There’s just something about dressing up fancy and having a delicious beverage in hand that screams “THIS YEAR IS GOING TO ROCK!”
We figured if we felt this way we had to have friends in the same boat looking for something fun to do. So, with one week’s notice, we threw it all together. I shared more about \some tips we found for throwing a party on a budget last minute.

I think we’ve learned the formula for perfect parties- there are four things needed to make any party awesome. Let me share the “Four F- Formula for the Perfect Party.”
How to Host The Perfect New Year’s Eve Party:
Here’s the formula that makes for a perfect NYE bash, with tons of New Year’s Eve Party Ideas.
#1. Photo Booth
I’m not sure what it is about photo booths, but they never seem to get old! The same mustache and glasses gig with a few other thematic props and BAM! guests are super happy to take some goofy photos together.
I grabbed dollar store items and made the rest with a die-cut machine.

We also gave less than three seconds’ notice to pull a funny face for this pic, and I feel this is sheer evidence of the quality of friends we have. LESS THAN THREE SECONDS people!

My insulin was spiked for the record, and I was wired most of the night. It’s kind of like my little gift in life when that happens, and for the record, my two worst best spikes have been on NYE. I have strong reason to believe the first was the night Jacob decided he loved me, I mean I was running around a mall in high heels, pushing and riding large chair-holding carts at Mormon chapels, and danced until 7:00 AM… clearly that shows I’m a responsible adult and one would want to be in a long-term relationship with me.
Anyway, I’m excited to report this was one of those nights. I’m not sure what else would inspire me to make all the females pose for a picture I like to call “The Non-Alcoholic Lush Sorority.”
