One of my favorite ways to celebrate and spend time with friends is a great dinner party. While our apartment isn’t large, I’m more than happy to pack as many people into the space as we can and make it work. Add in a New Year’s celebration and my party hat is on. We spent the past few days in Seaside, FL with eight of our close friends and decided on a festive dinner party to ring in 2016. My talented friend Kelly worked on the place card calligraphy, we had festive cocktail napkins for our beverages and little take away treats of homemade chocolate chip cookies and personalized to-do notepads. What better way to start a new year than with a to-do notepad ready to be crossed off?
I love these little chevron stickers that I edited to read ‘from the kitchen of’. It’s such a fun touch to include on some homemade treats year round and there’s even room for you to include what the goodies are. Sometimes the tiniest details are what make the ordinary a little more special.
On our menu was this amazing sirloin roast, the best mac and cheese , roasted asparagus and cheesecake for desert. All paired with moscow mules and champagne, of course.
