NYE/D party
So I told my friends I wasn't feeling NYE, but was down for NYD instead. They now want to do both 
They loved the NYD brunch & football idea. Most of them will have to travel to us regardless, so they'll all be here. I think they'll have a good time just all being together without me having to create the party of the century.
So I'm loving this invite since I really think it can do both NYE and NYD.
That does mean I want to send just one invite for both. It'd be the same people and I figure people will come to whatever they feel like. I wasn't thinking of any cutesy wording, just this. Tell me what you think.
Come celebrate the New Year with us!
Join us for cocktail & fireworks
Friday, December 31, 8:30-12:30
or drop in for brunch & football
Saturday, January 1, 10:00-3:00
I don't love the brunch & football line. Suggestions please. I want to convey that NYD is more like an open house, hence "drop in."
Re: NYE/D party
I would put cocktails & fireworks instead of cocktail
I like drop by better than drop in.
Also are they supposed to rsvp for brunch? I can't imagine keeping food warm from 10-3 and it still being good by 2:00.
Cocktail is obviously a typo, sorry.
I think drop by/stop by/drop in is a regional thing - nesties had lots of comments about this on a previous invitation of mine.
It's only brunch at the beginning of the time period, it'll be lunch and then just snacks in the afternoon. I have no intention of keeping food hot for 5 hours.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
our New Year's Day party includes the line...
Drop by between 10 and 2 to recover with friends.
We have a couple of punch bowls with our favorite recoveries (bloody mary for my husband. chicken noodle soup for me) and lots of starchy dishes. Mac and Cheese, Sausage Peppers and Mushroom Grinders, Garlic Popcorn. Homemade Pretzels with dark grainy mustard. Apple Pie, Chocolate chip cookies and whatever take alongs anyone else brings. The mac & cheese and the Sausage, Peppers and Mushrooms hang out in crock pots. (if you add a little extra milk at 1 hour intervals, Mac & cheese will keep for the whole time on low in the crock pot.). I can make the mac and cheese in my sleep and sometimes do that morning. The other dishes are made ahead of time; except the pretzels which get popped in last minute.
I like the brunch and football line. It very much tells guests what to expect.
Could you say "drop in anytime for brunch and footbal"? Would that make it more open house-ish?
My only concern would be that you use the word "or" and not "and" between the two dates and time. This is probably silly though, b/c I'm sure you're guests know that they're invited to both of they want to.
GL! Sounds to me like you're creating a fun tradition.
These were my two thoughts exactly!
If it's feeling wonky/weird on the invite, you could always do two invites in one envelope -- the cute, "fancier" invite for NYE and then a small insert about NYD (like if the invite is 5x7, put in a business card sized note that says something about the fact that there will be a second event on the 1st).
I like it a lot - I would use "and" instead of "or".
