Good Morning! Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday (whatever you celebrate!). It’s amazing how instantaneously the whirlwind of Christmas halts and how quickly we move right along to New Years! Having people over for New Years is always a blast, but because it falls immediately after Christmas, I think its in everybody’s best interest to just keep it simple. So I have a sneaky little DIY that will take 5 minutes and make your table spread instantly Instagrammable. And who doesn’t love that? DIY: 2016 NYE Party Table Sign To let you in on a little secret, this 2016 “sign” is actually composed of house address numbers. And where are they from? Home Depot, you guys. (Or if you don’t want to get out of your PJ’s, buy them on Amazon Prime here.) Yep, they just need a coat of spray paint and they’re ready to party. Add champagne, macarons, some tunes, and boom, so are you! So here’s what the numbers look like straight out of the package. If silver is your jam, you can totally use the numbers as is.

New Years Eve Dreaming

Last year, Ken and I threw a big New Years Bash with lots of balloons, silly hats and the quintessential NYE noise makers. This year, we’re looking forward to a much more low key evening: a night à la maison with another couple, Cards Against Humanity, and a little champagne to go around. Though we’re taking it easy this year, there’s no harm in doing a little dreaming as to what I would do if we were to host a party, is there? Below is the visual inspiration for the the party I’m throwing…in my dreams, of course. 7. Tassle Garland, 6. Empress Dress + Torch Lake Bib Necklace, 5. Hermes Tray + Bar, 4. Sparkling Moonriver Pumps, 3. Oysters, 2. Mini Pinata Bowties, 1. Sparkler Macarons at Midnight
