New Year is a time when we want to celebrate with close family and friends, creating a pleasant atmosphere for everyone. However, sometimes among the invited guests, there may be those who will ruin the festive mood and add unnecessary stress.
RBC-Ukraine discusses six types of people you should avoid inviting to your New Year's celebration to ensure unforgettable and joyful moments for yourself and others.
People who constantly complain
People who are always complaining about life can significantly spoil the holiday atmosphere. Despite all efforts to create a festive mood, they won’t miss the opportunity to express dissatisfaction – whether it’s about the weather, work, or even the food.
We all face challenges from time to time, but New Year’s celebrations are not the time to discuss negativity. Such a person can quickly bring down the mood of the other guests and throw off the balance of the celebration.
It's better to save those discussions for another time to keep the holiday enjoyable and positive. If you know that someone in your guest list tends to complain constantly, think twice about inviting them.
People who try to steal the spotlight
Some people want to be the center of attention at all costs, even at the expense of others. They may deliberately interrupt others, speak too loudly, and often make up stories to draw attention to themselves.
At a celebration, it’s important that every guest feels comfortable and has a chance to engage in conversation. A person who constantly tries to interrupt everyone can not only tire the guests but also create a tense atmosphere.
For a smooth celebration, it’s important to have a balance in communication and give everyone the opportunity to speak. It’s better not to invite such guests to avoid disrupting the harmony of the festive gathering.
People who don’t respect personal boundaries
Disrespecting personal boundaries can be very unpleasant and even toxic at a celebration. These may be people who like to interfere in others' personal lives, give unsolicited advice, or fail to respect physical distance.
On New Year’s Eve, we want to enjoy the company of friends and family, not feel uncomfortable due to the rudeness of some guests. Respecting personal space and boundaries is key to creating a pleasant atmosphere at the celebration.
If you know that one of your guests consistently disregards these norms, it's better to think twice about inviting them. This will help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.

People who always want to argue
Sometimes at a celebration, you may come across someone who loves arguments and debates. They will be ready to prove their point, even on issues that don’t have a clear answer, and may not stop until they win the argument.
This can greatly ruin the festive mood and make other guests feel uncomfortable. New Year’s Eve should be about creating an atmosphere of harmony and relaxation, not tension and aggression.
If you know someone has a tendency to stir up conflicts, it's better not to invite them to avoid emotional strain. The holiday evening should be a time for joy, not controversial discussions.
People who can't control themselves
New Year celebrations are often accompanied by alcohol, and it's important for guests to enjoy the holiday in moderation. However, some people cannot control themselves and quickly lose their composure, leading to uncontrollable behavior.
This may include aggression, excessive clinginess, or simply awkward moments that ruin the atmosphere for everyone. People who cannot control themselves can cause significant trouble at the party, so it’s better not to invite such guests to avoid spoiling the mood for everyone.
People who don’t want to celebrate or ignore traditions
There are people who don't really enjoy celebrating the New Year or take it too lightly. They might come without a festive mood, ignore traditions, or even mock them.
Such people can create a feeling that the celebration is not important, which may disappoint those who have put in a lot of effort to create the festive atmosphere. If you want to host a celebration where everyone enjoys the traditions and has fun, it’s better to choose guests who support this spirit.
