If we had to choose one night out of the whole year that we look forward to the most of anything, we’d absolutely have to say New Year’s Eve. There’s just something so celebratory and exciting about it that makes it one of our very favourite things to experience! That’s why we usually host a party and do our best to make it an awesome time for all our friends and family. Of course, that means DIY decorations and we usually try to set up an awesome photo spot as well, since we know how people love to post about their night on social media.
Just in case you love the idea of making an awesome photo space for your friends to use at your annual NYE party just as much as we do, if not more, here are 15 of the cutest DIY backdrop ideas that we’ve come across in this year’s search for inspiration!
