good friends (or a few good drinks).

Since there's no one formula to concoct the best New Year's party, we asked designer and stylist Samantha Pynn, of HGTV's 'Pure Design', for some inspired ideas.

And since everyone loves a bit of celeb watching, we asked Samantha: What should Kim Kardashian do as a single lady? What would Brad and Angelina do as a couple? And, most importantly, what would young Suri Cruise do to ring in the new year?

Check out Pynn's suggestions on making this New Year's Eve memorable in the slideshow below. If you have an idea for hosting an epic New Year's party, let us know on Twitter.

If you want to do it like Kim Kardashian, you'd better start eating right now and maybe you can fill the trunk by Saturday.

Who wants to party like a so-called "Celeb" on New Year's Eve? I sure don't.

My life is full and rich already, 24/7, and I'll really celebrate when I see Jesus Face to face!

Celebrate NEW YEARS EVE 2012 with Z-Trip and DJ Craze
New Years Eve is going to be here before you know it and there's one Party in San Francisco that everyone will be talking about. Voted "Best Event of 2012" (Under 8000 attendees) by the San Francisco, California Music & Culture Association and the #1 NYE on the West Coast by Huffington Post.
We welcome you to take a step back in time to the prosperous Roaring 20's and let your inhibitions loose at San Francisco's newest venue, Per Diem. Tucked away in the commercial District, Per Diem is a 2 level speakeasy that is the perfect setting to enjoy sf new years eve parties with your closest friends. Inspired by Gatsby's elaborate parties in the masterpiece by F. Scott Fitzgerald, we will be re-creating the secret "West Egg" soirees that were paid for with prohibition-fueled bootlegger money.
