    My fave would be A, I love the cocoa mix and the relaxing idea of a cocoa party! Not to mention how cute and classy the invite is!

    I would have to say that D, comes in next for me! It’s so simple and classy! I love the ornaments in martini glasses!

    My third fave would be E, I’m just a sucker for the bold contrast of black and white! And, the clocks, are too clever!

    To be honest I love almost everyone of them!!
