What would make it extra "kick ass" over other weddings? I'm just interested to hear your thoughts. I'm pretty nervous!

Open bar not just beer and wine, prefer top shelf.  Full meal, awesome entertainment for dancing.  Some say band, I'm good with a great DJ. Snacks at midnight. Transportation to hotels (assuming it's not already in a hotel).

It might sound snobby, but I don't go out for NYE.  It's amateur night. Watching 2 friends/family getting married alone is not enough incentive so-to-speak to bet me out with all the crazies. If I'm going to go out on NYE I want all the bells and whistles to make me forget I'm up way past my bedtime and have to go home with drunks out on the road.

My nephew held his wedding on NYE.  In addition to all of the above, each table had noisemakers, hats, and headbands for guests to wear.  They had a great balloon drop at midnight.  A special champagne toast was also poured just prior to midnight.

That sounds really fun!

Wouldn't their actual anniversary be Jan 1?

Unlike PPDs I doubt anyone cares if you celebrate your anniversary on December 31st vice Jan 1st when you have a NYE wedding at midnight. That only matters for filing status. December 31st is the cutoff, so you need to get that I do in before midnight if you want to file together.
