pop, fizz, clink with tiny prints
Sometimes planning a New Year’s Eve party can be a little overwhelming with unnecessary pressures if you’re playing hostess. I’ve teamed up with Tiny Prints this week to bring you this post for an easy and fun way to serve your bubbly this New Year’s!
What You’ll Need:
- Mini Bottles of Bubbly (Prosecco or Champagne will do)
- “Pop Fizz Clink” Gift Tags by Tiny Prints
- Sparklers
- Paper Straws and Cocktail Napkins
- Festive Serving Tray
- “Pop Fizz Clink” New Year’s Greeting Cards by Tiny Prints
- 3 Champagne Glasses (optional for straw display)
The mini bottles are an alternative to serving bubbly out of traditional champagne glasses. Not only does this mean every guests gets his or her own bottle but you also don’t have to worry about buying extra glasses for the evening.
Tiny Print gift tags are perfect to tie on each bottle – you can add your own hand written message or customized them online. I did both! I think these also make creative New Year’s gifts for friends and family even if you’re not hosting a party on the 31st.
The best part? The sparklers, of course. Tie a sparkler to each bottle and then your guests will not only toast to 2014 at midnight but also enjoy a little fun and sparkle too.
The straws can be used once the bottles are popped and by displaying them in champagne glasses, this will tie the entire NYE theme together.
As you already know, this year I decided to forgo Christmas cards and instead mail New Year’s Cards to my list (also pictured here). The custom “Pop Fizz Clink” design matches the gift tags and if you’re hosting, you can also have a card ready for each guest to leave with or send later on via snailmail.
Hopefully this inspired you to ring in 2014 as the hostess with the mostest!
P.S. Don’t forget to check out Tiny Prints for cards and other customized products!
Merry Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Hosting & Toasting!
As the oldest of 4, with my youngest sister being only 9, it’s safe to say that Santa visited us last night and enjoyed red wine and cheese on his stop (little little sister’s idea, not mine).
Whether you’re enjoying a “White Christmas” today or far from it (like myself down here in Florida), I hope your day is spent with those you love most!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday! Thank you for reading!
