First Annual New Year's Eve-Eve Cocktail Party

I think I'm in love with the idea of throwing a cocktail party the night before New Year's Eve! It definitely takes the pressure off to have the perfect NYE. We celebrated the evening with good food, close friends and a couple rowdy games of Jenga.

I co-hosted with my lovely friend, Kat & the party was held at my place. I wanted to make use of my remaining Christmas decorations and add a little New Year's sparkle.
