2021 was another interesting year for all of us and we made do as much as we could. I was happy to have been able to squeeze in a bunch of fun activities with friends and families before the world changed again. So not all was lost! I hope all of you got to do the same.
For today’s post (and the last one of 2021), I want to showcase some lovely vintage New Years Eve advertisements & party announcements from the 1920s-1960s!
Let’s begin!

Love the images, so much fun! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you as well!
These make me yearn to go back in a time machine and attend one of these parties!
I know! They look so fun! Happy New Year Elinor!
🥳 Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Especially like the 1930 one with the redhead in the green dress. Not because I am a redhead who owns a green dress, but because I love the vibracy of that image and the style!
Good choice! Thanks for commenting!

LOVE those Emma Domb dresses. They remind me of Back to the Future’s Enchantment Under the Sea dresses. I soooo want one. Well, or maybe I could sew one! And maybe that will be next year’s NYE theme!!!
YES! Great observation! They do look like something from Back to the Future. Gosh I wish I could sew, so I too can have a number like this. Good luck if you take on this challenge!
