New Years Day Party

New Years Day Cozy Snacking 

** This post was made possible by products given to me by Oriental Trading in exchange for styling a party.  I only work with companies I already purchase products from. **

New Years Day is all about being lazy for us.  Sleeping in, lounging around in fleece pants and snacking all day.  While the outside is not frightful, it's actually quite pleasant for January, I'm still feeling the cozy plaid feeling.  So when I set up this mini snack table I used my plaid table linen from my Christmas tree farm party.  And since we didn't get any snow this year I brought the snow feeling in by using a furry table runner and wintery cups and platter from Oriental Trading. 

These ceramic sweater mugs bring that winter cozy feel to your hot chocolate.  Top your cocoa with whipped cream, marshmallows and a peppermint stick, throw on a movie and get comfy on the couch.  Sounds like a perfect way to spend New Years day to me. 

 If you're like a lot of people and stay up until midnight on New Years Eve you probably want to sleep in on New Years day.   To help make a mini party easier on you take some short cuts by buying store bought cupcakes and dressing them up with wrappers and toppers.  Wrappers and toppers can make such a difference to the look of store bought cupcakes for very little money and effort.

Always be on the look out for deals on versatile party items.  While grocery shopping a few weeks back I saw these candles on a 50% off sale.  I knew the silver glitter candles would be perfect for multiple parties.  Winter, Christmas, New Years, birthday, weddings, disco and more.  I like how they add a touch of sparkle to these lanterns. 

Powdered sugar donuts make the perfect display treat for winter parties.  They're inexpensive, you can stack them to look like a donut mountain covered in snow and they're great for dipping in hot cocoa or coffee. All I'm missing is little skier's swooshing down donut mountain. 

How did you spend your New Years Day?  Nice and lazy and cozy like me or did you get a jump on your resolutions and were super productive?
