All That Glitters New Year's Eve Party

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I'm good and charged for this upcoming year! So many exciting things are going to happen! Can't wait...

My next party feature goes to this fun ALL THAT GLITTERS NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY submitted by Elise Butler of Sweet Scarlet Designs. Isn't the gold color scheme so pretty! I love all the sparkle and flair. This set is perfect for a New Year's Eve party- and can be created in no time by purchasing the printable party set here. 

Here is what Elise said about the party- "To capture the glittery warmth of a New Year's Eve celebration, I have created this "All that Glitters" Dessert Table & DIY Party Printable Set to welcome 2012.

Featuring a beautiful, gold bokeh design and teamed with warmly-themed food (and chilled champagne, of course!), this glittery feast sets the stage for a fun-filled celebration.

To add to the golden sparkle, I used a glittery wrapping paper for the table cover & cupcake wrappers.

Food & drinks included a warming Butterscotch Schnapps starter, tagged with personalized wine charm tags (you can personalize these yourself in the PDF file!). A mix of savoury & sweet foods followed including individual serves of Apricot & Almond Cream Cheese with Honey, served with crackers; Champagne Cupcakes, Brandy Snaps & a trio of Coffee, Vanilla & Chocolate Macarons.

Co-ordinating candy bar wrappers complete the look along with wine labels, bunting, favor tags and fill-in invitation to set the tone."

Vintage 20's Peacock Christmas Party

My next winning party feature goes to this stunning BIRDS OF A FEATHER + VINTAGE PEACOCK CHRISTMAS PARTY submitted by Jason Snyder of Hello My Sweet. Oh my goodness, this is absolutely amazing. I just love the vintage 20's retro vibe. The teal and gold couldn't look more elegant together. And who would have thought a peacock would be so beautiful as a Christmas party accent! Love it all.

Here is what Hello My Sweet said about the party- "In what seems to be the case as of late, the majority of our props for this party have come from an unusual location. At the start of the holiday season, Dollar Tree’s trim-a-tree décor was a literal treasure trove for our gold, teal and orange color scheme. It was there we found our champagne flutes, artificial fruit (spray painted gold and teal), 2 styles of gold gift wrapping, clear fluted edge votive candle bowls, bronze candle holders (turned into stands) and shiny gold gift boxes. Everything obviously only a dollar each there. For the wrapped Christmas gifts behind the center piece, we just used some empty cereal and fruit snack boxes. I was also able to utilize some of our old stand-bys like my custom made DIY cake stands underneath the charges to give them some height and our white IKEA tray. Even after all the crazy good finds I just mentioned, I think the best of the best (of the best) came from a wee tiny yard sale that we just happened upon, as most yard sale finds do. As we sped by it, I spied with my little eye a small brass birdcage. Price… $1. From Kroger, gold and teal jewel toned chargers ($1 each) that would serve as platters for some tasty treats. At our local Wal-Mart Supercenter, I was able to score the 2nd (of 2 great fabric finds) bolt of fabric ($5) that was like a bazillion yards long. I also found the purple and teal sheer and gold/white grosgrain ribbon from the crafts section at ($1 each). Jo-Ann Fabrics yielded a styrofoam cone ($7) for the awesome Rolo centerpiece, small golden holiday bells ($1), and gold beaded garland ($1). At Target’s dollar section I was able to find, almost hidden from me on the very bottom-most shelf, two golden colored metal buckets. Great as is, but even better after just tweaking them a bit with some turqouise spray paint.

We think our glitzy and glamorous take on the whole Peacock theme turned out stunning."
